Anodunos

Anodunos was once a great city-state, a trading center for the southern continent of its world (name unknown), famed for its rich Filanium deposits. Its people were losing a war with the northern city-states, and its sorcerers sought aid from the being called the Guardian.

He won their war for them--made them lords of their world for a time. But he demanded things in return--first supplies, then weapons, finally soldiers and slaves. Too late, they understood the nature of their ally. Eventually the people of Anodunos refused the Guardian's demands, but by that time they had helped him gain too much power over the world. The Guardian crushed their nation utterly.

The day the city fell; at midday the fountain in the town square froze in an instant. The next minute the people felt the cold air flowing outwards; eventually, the entire continent had frozen under.

When the Avatar arrived in the ice caves that led to the frozen capital in Ultima Underworld II, he/she had to first release the dam controls to free the way to the city. Ending the Guardian's magic in the area, the souls of the city were laid to peace. Later, the Avatar had to use the Filanium deposits in the quest.

Only three people remained in this cold hell:


 * 4T44, an Ice Golem with the duty to guard the dam controls.
 * Beatirice, a lonely dire ghost.
 * Mokpo, who had gone totally mad, and thinks reality is a dream.
