Drylands

Description
The Dry Lands in the northeast of the Britannian main continent are a big desert. The desert had formed when a big drought had hit the area, drying up Lake Generosity completely. Although the lake has partly reformed, the Dry Lands remain as they are. Situated in the middle of the desert are the Shrine of Sacrifice and the Ant Mound, while at its south end, the mining town of Vesper exists in this dry region. The bordering western mountains house the Vesper Mines.

The desert had formed prior to Ultima V. In Ultima V and VI, it housed the house of Sin Vraal, and in the latter installment the Ant Mound. Part of Lake Generosity re-appeared in Ultima VII.

Lore
''The deserts of northeastern Britannia are hot, dry, and easy to lose one's way in. Besides all sand looking much like all other sand, the heat is apt to play tricks on the eye, misleading travelers with landmarks that are not really there.''

Britannia's third large lake, the one-time picturesque Lake Generosity, was a casualty of the great drought of the northeast and is now simply a bed of dry sand.
