Realm of the Gargoyles

Description
The Gargoyle Lands were the original homeworld of the Gargoyles, located on the other side of the world from Britannia. Travel to the gargoyle lands was only possible through a dungeon or with the Orb of the Moons.

History
The Avatar unknowingly visited the Gargoyle Lands by the way of the Abyss in Ultima IV, entering the Shrine of Singularity to read the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Later, the collapse of the Underworld created a reaction that caused the Ethereal Void to start tearing the Gargoyle world apart. The Avatar visited it in Ultima VI by the way of dungeon Hythloth. Only one island remained at that point, with pockets of the void already spreading.

It probably vanished completely after the evacuation of the Gargoyles.

Trivia

 * The gargoyle lands also exist in the 2009 Ultima Online expansion Stygian Abyss. As the gargoyle lands never collapsed into the Ethereal Void in Ultima Online lore, the world is much larger and include several gargoyle settlements. The southeast corner of the map is a nearly identical replica of the gargoyle lands in Ultima VI and is known as the Holy City. The world is called Ter Mur, which is Gargl for "world".
 * There is a common and widespread misconception that the gargoyle lands and the Underworld are one and the same, likely originating from the line in the Ultima VI Compendium which states that the gargoyles had only been seen in the Underworld prior to their appearance in Britannia. However, the Compendium is written from the perspective of Lord British at a time when no human was aware of the existence of the gargoyle lands. Every subsequent manual contains the true origin of the gargoyles.
