 The Bog of Desolation | |
The Bog of Desolation is a massive swamp at the northern shores of Lock Lake.
Description[edit]
The northern area around Lock Lake had always been swampy. However, the mountains around Stonegate had always been a good shield against the swamp covering a greater area. This changed in the time between Ultima VI and Ultima VII, when rockslides freed the way for the swamp to engulf Stonegate, forming the Bog of Desolation. This huge swamp is a great problem when travelling to eastern Britannia and is inhabited by various nasty creatures.
Lore[edit]
| “ | For several generations ownership was passed down the Vemelon line until one day the very mountains nearby opened up, and the swamps engulfed the castle. Now, rumors purport that a colony of trolls have taken up residence amongst the ruins, along with an ancient wizard, but no one has ever confirmed their existence. – from The History of Stonegate (Ultima VII)
