This isn’t really a new project, except insofar as I have only just found out about it. Set in a post-Ultima 3 Sosaria that is in the midst of its transformation into Britannia, Forging Britannia is a mod — or tome, to use the game-specific term — for CrossCut Games’ Runesword. And in some respects, it serves as a prequel for Serpent Isle as well; the Ophidians feature prominently in its plot, and a certain young Monitorian by the name of Marsten — who dreams of one day becoming a Knight of the Leopard — can join your party.

Naturally, I’ve set up a project entry for it, whereat a download of the Runesword tome can be found, along with download links for Runesword proper. To install, simply download the Forging Britannia tome, above, and place it in the Runesword root folder. Runesword can be downloaded via the links above, which simply point to the downloads available at the game’s official website.

The good Mr. Tengelin has also made available the various resources and assets that comprise the Forging Britannia tome, which can be downloaded for interested parties to use in their own Ultima-themed Runesword tomes. His website also have numerous hints and resources for Forging Britannia players to make use of.
