Baradin's Town



Baradin's Town is an anachronistic village on Earth in the Pangea which exists in what would be the early Mesozoic period of Earth. It exists within the alternate history created by Minax's Time Gates in Ultima II.

Description
Baradin's Town could be found at the southern end of the Pangea, in the region that would become Africa. It was an aberration in what should have been present during the era, as the earliest human settlements would not have developed until several million years in the future. Still, Baradin's town existed, and was home to a modest deli, an oracle, a chapel and a magical provisioner.

Many of its inhabitants, including two astronauts, appeared to be knowledgeable of the mysterious Planet X implying that some of the settlers had likely originated from a later time-zone where interplanetary travel was possible.

It is presumed that after the death of Minax and the ensuing correction of the time stream, Baradin's Town disappeared from Earth's reality. After the death of Minax and the disappearance of the Time Gates, Baradin's Town became unreachable. Millions of years later, the village of Le Jester stood in a very close location in Africa.
