Beyond the Serpent Pillars

Beyond the Serpent Pillars comes with Ultima VII/2. It is 35 pages long. In-game, Erstam is the author of the book, and it is also used it as a part of the copy protection. In real-life, Andrew Morris has written the book.

The following topics are part of the book:
 * Foreword
 * Lessons of the past
 * Runescript and Ophidian alphabet
 * Travelling guide
 * Shops, commerce and the classes
 * Weapons and armour
 * Bestiary
 * Magic and its assorted topics

Something very important to notice is, that the book is written from Erstam's point of view, and many of his personal beliefs and opinion flow into the text. Therefore many things are quite different from reality, especially with the history of Sosaria, and the reader has to be careful what of it to believe (almost the same way as in The Book of Fellowship).
