The Dungeon of Time is a dungeon in Sosaria that appears in Ultima III. Located on the island housing Death Gulch, it is a crucial destination for the Stranger on the quest against Exodus, as it is the only place to meet the enigmatic Lord of Time. Another boon the dungeon affords is Marks such as the Mark of Kings and Mark of Fire.

Description[edit]

This majestic labyrinth was first charted by Lady Tessa, who braved its depths as her contribution to Lord British's " Great Work."[1] It is only accessible by moongate when Felucca is a waning crescent.

In addition to allowing for this crucial meeting, the dungeon also held brands that would bestow the Mark of Kings and Mark of Fire upon those brave enough to touch them. The Mark of Kings is crucial for the quest against Exodus. Like many dungeons of the realm, it also held bountiful treasures for adventurers seeking material wealth.

Lore[edit]

Just to find this mystic dungeon is quite a feat, indeed. 'Tis rumored that the apparitions of the Time Lord can be seen within, hence the name. To find this most majestic place, all the powers of the Moon Gates must be called to aid thee. I cannot guide thee to the dungeon by precise location, for no reference point could I find. Gold was most abundant there, and if ye venture unto the lowermost depths, the Mark of Kings may be thine.
Mistress Tessa
