  Britannian Tales

These are the collected tales of a group of strangers, who are compelled by happenstance and by prophecies beyond their ken into changing the face of both Britannia and the worlds beyond it.

Some of this work is composed of cooperative plot threads that took place on the rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons newsgroup. Other tales are the work of the credited authors.

 

A New Age of Darkness

A Plot Thread

This is the tale of a group of adventures, united by chance, who take it upon themselves to save Britannia from the renewed menace of the Shadowlords, and the mysterious entity behind their release. This tale was initiated by Lumina Dragon of the UDIC. It began on the 9th of October 1998, and ran for months before being completed. 

The Link above leads to the HTML version. A text version of the story is also available, here.

 

Strangers

A Plot Thread

This is a sequel to A New Age of Darkness, the tale of the quest to learn more of the mysterious Adversary who caused so much difficulty for the Adventurers in the prior Thread. This story was begun by Destrius Dragon of the UDIC.

There is a slightly smaller text version of this tale available here.

This Tale is seemingly complete as you read this text, and the most recent (and final) Update occurred upon the 10th of April 2000.

 

The Collector's Tale

Connections between Past and Future 

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. The Tale is the work of Dracos Dragon.

Part 1 was posted on the 18th of July 2000.
Part 2 was posted on the 24th of July 2000.
Part 3 was posted on the 25th of July 2000.

 

An Interlude: Helgraf's Tale

What actually happened to Helgraf after the events of Strangers?

 

Helgraf's condition was uncertain after the Prophecy of the Strangers was completed. This tale continues his story in his own realm. It is the work of Helgraf Dragon.

The Tale was completed on the 17th of October 2000

 

 

Yet Another Interlude: The Tale of St George's Dragon

Sometimes a thing needs to be done right.

 

More connections to the fate of Helgraf, and what came thereafter in Britannia. This story is the work of St George's Dragon.
