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.
