  Moongate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
In the Ultima game universe, a moongate is a magical means of space or time travel that can be used to go to any place or time.
The Time Lord was able to create them and they were involved in the pursuit of Minax in Ultima II.
These types of moongate were favored by the final enemy of the Avatar, who was known as the Guardian, as they allow travel between dimensions.

 Ultima   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
Ultima 1-5 were originally developed on and released for the Apple II family of computers.
This was the only Ultima game published by Sierra On-Line, Inc From the game's story, we learn that Mondain's lover, Minax, is threatening the world through disturbances in the space-time continuum, and the player must guide a hero through time to destroy her.
This was the first Ultima game to feature a "conversation system"; players could interact with non-player characters in the game by specifying a subject of conversation, the subject determined either by a standard set of questions (job, health) or by information gleaned from other characters.

Ultima IX is the final chapter in what has been coined the 'trilogy of trilogies' and will continue the story from Ultima VIII and wrap up the Guardian saga (UVII-IX).
Ultima IX will use a similar conversation menu system, but with an improved approach, which feels more like a conversation in the real world, and every click will be relevant.
In the Ultima IX preview in the January 1997 issue of Edge magazine, Britannia is stated as being 256 screenlengths in width and 256 screenlengths in height.

The Avatar descended to explore the caverns beneath the castle, and found a large flrock gem within (as Nelson notes in the game, this was not unlike the three prisms within the three generators).
To bring down the flrock dome the Avatar had to collect small flrock gems from each of the worlds, which served as a magical support structure of sorts for the large dome.
As the Avatar was near to shattering the flrock dome, Guardian sent his forces through the gem to Castle Britannia, led by Mors Gotha, who was the Guardian's champion in a similar way as Avatar was Britannia's.

What is certain is that it is set after Ultima 9, and could perhaps be called Ultima X - although Corv discourages the use of this name as he wants to distance this project as much as possible from the now defunct UXO.
Worlds of Ultima: Lost Sosaria is a Neverwinter Nights module that tells the story of those companions of the Avatar who were missing without explanation after Ultima 7, as well as several other key characters from The Black Gate.
Ultima: Escape from Mount Drash is not a canon Ultima, and bears only a passing relevance to the Ultima storyline.

Ultima Underworld II continues the Guardian storyline and shows us worlds he already conquered.
Being bound to it, the Avatar shouldn’t be able to drop it or leave it anywhere else; thus he should have it at the castle with him.
Firing like mad on the Blackrock Dome would be too dangerous, of course, but Nystul could certainly put it to some good use.

 UO Stratics - Stories & Secrets - Items
In the previous Ultimas, flrock was used by The Fellowship to build the Black Gate, a magical doorway that would have allowed the Guardian to enter Britannia physically.
In Ultima Online, Nystul himself admits he does not know the purpose of flrock, nor it's relation with the Armageddon spell.
But it is clear by now that the Followers of Armageddon are seeking flrock actively, and we can only speculate that it will allow them to cast that dreaded spell.

 Hacki's Ultima Page - Ultima VIII nitpicks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
In Ultima IX, the speech is boring, emotionless, and unprofessional.
Another important thing to note is that Ultima VIII plays on a strange new world with foreign locations and characters, whereas Ultima IX rehashes old stories like the False Prophet affair in a miserable way.
However, at this point in the game, the Avatar hasn’t found out yet that the fragments of the Blackrock Obelisk must be used to defeat the Titans and gain their powers, which leaves the player in the dark as to why the Avatar wants the Breath of Wind.

Somewhere in the 200-year period between Ultima VI and VII, Horance constructed the Dark Tower out of flrock to the northwestern corner of the isle of Skara Brae, away of the city proper.
In the very center of the tower was the Well of Souls, a powerful magical-spiritual artifact that empowered the lich with terrifying magics that allowed him to raise dead at will.

The purpose of buidling a game engine would be, among other things, to support a variety of other platforms for a particular Ultima game, or to add more advanced features that would otherwise prove next to impossible with a simple patch.
It is designed for fans of the Ultima series of games and those who would like to make their own Ultima games or remakes using the Morrowind engine.
The Dragon Engine is an effort to build a game engine that resembles Ultima IV or V. At present, the author is no longer developing the engine and the project lacks any kind of web presence other than this brief segment.
