Resistance
The Resistance is a organization in Ultima V which opposes Lord Blackthorn’s rule.
History[edit]
After Blackthorn turned the Virtues into draconian law and turned Britannia into a dictatorship, a resistance movement formed against him. The still-free members of the Great Council were all part of the Resistance, as were some of the Avatar’s companions. The Avatar soon learned about the Resistance when Terrance accidentally spoke of it. Once a member of the Resistance, the Avatar actively worked to weaken Blackthorn's rule.
The Avatar can betray the Resistance to the Oppression to gain possession of the jeweled weapons and jeweled armour. However, since they are the weakest weapons available, treachery offers little reward.
Lore[edit]
| “ | Yew is a city in bondage to Blackthorn’s will; a place where Justice is no longer served with the august integrity that once governed the decisions of the Druidic court. But abandon not all hope for this towne, for the true goodness of Yew’s people lies just beneath the surface... seek it there, and ye shall find it. |
