Earth (Aftermath)

2112 A.D., also called the Aftermath is one of the four major time-zones accessible through the time doors within the alternate history of Earth created by Minax's disruptions in Ultima II.

Description
The state of the Earth in 2112 was caused by a massive (and likely nuclear) struggle of major nations against one another the year prior. The end result was a cataclysm so great that human civilization was wiped out, and the planet was left an infertile, burnt husk, with large impact craters in the places where New San Antonio, Northern China, and much of southeastern Europe and the Middle East once stood. The only survivors of this time were those able to escape this hellish fate by means of the time doors, and the only settlement of the era was Pirates Harbour, a city in Russia seemingly created by the gathered remnants of the old Soviet Union.

During the quest to destroy Minax, it was necessary for the Stranger to enter this blighted time, as it was the only accessible period in history where the technology for space travel could be found, and the hero had pressing business to engage in upon the fabled Planet X.

Trivia

 * Britannian sages declared that all the works of Minax in this age (as well as in the previous three ages) were averted when the Time Doors were closed. This is absurd, because if it was true, Minax would have become aware of her own defeat just by the fact that all her machinations in 1990 A.D. were already averted when she first came to 2111 A.D.
