Time of Legends

It is hard to describe what the Time of Ledgends really is. It is one one hand a place far, far into the past. So far, that it can't be describer with words. On the other hand, the place stays outside of the normal flow of time, and is only accessable to mighty beings like Mondain, Minax or the Time Lord. It is said, that evil influence from this time and place, can poison the future and destroy all hope.

It was implied that Mondain's fortress in Ultima I is in the Time of Ledgends, therefore the need for a time machine to breach through to him. In Ultima II, Minax' fortress Shadowguard was located there, protected by a huge mass of the most horrible mosters. Apart from her castle, there also were Time Gates to all four time episodes available in Ledgends. With Minax' death and the return of her fortress to the real world, the Time Gates stopped working, and the Time of Ledgends was never visited again.
