Valoria

Description
Valoria is the city dedicated to to the virtue of Valor, and was founded by survivors of Jhelom and of the Order of the Silver Serpent after the city and Serpent's Hold had both been destroyed during the Cataclysm.

Valoria takes its name from the Valorian Isles in the southwest of Britannia where it resides, and was constructed atop and within the very same volcano that had reduced the old city to cinders.

It is predominantly a city of fighters, and is home to the renowned Knights of Valoria.

History of the city
When Jhelom and Serpent's Hold were destroyed by the Cataclysm twenty years before the events of Ultima IX, the survivors of the Order of the Silver Serpent refused to despair and instead rebuilt a new city atop the very same volcano that had destroyed Jhelom and dubbed it Valoria.

Valoria quickly became the new city of Valor and the home of the finest warriors of Britannia: the Knights of Valoria.

Shortly after that however, a triad of powerful daemons calling themselves the Deamon Triumvirate appeared from the depth of the volcano and begun their reign of terror upon the city. The Valorians constantly lived in fear of these seemingly immortal daemons.

As the Avatar came to the city in Ultima IX, he found only a handful of Knights left after their commander Sir Drake left the city with his men in order to seal the dungeon Destard. Afraid of him, they only let him inside after he had brought them the head of the red dragon Talornia. When the Avatar found out that the key to destroying the Deamon Triumvirate was to kill each of them at the same time, he managed to rally the remaining Valorian Knights to his help and make them face their own fear, thus learning a true lesson of valor. With the Daemon Triumvirate finally destroyed, Valoria was finally freed from fear and the Avatar could restore the Shrine of Valor.
