Age of Armageddon

The Age of Armageddon (sometimes referred to as The Guardian Saga) refers to the time period of the final trilogy of Ultima games.

Overview
The Age of Armageddon is the final Ultima age. The world of Britannia is again under attack, this time by a malevolent entity known as The Guardian. His plots, both subtle and blunt, threaten to tear Britannia and other worlds asunder. Only the Avatar, the famed Britannia hero and paragon of Virtue, can set things right - and in the end, in a way totally unexpected.

Real world notes
Many fans do not consider Ultima IX truly canon, as many liberties were taken with the Ultima world, and it often contradicts earlier Ultimas. The final realization, and resolution - that the Avatar and the Guardian are two sides of the same coin, that their ascension and absorption is inevitable - is a common concept in many other stories (such as The Matrix).
