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.

Prominent Members[edit]

How to Join[edit]

In Ultima V: Lazarus, unlike the original, the Resistance plays a big role. The Avatar can fulfill numerous deeds for them in order to weaken the regime and help those they are against Blackthorn as well. Also, these is lots of optional plot surrounding them, including a possibility to betray them even worse than in the original.

In The Ultima 6 Project, unlike in the original where no trace[Clarification needed] was found, the Avatar can find the old and abandoned headquarters in Yew. In there lies the old journal of Landon, where he has written down his thoughts on the Avatar.
