Ultima IX: Salvation was an alternative version of Ultima 9 that Opera Dragon began to sketch out some years ago. It never got beyond the early planning phase, but Opera Dragon was kind enough to release what few details about his idea that he had on hand…for posterity.

The three documents available above are, in order:

1. an organizational chart of the backstory shorts that he wrote for the plot
2. one of the aforementioned shorts, about the Xenkan Monks soon after the events of Serpent Isle
3. a narration of the opening cinematic of the game that the plot would have led to.

Naturally, I’ve added a project entry, albeit in the Cemetery. Do go and check it out.
