NEWS, March 15th 2008:
Announcing the revamp of
Ultima Legacy,
a free roleplaying UO shard! After about 8 years of play, it is finally making
the transition from Sphere to RunUO. It is also going to have a a brand new
Serpent
Isle map for its players. Development is going well, with Ultima fanatics
working on art, plot, music and scripts, but the shard needs help in the C#
scripting department. If you can assist, or would just like to play when the
server goes live, please drop in and say so!
One new fanfic, "
Serpent Isle: Snippets of Elora's Journey"
which Shadow of Light Dragon originally wrote last year and you may have read
if you frequent FanFiction.Net. Check it out below!
Finally, the Ultima 7 comic fanfictions by
Damien Barban
have gone missing. If anyone knows where they are currently hosted, please let
me know.
A very big "Thank ye!" to the following Dragons for their help in
recovering the old Dragon Press fanfics: Aquamarine, Corvid, Dino the
Dark, Fenyx, Mimu, Natreg, Paulon, SilverWisp and Wtcher.
And finally, another huge "Thank ye!" to Goldenflame Dragon for
hosting this site, and to Wtcher Dragon for the CSS code.
Ultima is a game with a rich
tapestry of history and characters. This makes it ideal for writing
fanfiction. This page has links to all the Ultima fanfiction on the Web
that I know about, and provides a repository for those who do not have
web sites of their own. Most, if not all, of the writers of these
stories are
Ultima Dragons, if you
are a fan of Ultima then you should check the club out.

- Ultima: The
Mourning City

2, and Serpent Isle. Strange things are afoot in the north of
Britannia, but despite Lord British's best attempts at scrying the
area, he can see nothing. He sends the Avatar to investigate.

(By Various Ultima Fans)
- DAMN YOU, GUARDIAN! DAMN YOU!!!
- I've noticed that there wasn't much of the fiction related to
the magnificent Ultima 8. I hope to fill this searing gap with my epic
story of courage, passion, empty stomachs and extreme silliness.
Featuring heaps of familiar characters and places, it's laced with
humour, product placement and subtle references to modern pop culture
and that masterpiece of the silly fanfics that inspired me in the first
place - Captain Huggies! I also must thank my brother Nicoli and my
sister Olga for giving me lots of silly but often useful suggestions.

--Great Siberian Dragon aka Daria
Angelova
- New
Year's Night in Britannia
- I was inspired to write this poem after I read many parodies on
the 'Christmas Eve' theme. Except I guess there can be no Christmas in
Britannia, so I changed it to 'New Year's Night' instead. Enjoy!

- Captain Huggies: [Intro][Middle][Epilogue]
- From the dwagon who brought you such classics as "What If Wayne
Campbell Was the Avatar?" comes a delightful satire of the Avatar and
all things Ultima. Superbly drawn, the characters of the Avatar and
Shamino (as Captain Huggies) become luminously alive, offering a
glimpse into the author's twisted mind and displaying the full maturity
of her literary power. OK, maybe not. But the story has got Dragons,
Cinnabons, the Wet Noodle of Death, Richie Bears, Slurpees, and Spam,
so read it!!!!!
-
--Skyblade Dragon aka Melissa
Barlow
- The Jester Is Out
- Just your basic, silly Dwagon-ish tale of how Blitz Dragon
managed to ruin Rainbow's perfect day. It's loaded with inside jokes
that most of you won't understand; this is what happens when you're
bored at work.
-
--Rainbow Dragon aka Dave Behr
- Prisons
- This piece of writing describes the time after the Avatar has
liberated Castle British from its blackrock prison in Ultima Underworld
II, Labyrinth of Worlds. The timeline coincides with the games. I have
six months before we're shipped off to Serpent Isle, remember? And
something happened in that time span, right? Or, at least something
happened right after the blackrock prison crumbled to the ground. This
something?
-
--BloodyCats Dragon
- The Formation of Britannia
- A historical account of the time between the destruction of
Exodus and the Quest of the Avatar, during which Lord British struggles
against the grandson of his old rival, The Lost King, which ultimately
ends with the unification of the vast realm under the flag of
Britannia, but not without a terrible price.
-
--Duodecimal Dragon aka Anthony
Bongiovanni
- The Moonrift (text)
- A new Moongate has been discovered over the island of Buccaneers
Den. It leads to a neighbour realm of mystery and magic known as
Razainshazzara... The Throne of Ether. This place is the focal point of
all the Ether that fuels what we call magic, and evil forces seek to
conquest it. The Ancients have sealed all known paths into the realm
millinium ago, and the realm was safe until a Daemon, servant of the
Seararchs, discovered the Moonrift (a Moongate that occurs naturally
and appears normally as a jagged rift hanging in the air) from
Britannia to Razainshazzara.

- The winning skit from the Ultima Dragon's 25th Anniversary Bash contest.
Performed once at the Bash, and now presented here for your enjoyment and
edification.
-
--Goldenflame Dragon, aka Adam Burr
- Ultima: Tapestries
- The tale of what happened in Britannia while the Avatar was
trapped in Pagan. Tells of the Companions' return, and the Guardian's
conquest. Meant to be Part 1 of 3, but the other parts are unlikely to be
written at this point.
-
--Goldenflame Dragon, aka Adam Burr
- The Guardian: Ascension
- The story of the Guardian... and his master. Takes place before and
during the previous story.
-
--Goldenflame Dragon, aka Adam Burr
- Birth of a Dragon
- This is just a little something to get me warmed up...sort of to
commemorate my becoming an Ultima Dragon (it's the highlight of the
year for me to become part of a group of Ultima freaks :) ). It's quite
short, but please tell me what you think. There'll be more to follow...
-
--Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
- The Dark Realm: [1][2][3][Epilogue]
- The shattered remnants of the Black Gate spilled across the
floor and vanished into nothingness accompannied by a satisfying scream
of rage from the Guardian. We'd won. Britannia was safe once more.
Guess again. My work as the Avatar is never done. I should have been
spending my free time trying to find a way home, but the Guardian had
other plans.
And I was at the centre of them.
-
--Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
- The Black Ankh: [Prologue][1][int][2][int][3][int][4][int][5][int][6][int][7][Epilogue]
- Having just liberated Castle Britannia and all within from the
Guardian's Blackrock prison-dome, again I felt that a little rest
wouldn't be too much to ask for. Solving a Labyrinth of Worlds wasn't
something I did every day, after all. The Guardian just laughed
silently. He wasn't done with me yet... (The Black Ankh immediately
follows Ultima Underworld II and is the sequel to The Dark Realm.)
-
--Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
- Blackthorn's Inquisition
- This is a brief fan fiction set in the time of Ultima V. It's based on the
capture of the Avatar and her companions in Blackthorn's fortress and told
from the perspective of one of the guards... the warrior Gertan.
-
--Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
- Serpent Isle: Snippets of Elora's Journey
**NEW! March 15th**
- When all's said and done, I think the Avatar had a pretty hard time in
Serpent Isle. Certain events from the point of view of Elora, my own Avatar.
Contains Serpent Isle spoilers.
-
--Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
- A Destiny's Tale
- This story is an historical essay regarding the entire Ultima
series focusing on the involvement of the Time Lord throughout the
ages notably in regard to the Avatar... and the Guardian.

--Sergorn Dragon aka Marc
Charlot
- Return to the Serpent Isle
- It has been five years since the events of Ultima IX, and
Shamino decide to set up an expedition to the Serpent Isle, intending
to find out what has happened to his former land since he departed it
after the events of Serpent Isle. But the journey will not be an easy
one... and for the two young members of his expedition, it might just
be the time to find out what they are trully made of...
-
--Sergorn Dragon aka Marc
Charlot
- Return to Britannia
- Balance has been restored, but the Avatar has myteriously
vanished from the Temple of Balance, and the companions find
themselves stranded on the Serpent Isle. How are they
going to return to Britannia? And even more importantly: what
happened to the Avatar? (Note: While it can be read independently
from it, this story is tied to 'Return to the Serpent Isle')
-
--Sergorn Dragon aka Marc
Charlot
- A Boring Story
- The Avatar has left for the Serpent Isle with his/her three
companions on a quest to pursue the evil Batlin and rescue Iolo's
missing wife Gwenno. Unfortunately, the Avatar is unaware of the
cataclysmic events that is about to befall the multiverse... SwiftHeart
Rabbit has apparently gone mad and he plans to destroy the Ultima
Dragons. Now his master, SwiftHeart Dragon, along with his two good
friends, Rainbow and Underworld, embark on a quest to stop him.

--Blackthorn Dragon aka David
Clarke
- Reservoir Companions
- They were four hired companions assembled to attempt a virtuous
undertaking. Then when their plans go awry in a bloody ambush, these
hapless companions realize that one of them is a goblin spy. But which
one?
-
--Blackthorn Dragon aka David
Clarke
-
- The Creation
- This is something I wrote quite a while ago. In December of '96
I believe. It's a spoof off of: "How God created Earth and the Heavens
with Linux." Run through it, most people don't believe it's
blasphemous. =)
-
--Draconi Dragon aka Tim Cotten
-
- Tale of the Mystics
- This story covers what happened to the Mystic weapons and
armour. Set between the end of Ultima 5 and after the end of Ultima 6,
this tale is all about the Mystics and the one who harnessed their
power.
-
--Dino the Dark Dragon aka Daniel
D'Agostino
- The Return
- "The Return" is about the call to battle that separated a
family, which later returned together.
-
--Dino the Dark Dragon aka Daniel
D'Agostino
- The World of Pain
- A single morning in the life of the Avatar -- a kind of morning
that you usually do not read about in the chronicles. You get to
glimpse into the dark, tormented side of Avatar's soul -- his deeds
come back to haunt him... It happened during Avatar's quest to prevent
the Guardian from entering Britannia, but it could have happened any
time. Take heed!
-
--Daermonestroer Dragon aka Victor
A. Danilchenko
- The Collector's Tale
- This is a short monologue about the Collector, who appeared in A New Age Of Darkness and Strangers; it acts as a story between the
two tales (both of which should be read first for the background) and
will be part of the character development arc of Dracos and Kol-qu-han
in A New Age Of Darkness 2 when it begins.
-
--by Dracos Dragon
- The Mage's Quest
- This is based on the game Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle by
Origin Systems Inc. It starts out sometime between the fall of Exodus
and the Quest of the Avatar, and tells all about how the mage Erstam
led a group of outcasts to a new world.
-
--Andros Dragon aka Chris Edwards
- Mixed Virtues
- Blackthorn arranges a trap for the avatar; Riana learns a deadly
prophecy; Lord British realizes he’s made a grave error.
Writer’s note: After much soul-wrestling I’ve decided to make the
avatar...a male! However, in the interest of gender balance and making
some
plotlines um...slightly easier, I’ve added a new female
character-Riana, Iolo’s daughter, replacing the long-retired adventurer
as the newest
companion of the avatar (it also, coincidently, makes the plotline more
unpredictable from the game!). This story takes place right after
Ultima 5
and the capture of Blackthorn. One thing not told in the story is that
Blackthorn destroys the moongates right before his defeat, trapping the
avatar in Britannia. Disclaimer: This is purely for fun and not profit.
-
--Emowyn
- U9: Dissention
- The story as it stands is...
A parody poking fun at the quirks and continuity of the later Ultima
games, a "what-if" alternative history, based on the premise that the
Avatar drowned on Pagan, my own little romp through Britannia, a loud,
wet raspberry in the direction of Origin and Electronic Arts, a
not-quite-but-almost completely serious look at what could have been
done with the established world of Britannia, me thinking of silly
stuff to write down.
-
--Joshua Fair aka Jhykron
- A Moody Piece
- I wrote this a long time ago, immensely frustrated by not being
able to keep Mortegro alive after he joined.
-
--Dalmar Dragon aka Z.P. Florian
- Mac A Tattoo
- A Captain-Huggies-inspired piece of inspired lunacy...
-
--Atticus Dragon aka Addison
Godel
- Part of This Complete Breakfast
- The sort-of-sequel to Mac A Tattoo; a serial story, presumably
ongoing for a longish period of time, it satires Dragonly events in the
middle of its marvellously odd plot. Think of it as the UDIC's
Doonesbury.
-
--Atticus Dragon aka Addison
Godel
- Not An Icicle
- Not An Icicle was written because I was bored a long time after
finishing POTCB. The ending is even more unsatisfactory than POTCB's,
but it's here for completeness's sake. Early 1997.
-
--Atticus Dragon aka Addison
Godel
- Justice
- I was toying with the idea of writing more based on the other
virtues to make 8 stories in all, a sort of 'Tales of Britannia', but I
got busy. Real busy. Most of the charactes in this story are an
invention of my own. It was written sometime in February [1996] because
I was experimenting with alternative characterisation in an established
world. (Making up my own people, but using someone elses map, so to
speak)
-
--Ianzu Dragon aka Hawkeye
- An Interlude: Helgraf's Tale
- Helgraf's condition was uncertain after the Prophecy of the
Strangers was completed. This tale continues his story in his own
realm. The Tale was completed on the 17th of October 2000.
-
--Helgraf Dragon
- The Tale of Captain Johne
- It is the Age of Enlightenment for Britannia. The dungeons have
been sealed, the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom has been raised from the
Abyss, and evil has been spurned from the land. But on the eve of a
summer solstice, disaster strikes the frigate of Captain Johne, and he
and his companions find themselves entrapped in the Underworld. It is
an event far more cataclysmic than the Captain can imagine, for his
imprisonment marks the beginning of his tragic destiny, and the dawn of
a new age of darkness. . .

which the Avatar and the Guardian meet face to face and comment on the
changes Ultima IX has gone through in the last two years.
-
--Caleb M. Hoffman
- Ultima Stinx
- An extremely ridiculous parody of Ultima 6. (It really helps if
you view the intro while reading the first part) You'll either love it
or hate it.
-
--Democh Dragon aka Donald Holten
- The Chronicles of Lord British
(Also, Suomeksi)
- Chronicles of Lord British tells the story behind the mysterious
Lord British. Is he Good or is he Evil, or something in between? As the
story unfolds you will realize that things are much more complicated
and hideous than meets the eye; Who is Guardian whom torments
Britannia? Who are the mysterious Great Old Ones? Is there a God? Is
Armageddon near? What is the meaning of life? This and more will be
uncovered! In Finland the Chronicles span already over 30 chapters,
over 300 kb's of text! And the effect to the people has been
incredible: many religious Britishist Extremist Sects have been formed
and Chronicles of Lord British merchandise sells like peanuts. So
prepare for the Ultimate High Adventure and Road Movie: The Chronicles
of Lord British!

- Ultima VII: The Return

- The Tale of Hunter Dragon
- This is a multi chapter story in progress using midi-format live
update music that can be found on the dragon main pages. Each chapter
is set to a different piece of music based on the mood of the story.
The story takes place during the time period of Ultima 7, and revolves
around the Guardian's threat to Britannia and the efforts of a small
group of Dragons to aid in stopping him as well as saving the life of
one Dragon's adopted human daughter. (Finally after many months, even
years, of looking for these stories it was recovered. Thank You to
everyone.)
-
--Hunter Dragon aka Derek R.
Huff
- The Tale of Mecandes
- The story of a swashbuckling bard's tragic past in a journey
which takes him from Skara Brae to Jhelom and beyond. This story
addresses his discovery of the new "magical" properties of the bard's
music, and thus leads us into Ultima Online: Shattered Legacy.
-
--Mecandes Dragon aka Rob Huston
- The Hitchhikers Guide to the Void
- This is obviously a parody of that most remarkable book. The
story begins a year after Ultima IX when the Avatar shortly encounters
a foe capable of destroying the entire Void. There are currently two
episodes in perhaps a 5 episode "trilogy". Hope you enjoy them...
-
--Detherk Dragon aka Wyatt R
Johnson
- The Tale of the Magebane
- You've used the Magebane to save Britannia and Serpent Isle, but
do you know how this mystic blade came to be? Before the times of the
Guardian, the Magebane was created for a terrible purpose by a man
driven by vengeance. But even creating the blade cost him more than he
would have dreamed, and only brought the same fate upon him and his
kin...
-
--Soleil Dragon aka Kaliph
- The Dagger of the Mind
- A grim tale which features parts from Ultima 7: The Black Gate
but mainly set in Britannia during the end of Ultima 7 Part Two:
Serpent Isle, this story tells of an assault of the Guardian on Castle
British, featuring Sentri, Gorn and Tseramed, and a powerful artifact
of terrible power. E-mail me with your comments.

--The Amazing Dragon aka Stuart

- The Aftermath of Ultima VIII Pagan: The Lost
Vale
- Ever wonder what happened to the Pagans after Ultima VIII? This
story tries to answer those questions as a group of Pagans mount an
expedition which takes them into the Lost Vale, home to unique dangers
and characters not found anywhere else in Pagan.
-
--The Amazing Dragon aka Stuart
Kerrigan
- The True Tale of Batlin
- At last the true tale of the villain Batlin is told, starting
from his shady past, and going on past his days exploring Britannia,
and when he first met the Guardian, and finishes with the formation of
the Fellowship.

Pendragon, Merlin, and other Arthurian characters being transported to

Sir Lancelot, Nystul and Merlin! Interested? Then read the prologue of
this projected story where the Avatar is faced with a new challenge-
getting someone other than himself home...

- The Fearsome Passage
- 'Twas a fearsome passage, Avatar!' moaned Iolo.
It certainly was, and this fic details the horrors and tribulations
suffered by the Avatar and his sla...Companions during the journey to
the Serpent Isle.
It suggests reasons as to why the Avatar found loads of cool stuff in
UW2 yet turned up in the Serpent Isle with very little in the way of
decent weapons and armour. And why does he only take 3 companions with
him? And what evil schemes are being hatched in Britannia in his
absence? And just read it. Please. Someone.
WARNING: This story includes scenes of incredibly intense illiteration
and bad puns.
-
--Tailrace Dragon aka Ewan
Munro
- Two Wanderers
- I noticed that alot of the stories on here are either dramatic
or comical. Mine is both or will be when I'm finished. Anyways it's
about two people (They are modern teenagers!) who end up in Britannia.
It's about their first coming there, then they realize they're stuck
there. And it tells of their new life and adventures in Britannia. It
involves all the characters and your average Britannian. Enjoy!!

it funny. I'm also looking for suggestions. Just tell me other things

"Zog" tells the tale of the final moments of Zog, the earliest known inhabitant of Sosaria.
Very little is known about Zog, as the Wisps only mention him in passing and his bones tell no tales. This
story breathes life into an otherwise faceless character,offering a fleeting glimpse of his difficult choice
to bring about the end of an entire world. This story is Chapter One of "Ultima 0: Origins", a work
in progress that describes the early history of Sosaria and the introduction of Ultima's main characters.

- Fallen Legacy
- In the months following the tragic death of Sir Cabirus, the
Colony of the Abyss has plunged into civil war and strife. The chasm is
has once again become inhospitable for the Virtuous, as the races
struggle over the shattered remnants of Cabirus's dreams, fighting in
the rage of their resurfaced enmity. It is in this swirling turmoil of
extreme prejudice that Knight Vitalar of the Order Crux Ansata must
fight to overcome his own doubts over the wisdom of Cabirus's dream and
restore his faith in the righteousness of the Virtues. With his very
world collapsing around him, Vitalar must face the mad mage Tyball and
put an end to his diabolical machinations.
-
--Christian Orlowski aka BlueClaw
- Madman's Rage
- What if the mage madness had afflicted the Avatar before he
destroyed the tetrahedron generator? How would he have handled his
investigation of the Fellowship? This fan fiction endeavours to tell
the story of the Avatar, mind warped by the disruptions in the Ether,
plagued by the beginnings of the mage madness, as he struggles to stop
the foul machinations of the Fellowship and its patron Guardian. But
how can a madman possibly stand a chance of stopping an organization as
powerful and influential as the Fellowship, disadvantaged by his
sickness as he is? The cruel and drastic measures that he takes soon
reveal to his comrades that his methods are little better than the
Fellowship's in dealing with his opponents, and time is running out for
the Companions to stop the maniacal Avatar from carrying out his
genocidal plans to fruition.
-
--Christian Orlowski aka BlueClaw
- The Journalist and the Sea
- Jimmy Malone, former companion of the Avatar from the perilous
Valley of Eodon and ace reporter for Ultimate Adventure Magazines, has
struck on hard times. It has been three years since his adventure in
Eodon, long enough for his fame and fortune over the scoop of the
century to fade out of public interest almost entirely. Yet the days
will only grow harder for Jimmy when a freak accident involving
corporate agents bent on objectives of avarice and a certain corrupt
moonstone teleport him to Britannia. For soon after he comes into the
possession of a mysterious amulet that a band of pirates, led by the
notoriously truculent Silverbeard, will stoop to any lengths to steal.
Burdened with the corrupt moonstone and the amulet, pursued by both
corporate agents and bloodthirsty pirates, Jimmy must survive to enlist
the aid of the Avatar's Companions and find a way home. But it quickly
becomes apparent that more than just greedy men are after the items
that he possesses, as he delves deeper into an unpleasant myriad of
conflicting agendas and desires, the implications of which could very
well have dire repercussions for all three worlds of Britannia, Eodon,
and Earth.

--Paladia Dragon
- Ultima on Strike
- What if the Companions have had it with the stupid things we
make them do in our stories? And what if they go on strike against the
dumb story writers of the UDIC? And what if all this was a story? Quit
trying to answer the questions and just read it!
-
--Paladia Dragon
- Shamino: Warrior Princess
- In the time of ancient gods, warlords, and kings, a land in
turmoil cried out for a hero. He was Shamino, a not-so-mighty princess
forged in the heat of battle. The power, the passion, the danger, his
courage will change the world! Well, maybe not. Based on the
ever-popular Captain Huggies comes Shamino: Warrior Princess!
-
--Paladia Dragon
- And Never To Be Reclaimed
- Its set twenty five years after Serpent Isle on Britannia, which
has been conquered by the Guardian. I actually wrote it mainly out of
protest because I feel Ultima 9's plot sucks. :-) If enough people like
this story, I'll probably write "my" Ultima9, with a different plot.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this and I'm curious to what people think of
it. (admittedly, though, I do believe it drags on in a few places).
-
--Miscellaneous Ultima Fan aka William
Peters
- A Night in the Life
- Caught up in the questions in his head, the Avatar takes a rest
and decides to dream. The visions flashing through his head take form,
and he sees what is happening elsewhere...that there is more to the
land than just a 'hero's' quest...on the threshold of greatness are so
many others, and on the simple loneliness are yet more.
-
--CosmicPhoenix Dragon aka Phoenix
- All I Ever Wanted
- Ultima, the tale of the False Prophet, was much more important
than some would believe. In fact, there is a reason why Brittania seems
to change so incredibly between Ultima trilogies. Not only does this
explain that, but it also delves into the true people of
Brittania...and includes commentary on sudden acquiral of harpsichord
skills.

- The Shadow Within
- When an ancient evil threatens to destroy her world, Aryn must
seek help -from a place known as Britannia...
This is my first attempt at writing an Ultima fanfic, so I hope it's
not too bad:) I'm going to explain(eventually) things such as the
secrets of the universe, the creation of Britannia, the origins of
blackrock, the fate of other worlds, and...I'll stop stalling and let
you people read for yourselves:)

- Ultima: Core of Darkness
- I wrote Core of Darkness in 1993 pretty much as a way to poke at
the egos of a bunch of Prodigy Dragons -- all good-natured, of course,
and all the dragons I poked at were ones I liked a lot and thought
would appreciate being immortalized. It was originally going to be a
lot longer than it is now, and a lot more consistent, but... I got
kinda rushed towards the end. Anyway, it seems pretty kewl now, and
I've had a lot of fan mail about it, so... I guess it's about time to
actually get serious work done on the sequel I've promised all these
years.

extrordinary quest of finding their luggage...what will happen? I don't
even know, cause I haven't written it yet...

- Ankalwis: [1]
[2]
- Deep within the bowels of the earth, within the immense
Underworld, the cold silence is about to be broken as a tribe of
underworld Dragons, the Sept, discovers the possibility of the
existence of another world: the world above, held within the grip of
the puppet Blackthorn, his stings pulled taught by the evil
Shadowlords. A young Dragon is thrust into it, into a jouney of
discovery, not only of a strange new land, but of his own mind...

- The Dark Crucible: [1][2] (text)
- This is basically a multi-layered fic with a ton of crossovers,
and I must admit, it isn't Ultima-based. However, the Avatar *will*
play a major role in the story, and is one of the main protagonists.
This said, I think this qualifies this fic as an Ultima Fanfic.
-
--Demon Sword
- DragonScales
- This is a story set right before the beginning of Ultima 7, Part
2: Serpent Isle, about two dragons and a quest to save the honor and
integrity of the dragons, and the weyrmount, while saving Britannia
from a growing evil that only the dragons know of, and that only the
dragons can defeat. The Avatar & friends have a brief part before
departing to the Serpent Isle.

- The Ultimatum Chronicles
- It's basically my rendition - one more "correct" - of what
happened during the Ultima 1 era, put together by bits and pieces from
around the Ultima series. Each and every fact in there has a basis,
except the Dragons scene.

- A number of weeks ago a thread on r.g.c.u-d was discussing
whatever happened to Iolo, Gwenno, Shamino etc. on Serpent Isle. I
contributed with a farsical playlet suggesting one possible outcome; to
this Lumina Dragon added and refined my work.

If you would like your Ultima fanfiction displayed here, you can email
it to me,
Shadow
of Light Dragon. If possible, please zip your fanfic before sending
it (unless it's already online, in which case you can just tell me
where it is). Other things you should include:
- Your name and/or alias
- A link to your fanfic at your own site (if applicable)
- A short blurb (like other fics on this page)
- Your desired email address (if not the one used to submit your
fanfic)
I am aiming to get all displayed fanfiction 'on site', as links tend to
disappear into the ether as time passes. If you send me a link to your
fanfiction instead of the fanfiction itself, I will duplicate the text
here and include the link in its page. I will
not publish links
by themselves (or at least, not without very good reason :p).
Thanks to
Underworld
Dragon; Dragon Press was his idea and he "hoped" someone else would
do it.
