The Second Age of Darkness

The Second Age of Darkness comes with Ultima II. It is 31 pages long. In-game, Lord British is the author of the book. In real-life, Richard Garriott has written the book.

The following topics are part of the book:
 * The story so far...
 * Instructions
 * Bestiary
 * Transportation & terrian
 * Magic
 * Time travel
 * Space travel

It is clear that this was still the beginning of the saga, as the book almost has no atmosphere, being more of a instruction manual with next to no illustrations. However, this task is mastered very good, as the instructions are quite clear.

There actually was an older version of the book that is quite different. This one can be found as a pdf-file here: The Book
