Difference between revisions of "Exodus"

Revision as of 23:27, 22 February 2008

Exodus was a villain, the spawn of Mondain and Minax.

He was based out of Ilshenar, in a dungeon (called the Exodus Dungeon) in the central region of that facet. His meddling in the timeline of Ilshenar caused the official fiction of that facet to change. He was behind the invasions of certain cities by the Juka, together with Lord Blackthorn. Indeed, it is Exodus who is credited with "assisting" Blackthorn's transformation from philosopher of Chaos and spoiled, embittered noblement to full-fledged evil.

Exodus was never seen in-game in UO, but it was said in February 2003 by Dawn, a Royal Knight of the realm, that Exodus had greatly faded and that his power was waning in Ilsheanar, following the death of Blackthorn. (Apologies for earlier misreporting that Dawn had stated that Exodus had died.)

Ultima lore, from the single-player games, holds that Exodus was a sentient computer of some kind. The highly mechanized features of the Exodus dungeon appear to back that up to some degree.

-In Ultima Online, the plotline was similar.
-Exodus was a machine entity of some kind spawned by Minax and Mondain.  The evil machine's sins include altering the timeline of [[Ilshenar]] to upset the balance between the ancient Ilshenarian races of [[Juka]] and [[Meer]], converting Lord [[Blackthorn]] from [[Chaos]] to full-fledged evil, and, with Blackthorn, using the Juka to launch attacks against Britannia.
-According to [[Dawn]], a "[[Royal Knight]]" of the realm, Exodus died around the time of the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion, just before Blackthorn launched a doomed but destructive assault on the city of [[Yew]].
