The Lands of Lord British

The Lands of Lord British was one of four original continents of old Sosaria, ruled over by Lord British and by the lord of the Castle of the Lost King in the era of Ultima I.

Description[edit]

The Stranger had the occasion to visit this realm, needing to obtain a red gem in the "Lost King's" possession that the hero might power the time-traveling device necessary to reach the evil wizard Mondain.

With the eventual death of Mondain and the shattering of his Gem of Immortality, Sosaria as it was known changed dramatically, and those inhabiting the Lands of Lord British found that the other three continents of the world had seemingly vanished as though they had never been. After this cataclysmic event, the lands remained loosely united under the rule of Lord British for some time, and were still called Sosaria, although by this age no "Lost King" remained as co-ruler. Years later, with the heralding of the renaissance which followed the death of Exodus, the kingdom was rechristened "Britannia," after its now solitary sovereign.

Lore[edit]

For reasons still unknown, the destruction of Mondain caused great upheaval. As much as three-fourths of Sosaria simply disappeared, wrenched from the world as if it had never existed. Among the missing lands were Shamino's kingdom (the Lands of Danger and Despair), the Lands of the Dark Unknown and the Lands of the Feudal Lords. It is interesting to note that only the realm of Lord British remained.
