Courtesy of Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum, Ultima Aiera is pleased to present these eight (8) photographs of the “Wild Basin Expedition” Team (a.k.a. the development and production staff of Savage Empire). A few of these pictures — one, in fact — were used in the Ultimate Adventures book that came with Savage Empire. This book was an additional ‘book of lore’ that came with the game.

The story in the book — which treats Savage Empire as a movie production — is of course all entirely fictional, and the characters are all members of the production and development team.

Interestingly, the shoot itself did not happen outdoors, nor even in a park or related public facility. All photos were shot in Origin’s own offices, in a humongous indoor garden. (And it just so happens that Origin’s headquarters was located on Wild Basin Road…)
