As part of Broadsword Online Games’ continued run-up to the Time of Legends release, EM Malachi has penned another piece of fiction to establish the backstory and lore of the expansion.

The tale is split into two parts. The first chronicles the death of Wolfgang (Mondain’s father), and the way in which the citizenry of Akalabeth marked his passing. The second continues the story of Dupre, centuries after Wolfgang’s death, as he struggles past ambushes set by Minax. His objective seems to be to find the tombs of the kings of Akalabeth, which brings a nice circularity to events in the story.

Addionally, it seems that Ultima Online codes were briefly unavailable for purchase via the Origin storefront. They have since become available thereat, again.
