Vengeance Bay, also known as the Sunken Lands is a bay of Morgaelin on Pagan.

Description

This very bay was the site of the last big sea-battle in the war of the Pagans against the Zealans. The Pagans called upon Hydros to destroy their enemies. And she did so. She first sank the flagship of the Zealans, before bringing it back up to the surface, the crew now being her undead slave minions doing her bidding in the following battle. The Vengeance Bay is a very hard to reach area, as it only is possible by ship or boat, and therefore not often visited.

Lore

“

This area is beyond the reach of those without the means to cross the seas in safety — a rare thing in these times. The bay was the site of the last and greatest true battle between the Zealans and the Pagans, who won by calling upon Hydros to pull the Zealan leader's ship under the sea. To further the show of power, Hydros spat the ship back up, cursing all on board to eternal slavery as part of her undead legion. – from The Chronicle of Pagan (Ultima VIII)

Trivia

• The ghost ship is even shown on the cloth map of Pagan.
• Despite it being even mentioned in the The Chronicle of Pagan, Vengeance Bay is never actually visited. The area is victim of plot cuts. See Plot cuts in Ultima VIII.
• If the learning of Tempestry had not been removed from the final release, it might have provided the ability to visit the Vengeance Bay and the ghost ship.
