Tommersville



Tommersville is a settlement on Pluto in the year 2112 A.D. It appears to exist within the alternate time line created by Minax's interventions during Ultima II.

Description
The village of Tommersville appeared to have been founded by or built in tribute to Margot and Al Tommervik, a Terran couple from the late 20th century who created the Apple II focused magazine Softalk. It was known that Earth's civilizations knew about Pluto's habitability at the time of the Stranger's quest against Minax, making it likely that the town's numerous references to the publication were not coincidental.

As a settlement, Tommersville sported venues for food and magical provisions, as well as an oracle named for the fabled magazine. The flora of the village formed an intricate arabesque around its buildings, spelling out the word "apple" in the northwest corner of the town. The initials of the Tommervik's first names could be found in the center square.

It is unknown if Tommersville existed after the death of Minax and the ensuing correction of the time stream, although Earth certainly had no contact with Pluto once history returned to its normal course.
