History of Britannia

The History of the land now known as Britannia is a very long one, full of turns and surprising events. This will be a rough overview over the history so far. (Up until Ultima VII/2)

Ancient Sosaria
The first to settle Sosaria were a race, who managed to defeat the Daemons trying to claim this world as their own. Binding them to their will, some of these beings vanished to a higher state of being, while others became mortal. They settled the land, in harmony with nature and magic. However, one one fateful day, over half a millon years ago, the Wisps traded with the mage Zog, giving him the Armageddon spell. Zog was foolish enough to try it. All life died on Sosaria, wiping out every sign of the Ancient Ones. Zog, alone in his empty world, died shortly later.

It would take a long time, before life returned to Sosaria, and the land was re-settled.

One day, the youth later known as Lord British entered the lands of Sosaria. Under the guidance of Shamino, he grew up to be the youngest ruler in Sosaria's history. And it was good that he came, because Sosaria was about to face the darkest times ever seen in history.
