The First Age of Darkness

The First Age of Darkness comes with the re-release of Ultima I. It is 39 pages long. In-game, an unknown Sosarian is the author of the book. In real-life, Dave Albert has written the book.

The following topics are part of the book:
 * Introducion
 * Races and classes
 * Shops and facilities
 * Inside the Dungeons
 * Starwalking
 * Magic
 * Bestiary

It wasn't in the original release of the game. This book tries to bilt a bridge between the first part and the later, explaining a lot of the story in the process. Thus it is elemental to understand the game and the background.
