It’s organizations like this that help keep our community going strong. Thanks to everyone for the support!

Also included in the update is a new piece of lore concerning the Valley of Eodon, the new setting added to Ultima Online as part of the Time of Legends expansion:

The dim light from the campfire flickered against the canvass tent. In the still of night the jungle was alive with the howls of monkeys and the singing of crickets. A gentle breeze rustled the fronds of nearby palms. Even though it had been months since I’d left the Lycaeum, the jungles of Eodon still made me uneasy. I had seen such beauty in the Valley during my time here. Brilliant fauna gave Eodon character and intimacy. Meandering streams cutting through the verdant landscape made it feel alive and fertile. In the distance the towering caldera of a great volcano smoked confidently, owing to its wise past. On the surface, Eodon appeared inviting and warm, but a foreign and present danger lay hidden beneath.

Apparently, the residents of the Valley aren’t taking all that kindly to the influx of Britannian “invaders”. This is a concept that will be explored in game come the Spring, it would seem.
