Ultima Online: Mondain’s Legacy Announced

Electronic Arts’ official Ultima Online website has been updated with an announcement for yet another expansion pack entitled Mondain’s Legacy. The details:

The shattering of the Gem of Immortality was the genesis of Ultima Onlineâ„¢. The shards created were perfect images of Sosaria. But with the essence of immortality seeping from the fragmented shards, the fabric of the universe began to unravel.

While mysterious guardian spirits are credited with the salvation of Sosaria, in actuality, the primal cooperative magic of the elves mended the world anew. Such an immense enterprise, weakened the fey folk significantly and they withdrew from the world and its affairs to restore themselves.

As self-proclaimed but severely drained protectors of the land, the elves watched in sorrow as plague swept through Yew and decimated the region, converting it to a foul swampland. Isolated and safe, the elves waited until the time was right to come forth again into the world…

… that time is nearly upon us.
