Ambrosia (U9)

The Underwater City is, where the Gargoyles retreated to in Ultima IX, a city on the ground of the ocean, protected by a huge dome.

After the great Cataclysm, the Gargoyles of Britannia isolated themselves from the human population and decided in their growing pride to build a city at the ground of the ocean, where no human would reach them. This did not go without conflict, and they in the end exiled their own king, Vasagralem, which in turn created a shism in Gargoyle society, now that a uniting government was gone.

The great inventor Wislem was credited with this "unbreakable" dome. However, his pride would be the Gargoyles' doom, as during the Avatar's visit to the city, the dome did start to collapse, killing all the inhabitants in the end.

Inhabitants

Trivia

 * In the game, the city is called "Ambrosia". However, this makes no sense, since Ambrosia is the lost land, which was re-discovered in Ultima VII and has nothing to do with the Gargoyles.
 * Also, the Gargoyles falling to Pride, a human anti-virtue, is illogical. According to the Gargoyle Virtues, which are explicitely mentioned in the game, they should have fallen to Chaos, the opposite of Order.
