Bloody Plains

Description
The Bloody Plains southeast of Minoc consist of two different parts: the wide grassy and very empty plains, and the poisonous and hard to pass swamps. This area got its name from the bloody battle in which Exodus' last forces were destroyed there. The area is not populated and instead notorious for the number of monsters roming it.

In Ultima IV and Ultima V, the extremely scarce reagent mandrake root was found in the single swamp of the Bloody Plains, which otherwise were simple grassland at the time. Beginning with Ultima VI, the swamp widened, taking in a larger portion of the Bloody Plains, making passage even more difficult.

Trivia

 * For whatever reason, in Ultima VII, the Bloody Plains were called "Bloody Marsh" on the cloth map and one time in the Book of Fellowship. The reason for this name change, which isn't even consistent with the usage of the actual name in the game, is unknown.
