The Valorian Isles are a group of Isles in the southwestern seas of Britannia. First appearing in Ultima IV, it is mostly known for the town of Jhelom and the Shrine of Valor.
Description[edit]
The warm currents of the sea enable rich growth of tropical plants like palm trees, making the isles a beautiful location for a holiday. The isle group is dominated by Jhelom, the city of Valor, and the Shrine of Valor on the south isle. A moongate is located on the greater western island. A cave system known as the Heftimus Cave, is found on the biggest island as well.
Originally, the Valorian Isles only consisted of three islands, but in the 200 years between Ultima VI and Ultima VII, the western island formed due to volcanic activity. After the island had formed, the moongate was re-located to there.
Lore[edit]
“ | Slightly to the west lie the Valorian Isles. The walled town of Jhelom provides Lord British with the best fighters and also has the largest inn of the realm, where the service is outstanding. – from The History of Britannia (Ultima IV)
