In Ultima Online, the town of Nujel'm in Britannia lies on an island west of Verity Isle. Originally being called New Jhelom, the name was soon shortened to the current length.
Description[edit]
The island itself is devoid of any vegetation, apart from what is found in the cultivated gardens of the town. The island is a result of the forces creating this version of Britannia, as it doesn't exist in the main reality. The town is made of pure luxury, with marble houses, huge palaces and a large conservatory. However, in contrast to the sprawling, luxurious buildings that comprise the town, towards the northern end of the island is a large collection of grim hovels, ostensibly located just outside the town walls, showing the dark side of the town.
The moongate of the island only allows departure.

Nujel'm is located on a remote island off the coast of Vesper. This is a hot place: bathing suits, shorts, pastel colors and filmy fabrics adorn the locals, nothing heavy. Although its level of technology is high, it exists as a place to get away from it all.
Nujel'm is built of gleaming white and orange sandstone, and black and white marble. It is full of arches, sweeping buttresses, narrow and crowded bazaars full of doth-draped stalls, warrens of ghettoes carefully hidden from the tourists, and large airy palaces with pools and Grecian style columns. Nujel'm is considered a pleasure city, and often nobles from Magincia or Moonglow can be found vacationing on it's sandy beaches. There are rumors however that beneath it's glittery exterior Nujel'm is a city of corruption that nearly rivals Buc's Den.

The greatest attraction of Nujel'm may well be its beauty. The gardens are a delight to explore, and the city proper grew out of a municipal desire to be surrounded by color and nature, rather than a soulless outgrowth of commerce and practicality. Nujel'm is not the den of iniquity that some people would lead you to believe, but it is a place where the rules are more or less at the whim of the instant. Traditional right and wrong in this city are not so much ignored as adapted to fit the situation. This sometimes leads to disastrous results in the municipal Chess Field!

Places of Interest[edit]
- A life-sized chessboard is found in the town, with players often using it with themselves as the chess pieces for a game.
- The island also holds the entrance to the dungeon Prism of Light in its northern part. A dungeon that has, fitting to the theme of the island, been turned into a tourist (albeit warrior tourist) attraction, complete with having to pay admission.
