Probably my need to fill in empty spaces and having found no other sources that contain a written history for the Pacific Shard. My first character was Engval, and to bring him alive I needed a history for him. He needed to have that sense of history so that he could react to the world according to what he knew and experienced. The void prevented him from truly becoming integrated with the world he exists in. As I played the game I came across bits and pieces that helped flesh out the history, but not enough. I began reading whatever information I could find on all the Ultima games. I saw a great void in the history of Britannia between the time the Gem shattered and the shards were turned on. So armed with information I decided to write a history for the world that Engval and all my characters can relate to. Since starting this I have become part of a project involving the seers and GMs that also hope to create a singular history for Britannia.
What will this project encompass?
My goal is one of history and one of geography.
I want to create a vibrant history that I hope others will accept and eventually
work into their own characters. This is not a project I hope to do alone.
I will seek out those who have a story to tell or a theory they wish to
present. Together I hope to create a world that is touchable and in some
way a little more understandable.
