The Eastern Sign Post is a monument in the days of old Sosaria, located within the Lands of Danger and Despair. It appears in Ultima I.
Description[edit]
This sign post was one of eight major sites in the realm which adventurers once quested to find, in search of power or at the behest of the numerous kings of the land. Those who approached it felt none of the magical forces which surrounded so many other sign posts, and the location had no effect upon the capabilities of adventurers approaching it.[1] All this sign bore was a simple tautology, "Go East to go East."
After the death of Mondain, and the sundering of Sosaria, this curious artifact, like many prominent landmarks, vanished with the passing of time. It is not known what became of it. Eventually, the Ophidian culture placed their Shrine of Balance upon the landmass it once inhabited, calling it Sunrise Isle.
