A Safe Passage Through Britannia

A Safe Passage Through Britannia is the manual for Ultima Underworld II, written by Austin Grossman. It is 28 pages long and penned from a fictional perspective, with Grossman assuming the role of Lord British's court magician, Nystul, who aims for objectivity in his presentation.

Among its many topics, the book includes a recapitulation of events in Ultima VII, as well as the aftermath of the Fellowship's disbandment in the year that followed. These topics were never touched upon in the following games - and some not even in the game itself - and therefore are important for the background story.

The European edition of the book look different, being of a somewhat smaller format and printed on glossy paper, causing a slightly worse print than originally. They are also only printed in monochrome, while the original had the color blue in various shades added to it. The books were translated into German and French, and the language is stated on the cover as well.
