The Shroud of the Avatar Series Will Be Set in New Britannia
As confirmed by Richard Garriott in the most recent, story-focused dev hangout, the world in which the Shroud of the Avatar series will be set will be called New Britannia.
A bit of additional information can be found here.
And based on some comments he made during the hangout, I was able to put a couple of city names onto the map!
Beautiful.
Is it just me or does the map now bear more than a slight resemblance to Sosaria from Ultima III? Especially with the placement of Brittany.
It does.
