Drylands

Description
In the northeastern corner of the continent of Britannia lies the Dry Lands, an expansive desert formed when a sustained drought struck the area, drying up the area around Lake Generosity completely. Although the lake has partly reformed in later years, the Dry Lands remain desolate. Situated in the middle of the desert, surrounded by trackless dunes, lies the Shrine of Sacrifice and the Ant Mound, while at its south end, the mining town of Vesper exists in this dry region. The bordering western mountains house the Vesper Mines.

The desert had formed prior to Ultima V. In Ultima V and VI, it featured the house of Sin Vraal, and in the latter installment the Ant Mound. Part of Lake Generosity re-appeared in Ultima VII.
