Catskills:Umbra

{{tocright}}
=Description=
The city of [[Umbra]] is the land of the Necromancers and those that practice the art of controlling the dead. On the Catskills shard, the city of Umbra has been the focus of many events that have tied into main arcs. It has also have several claimants and known residents. Currently the city is the main territory of The Children of Darkness guild both in character and physically as they retain most of the real estate in the surrounding areas.

==The Great Burning of Umbra==
This storyline precedes the claiming of the city by the Children of Darkness. The horrors that the city suffered at the hands of LICH, who enslaved its people and turned many of them into undead, sacrificing hundreds to their rituals, left Umbra is complete ruins after burning it to the ground. The place was deserted and no one dared to visit. Known as the City of the Dead by many, it was our endeavor to rid the the land of the notion that all undead are inherently evil. For the people, we found, did not wish to engage in evil practices despite the afflictions that had been forced upon them. It is our belief that Necromancy is just a magical spell line, no different than any other. It is in the wielder of the magic that evil lies, not the chosen magic that is used.

The '''Sands of Sosaria''' was one of the gift items from the [[15th Anniversary]] gift bag. It is an hourglass that, when double-clicked, displays a manuscript about an historic event from one of the 16 years in UO's history (1997 - 2012).

==Manuscripts==
Each manuscript begins with the text:
:''Sands of Sosaria{{Line Break}}By [[Malachi]] the Archivist''

It then goes on to name a [[Britannia]]n year that fell within the featured Earth year, and briefly describes an important historical event that took place at that time.

===1997===
''"Britannia Year 289"''

''"[[Mondain]] murdered his father and twisted his family's Sun Ruby into the [[Gem of Immortality]]. Using this power, Mondain sent armies to the ends of [[Sosaria]] to conquer everything. The Stranger's sword smashed the dark gem, killing Mondain and shattering the world into different shards. "''

===1998===
''"Britannia Year 294"''

''"The leaders of the [[Followers of Armageddon]], Martoo Saul, Junin Pince, Zendella Kxriss, and Miron Vehl, bargained with wisps to learn the [[Armageddon]] spell and worked in secret to collect enough [[blackrock]] to cast it. Their conspiracy of terror resulted in the death of many innocents, but eventually the group's leaders were captured and executed. "''

===1999===
''"Britannia Year 299"''

''"The Followers of Armageddon unsuccessfully cast the [[Armageddon]] Spell, but the magic unleashed resulted in earthquakes and tremors that opened entrances to a mysterious land. These Lost Lands were explored by [[Crawworth]] during the first Britannian expedition. However, the unsuspecting humans were thrown into an ancient struggle between the [[Terathan]]s and [[Ophidian]]s. The dangers of the land proved too great, and Crawworth lost his life at the start of the second age. "''

===2000===
''"Britannia Year 304"''

''"Empowered by stone monuments built in the eight [[Virtue]] cities, the wizard [[Nystul]] cast an ancient spell, using the blue moon of [[Trammel]] to create a new facet of [[Britannia]]. The people of Britannia fled to this new land to escape the armies of [[Minax]]. Spells woven into the matrix of this new facet of Trammel protected its people from certain dangers. "''

===2001===
''"Britannia Year 309"''

''"The [[facet]] of [[Ilshenar]] was rediscovered. Ilshenar had been cut off from the rest of Sosaria after the destruction of the [[Gem of Immortality]]. The land was originally settled by people known as the Anskitas. Their civilization fell into ruin long before Britannians began to explore these lands of danger and despair. "''

===2002===
''"Britannia Year 314"''

''"The being [[Exodus]] tore the [[Juka]] through time to be its army against Britannia. The [[Meer]] went to sleep only to wake with the return of their old enemy. Exodus's plans required a controllable human leader and a subjugated gargoyle people. These plans failed when Exodus mysteriously disappeared, leaving the Juka and [[Blackthorn]] to face defeat."''

===2003===
''"Britannia Year 319"''

''"The dark facet of [[Malas]] was discovered, a land crumbling into a sea of stars. The lore of [[Chivalry]] and [[Necromancy]] were discovered in the rival cities of [[Luna]] and [[Umbra]]. Many lost their lives in expeditions to the ancient and terrible dungeon of [[Doom]]. "''

===2004===
''"Britannia Year 324"''

''"Britannians discovered the way to [[Tokuno]] and began exploring its many islands. This facet is ruled by the Empress from her capital of [[Zento]]. Warriors from Britannia learned new martial skills from the samurai and ninjas of these feudal islands. "''

===2005===
''"Britannia Year 329"''

''"In the center of [[Yew]], the [[Heartwood]] was reconnected to Sosaria. The Heartwood is the ancestral [[elf]] home, severed from the world when the Gem of Immortality was shattered. With the return of the elven people, their blood was reawakened in humans with elven ancestors. "''

===2006===
''"Britannia Year 334"''

''"The legendary thief [[Ricardo]] stole the artificed scion from the [[Ophidian]]s. This resulted in Ophidian attacks on [[Papua]] and [[Vesper]]. While the attacks were repelled, Ricardo was placed on trial and found guilty. [[Inu the Crone]] appeared with cryptic warnings about a troubled future. "''

===2007===
''"Britannia Year 339"''

''"A dark gate opened, and an army of demons [[Magincia Invasion|invaded the prideful island]] of [[Magincia]]. While the demons were eventually defeated, Magincia's buildings were reduced to rubble, and the isle remained cursed and blighted. The strange figures were seen near the dark gate as the final [[Daemon Berserker|demon berserkers]] were killed."''

===2008===
''"Britannia Year 344"''

''"The Mad Mage [[Kronos]] activated what he believed to be a [[blackrock]] detector. It instead tore a hole into the [[Ethereal Void]], allowing the [[Shadowlords]] entry to our world. The Shadowlords wasted no time in causing upheaval, murdering the Royal Council and inviting their Crimson dragon allies to strike. "''

===2009===
''"Britannia Year 349"''

''"A reformed and highly secretive [[Royal Council]] appointed the elf [[Casca]] as king pro-tempore. Casca had been corrupted by the Shadowlords; he ruled as a cruel despot. His wicked reign and the Shadowlords' plan were stopped by an army of Britannians, led by [[Dawn]] and Platinum dragon allies. The destruction of the Shadowlords resulted in a volcanic eruption on Fire Island that revealed a way into the great [[Stygian Abyss]] and the [[gargoyle]] lands of [[Ter Mur]]. "''

===2010===
''"Britannia Year 354"''

''"A renewed interest in ocean trade lead to increased activity on Sosaria's waters. Merchant and pirate ships took to the [[High Seas|high seas]], hoping to make new fortunes by trade or by plunder. Ancient sea monsters such as the [[Scalis]] rose from the depths, attracted by these fleets of ships. "''

===2011===
''"Britannia Year 359"''

''"[[Dawn]], the young warrior queen, ordered her subjects to bring the [[Crystal of Duplicity]] out of the great vault, only to lose the crystal and her life to [[Virtuebane]]. Eventually, an alliance of [[human]]s, [[gargoyle]]s, and [[Meer]] would force the demon and his army to retreat into the Void. "''

===2012===
''"Britannia Year 364"''

''"[[Chaos]] gripped the land, as fear and strife tore across [[Britannia]]. The being [[Exodus]] returned from the Void, forcing a retreat out of [[Ilshenar]] by the gargoyles of [[Ver Lor Reg]]. Returning to their ancient homeland in [[Ter Mur]], these refugees carried with them a [[The Awakening#Act VI|deadly plague]]. Only a [[Blackthorn|noble figure]] from Britannia's past was able to restore order and hope to Sosaria.''"

===2013===
''"Britannia Year 369"''

===2014===

Catskills:Vamp's Lair

2014-12-28T00:15:10Z

Pandora CoD: /* Establishments */

{{tocright}}
The [[Children of Darkness]] owns a series of establishments open to ALL Catskills players as part of the city called, Vamp’s Lair or just simply "The Lair" found west of the city of Umbra. We ask that all folks just be respectful and mind other visitors. Below are the rules for all players visiting CoD’s primary city — Vamp’s Lair, often referred to as just "the Lair".{{Line Break}}

==Premise Rules==
1) No PvP is allowed while in the buildings, unless it is part of the RP.{{Line Break}}
2) CoD members MUST remain ‘in masquerade’ at all times when mortals are present.{{Line Break}}
3) No player can "sense" or otherwise absolutely know for certain that we are supernatural, unless shown to be so. If you traditionally RP a "sense undead" character, we respectfully ask that you do not use it around our members.{{Line Break}}
4) Events do have targeted audiences, please follow the rules for each listed event held within the buildings. {{Line Break}}
5) If an event is for RP’ers only, non-RP’ers that seek to disrupt such events will be temporarily banned. If you do not normally RP and run into RP'ers, please try to keep it cordial.{{Line Break}}
7) All visitors and citizens should be friendly towards one another, unless it is part of the RP.{{Line Break}}
8) These are CoD-owned buildings, thus CoD players have the right to govern the buildings and events held within them accordingly.{{Line Break}}

==Establishments==
(1) [[Catskills:Britain Public Library of Umbra|Britain Public Library of Umbra]] - The library of the city, a satelitte member of the Britain Public Library, featuring the stories of the Children of Darkness of Catskills, in all forms, as well as the histories and encounters with other wordly beings

(2) [[Catskills:The Millennium Nightclub|The Millennium Nightclub]] — one of the main focal points of the city is the nightclub known as the “Millennium”. Once a month on a Friday we hold “LADIES NIGHT” where ladies get in free and drink free all night. Each month there is a special feature so look for that on our Events Calendar.

(3) [[Catskills:The Church of the Sun|The Church of the Sun]] — Vamp’s Lair main center is the Church. Featuring an actual, functioning church this establishment is mostly used for weddings, parties, and other social events.

(4) [[Catskills:The Reprieve for Resting Souls|The Reprieve for Resting Souls]] — Vamp’s Lair has a graveyard for its fallen members. The myth that vampires cannot be killed is just that… a myth.

You will find a small diner on the second floor, where Chef Olin can make you a perfect meal. There is also a guest room with a bathroom should you find you had a wee bit too much fun the evening prior.

(7) [[Catskills:The Dark Tower|The Dark Tower]] — CoD’s official headquarters is the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower features a nice, cozy reception area and also has several rooms that are private offices and meeting rooms for the guild’s members. It is also the single point of entrance to the underground housing system that we call the Catacombs (fictional).

(8) [[Catskills:Villa Vizcaya|Villa Vizcaya]] - The private residence of High Council Member of the Children of Darkness, Baron Armand de Romanus and his wife the Baroness Merida Douglas Romanus.

Catskills:Vamp's Lair

2014-12-28T00:11:52Z

Pandora CoD: /* Premise Rules */

{{tocright}}
The [[Children of Darkness]] owns a series of establishments open to ALL Catskills players as part of the city called, Vamp’s Lair or just simply "The Lair" found west of the city of Umbra. We ask that all folks just be respectful and mind other visitors. Below are the rules for all players visiting CoD’s primary city — Vamp’s Lair, often referred to as just "the Lair".{{Line Break}}

==Premise Rules==
1) No PvP is allowed while in the buildings, unless it is part of the RP.{{Line Break}}
2) CoD members MUST remain ‘in masquerade’ at all times when mortals are present.
3) No player can "sense" or otherwise absolutely know for certain that we are downworlders, unless shown to be so. If you traditionally RP a "sense undead" character, we respectfully ask that you do not use it around our members.{{Line Break}}
4) Events do have targeted audiences, please follow the rules for each listed event held within the buildings. {{Line Break}}
5) If an event is for RP’ers only, non-RP’ers that seek to disrupt such events will be temporarily banned. If you do not normally RP and run into RP'ers, please try to keep it cordial.{{Line Break}}
7) All visitors and citizens should be friendly towards one another, unless it is part of the RP.{{Line Break}}
8) These are CoD-owned buildings, thus CoD players have the right to govern the buildings and events held within them accordingly.{{Line Break}}

==Establishments==
(1) [[Catskills:Romanus Manor|Romanus Manor]] - The private residence of the leaders of the Children of Darkness, Count/Earl Marius de Romanus and Countess Pandora de Romanus.

(2) [[Catskills:The Millennium Nightclub|The Millennium Nightclub]] — one of the main focal points of the city is the nightclub known as the “Millennium”. Once a month on a Friday we hold “LADIES NIGHT” where ladies get in free and drink free all night. Each month there is a special feature so look for that on our Events Calendar.

(3) [[Catskills:The Church of the Sun|The Church of the Sun]] — Vamp’s Lair main center is the Church. Featuring an actual, functioning church this establishment is mostly used for weddings, parties, and other social events. Do not forget to visit the Bridal Room on the first floor for all our wedding attire changing needs. The Church also boasts a reception hall, called the Hall of Dreams, as well as a beautiful rooftop garden — where you could have a garden-style wedding.

(4) [[Catskills:The Reprieve for Resting Souls|The Reprieve for Resting Souls]] — Vamp’s Lair has a graveyard for its fallen members. The myth that vampires cannot be killed is just that… a myth. Vampires often die to their own wills, and can be killed by other vampires in what is known as a “blood hunt”, by rival sects or even by order of the leaders of their own. This reprieve was made to honor those that the Children of Darkness considered to be “gone too soon”.

(5) [[Catskills:Britain Public Library of Umbra & Haven House|Britain Public Library of Umbra & Haven House]] — A library collection featuring the stories of the Children of Darkness of Catskills, in all forms, as well as the histories and encounters with other wordly beings. There is also the charming inn called Haven House, which rents rooms to visitors of the city.

(6) [[Catskills:The Bloody Brew|The Bloody Brew]] — A small, quaint little tavern that is great to just kick up the feet and relax, and mingle with other guests. The Bloody Brew is the perfect place to discuss politics, drain your sorrows, or vent your anger. Edwin, our tavernkeep, seems to be there 24/7, a complete workaholic. We can’t get him to go home! You will find a small diner on the second floor, where Chef Olin can make you a perfect meal. There is also a guest room with a bathroom should you find you had a wee bit too much fun the evening prior.

(7) [[Catskills:The Dark Tower|The Dark Tower]] — CoD’s official headquarters is the Dark Tower. The Dark Tower features a nice, cozy reception area and also has several rooms that are private offices and meeting rooms for the guild’s members. It is also the single point of entrance to the underground housing system that we call the Catacombs (fictional).

(8) [[Catskills:Villa Vizcaya|Villa Vizcaya]] - The private residence of High Council Member of the Children of Darkness, Baron Armand de Romanus and his wife the Baroness Merida Douglas Romanus.

(9) [[Catskills:A Thousand Ways Park|A Thousand Ways Park]] - The teleporter house that leads to other known territories under the Romanus' Family holdings.

(10) [[Catskills:The Gateway Park|The Gateway Park]] - The teleporter house right on Umbra Street, before the mountain pass, that will take passerby visitors to the city of Vamp's Lair (linked to A Thousand Ways Park), to the city of West Umbra (linked to The Cityscape Park), as well as the city of East Britain (linked to Cindervale Square).

|status=Open
}}
* '''Roleplay:''' Required

==Description==
As you first walk into the building, you find yourself in the tavern, more often than not staffed by Edwin McCormick. Be sure to say hello. Here you can take a stool and order up a fresh mug of our finest collection of worldly ales, liquors, and brews. We famously house our own private labels --- Pandora's Perfect Pinot Noir (Red Wine) and Lair's Red Mist (Red Wine Spritzer). We also are surely to stock some of the land's best known labels such as Olympus Rum and Aegis Brandy. Some of our lesser known items on the menu hail from a collection crafted by our half-breeds skilled in Mixology... but that's a secret you would never know. Many come on Thursday evenings from far and away places to enjoy their time at the Brew.

==Layout==
===1st Floor: Tavern ===
The Tavern Bar is located on the first floor of the building. Outside is a small stable for your mounts and pets to happily feed and drink from the trough, as no mounts or pets are allowed on premises. Just outside there is a teleporter that will take you to the Trade Center, just outside of Umbra.

===2nd Floor: Distillery ===
The Distillery is where our Mixologists and Brewhands carefully craft our house labels. Open only to those with a key, the distillery offers a tasting room for special guests.

===3rd Floor: Inn===
Should any of our guests be too affected by our selections, they are offered a stay in our small, quaint inn, which features a guest bathroom.

===4th Floor: Rooftop Lounge===
The rooftop lounge is one of our favorite places to relax and have more private conversations. You and your beloved can sit under the stars in a much more intimate setting.

== Neighboorhood ==
The Bloody Brew is located in the heart of our player-ran city, [[Catskills:Vamp's Lair|Vamp's Lair]] (known publicly as just The Lair), a player-ran city owned and operated by the [[Children of Darkness]] guild. It is building number 6 in our overhead diagram to the right. The other buildings surrounding the Brew, as its affectionately called, are: The City Court and Jail, The Encyclopedia Britannia, The Millennium Nightclub, The Church of the Sun, the Reprieve for Resting Souls, and the guild's headquarters, The Dark Tower. Vamp's Lair is conviniently located in the abandoned orc fort just east of the Malas Mountain Pass, a short distance from the city of Umbra.

== History ==
The Bloody Brew Tavern was erected on July 16th, 2010 (a resurrection from the previously known tavern in Felucca that had been erected on December 20th, 1997 in the Vamp's Lair city of Felucca). We named the tavern in honor of one of our members, Pleb --- who hails from the U.K. --- and we make him say "Bloody Hell" in Ventrilo; a small price to pay (hehe). The original tavern was on the first floor of our Vamp's Lair "castle mall" in East Britain on Felucca, before Trammel ever existed, so it did not have its own name, it was just part of the castle. The Children of Darkness resettled in Sosaria (after an 8 year hiatus, playing other MMO's) on January 2010 and worked on acquiring the land to rebuild their famed city, once again. Finally the tavern could have its own building, thus would have its own name.

== Days of Operation ==
Thursdays, 9 PM to 11 PM EST --- Open to all RP'ers of the shard serving a wide variety of imported liquors as well as Olympus Rum, Aegis Brandy, and our own private labels --- Pandora's Perfect Pinot Noir and Lair's Red Mist. Vampires can order speciality brews, mixed by our half-breeds with their talent "Mixology", that contain a variety of blood pathogens from different sources --- from dark elves to the rare AB- typed blood imported from Earth.

== Staff ==
Edwin McCormick is the resident tavern manager. He is very friendly and very intelligent with an astute business sense. He has been with the coven for over 200 years now, having been born in the city of Devonshire, England back on Earth and made a vampire by a rogue sire that left him on his own. His apparent age is that of a man in his late 30's or early 40's, fair skin with blonde hair and sharp blue eyes, very fit and toned build. Nothing about him screams "vampire" and he has accustomed his palette quite well to many drinks and even some food. His tolerance of such things helps to keep his true nature hidden very well. In fact, even vampires have a hard time pegging him for one of their own.

He has had many lovers throughout the centuries, but keeps to the company of men preferably. He's a shameless flirt, however, so do not be surprised to see him hit on some of the more prominent, handsome male visitors to his bars, much to the detriment of Gabe the barkeep at the Bloody Brew. Being tall and handsome himself, not to mention the sound of his British accent, it is also not surprising to see visitors hit on him as well, although the females might face a harsh rebuttal.

He is grateful to the leaders of the Romanus Family for the teachings that they have provided those that they bring into the family and is fiercely loyal to them. He maintains the Bloody Brew open the other nights of the week for any would-be traveler. He employs the other staff members and runs an entire chain of taverns throughout the Kingdom, all owned by Romanus Holdings, Inc.

== Masquearade ==
All of our vampires, half-breeds, and lycans are under the complete facade of the masquerade (hidden from true view). No player can "sense" or otherwise absolutely know for certain that we are downworlders, unless shown to be so.

Royal Britannian Guard

2014-08-24T15:46:08Z

Pandora CoD: /* Well Known Chapters */

[[File:193349-lord_british_large.jpg|frame|right]]
== History ==
Every kingdom needs its lead warriors, its Knights, to guard the rulers and defeat enemies of the state on the field of battle. Britannia's Knights were initially known as the [[Order of the Silver Serpent]]. The Order of the Silver Serpent was a monastic order, sworn to protect the King of Britannia, Lord British. They were often seen as the closest and most deviant protectors of the crown. The order was also featured in the single-player Ultima games. Their derived their name from the Silver Serpent, the symbol of the realm.

The Order was often found in Ultima Prime, the single-player games upon which UO is based. Known members included Geoffrey and Dupre. The Order was traditionally housed, and trained, in Serpent's Hold. Eventually, for reasons that were never quite clear (though there were hints that it was some kind of copyright issue), the Order's name had to be changed to the Royal Knights. Eventually it was called the Royal Britannian Guard.

On some Shards, the Order of the Silver Serpent is a player Guild that seeks to carry on the tradition.

== Player Ran Theme ==
The Royal Britannian Guard (RBG) is a multi-shard role playing theme. The structure is different from server to server, but it is EM sponsored and managed much in the same way.

Time

2014-07-24T15:35:18Z

Pandora CoD:

The concept of '''Time''' in Sosaria is much the same as on Earth. Each day is divided into 24 hours, although daylight lasts much longer, roughly 18 hours per day, from 6 AM until midnight. In terms of time comparison, one Sosarian day equates to two Earth hours, or twelve Sosarian days in one Earth day.

However, for simplicity's sake, almost without exception, when events, item effects or other time periods are mentioned, even by NPC's, they typically refer to Earth time. For example, an NPC [[Escort]] might say you must wait five minutes before being able to undertake the quest to escort them, they really mean five ''Earth'' minutes.

Generally, few if any players pay any attention to Sosarian time. This is only exacerbated by the fact that most everyone wears items imparting [[Night Sight (property)|Night Sight]] abilities, so the passing of days and nights goes unnoticed by them.

Time in Sosaria also mimics Earth in another fashion, namely timezones. It may be night time in one portion of Sosaria while it is daylight elsewhere. The time changes slightly if you cross a [[Server line]] as each region has it's own time of day.

Finding out the time of day can be done by using a [[Clock]], [[Holiday Timepiece]] or asking any NPC by saying their name and ''time''. Using the first two items will give you the exact time, while an NPC will merely tell you the last hour that has passed, even though it could be just a minute until the next hour.

Knowing the time of day was helpful in the early days of Ultima Online as it governed the progression of phases of the moons [[Trammel]] and [[Felucca]]. This in turn determined where a particular [[Moongate]] would take you. This is partly why the Holiday Timepiece was considered a useful [[Holiday 1999]] gift. These days, you can choose to take any moongate to pretty much any other one at will.

Here are some facts relating to time in Ultima Online:{{Line Break}}

» Time in Britannia passes quickly compared to our Earth time.{{Line Break}}
» In 2 Earth hours an entire Britannian day will have passed.{{Line Break}}
» Twelve Britannian days makes one Earth day.{{Line Break}}
» Just as on Earth, a Britannian year has twelve months.{{Line Break}}
» Each Britannian month, however, consists of 73 days.{{Line Break}}
» This makes a Britannian year last 876 Britannian days, which is 73 Earth days.{{Line Break}}
» One Earth year equals five Britannian years.{{Line Break}}
» The release date of Ultima Online was in the Britannian year 289.{{Line Break}}

Corgul the Soulbinder

2014-05-03T07:08:15Z

Pandora CoD:

{{tocright}}
[[Image:Corgul_the_soulbinder.png|right|frame]]
'''Corgul the Soulbinder''' is one of two boss-level monsters introduced with the [[High Seas]] expansion and is found on a floating island. He was the second monster revealed with the High Seas expansion.

Corgul appears as a black [[Titan]], and hits heavily with both melee and spells. Corgul the Soulbinder has a tainted life force aura similar to Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer which will cause life leech item options/skill(i.e [[Vampiric Embrace]]) to work in the opposite way. Players will experience life decrease rather than healing effect that would be normally expected. Corgul continously returns to its original position after a certain amount of time. Additional Soulbound Pirates will spawn once the battle starts about 3-5 times, then Corgul will fight alone.

The [[Corgul the Soulbinder#Player Contributed Lore|background and history section]] below is provided by '''[[User:Pandora_CoD|Lady Pandora]]''' of the [[Catskills]] shard and is free to use in any role playing theme or plotline.

[[Image:Corgul_sacrifical_brazier.jpg|thumb|The sacrificial brazier]]
[[Image:Corgul_island.png|thumb|Island of the Soulbinder]]
==Locating==
Corgul resides on a mysterious moving island. To reach him, you must first go to the exit of the second level of dungeon [[Covetous]] and sacrifice a used or unused [[Treasure Map]] as well as a World Map (NPC bought or [[Cartography#Craftables|player-crafted]]). Upon sacrificing the items, a new map will be placed in your backpack with the location of the [[Island of the Soulbinder]] where Corgul roams. Your hit points will also be reduced to 1 as a blood cost. Be careful not to die to any monsters before you can heal up. All party members must have the High Seas expansion and the party must approach the island on one of the High Seas [[Galleon|boat types]] or the island will not be accessible.

Take the map and get on a ship. You can either sail to the location manually or drop the map on a tillerman, say "start" and he will sail the ship for you.

After you reach the destination, move further forward to reach to a remote island. Corgul the Soulbinder is waiting here and guarded by:

* [[Bound Soul]]s
* [[Brigand]]s
* [[Soulbound Apprentice Mage]]s
* [[Soulbound Battle Mage]]s
* [[Soulbound Pirate Captain]]s
* [[Soulbound Pirate Raider]]s
* [[Soulbound Spell Slinger]]s

In a battle against 7, he took 4 of them with him to the grave. Highly decorated, admired, and revered by his fellow citizens of Britain, his death was grieved by the entire land. But Britannians had taken solace in knowing that he had died a glorious death, one that every knight hopes for, serving his countrymen. Given the traditional knight's burial, his family was presented with his sword and shield by Lord British as the streets of Britain were lined with delicate flowers and all the flags in the kingdom were lowered.

But for Ilhenir's family, the loss of their only son was too much to bare. Nothing could quench their mourning. Having much wealth, they sought to have Ilhenir returned to them in any way possible. There had been rumors that the city of Umbra had knowledgeable persons that may be able to help them in their quest. The pain felt by Ilhenir's mother only served to fuel his father's decision to seek the assistance of studied necromancers in a secret scholastic institution named [[Bedlam]], which resided hidden somewhere in [[Umbra]].

===Bedlam in Umbra===
[[Necromancy]] was wicked and very powerful. Those that had wielded its dark magic had used it to further the evils of the world; it was not a good art to practice. But now, it had been lost and gone unused for many moons. The citizens of Umbra had stumbled upon it and the mages and theurgists of Umbra decided to try to study and learn its dark ways. Thus they established Bedlam, underground. Hidden away from the sight of common folk, they were able to summon undead, raise the dead, and shape shift without much notice. A portal was built in the Bloodletter's Guild that would allow admission to Bedlam, with of course the proper papers. Soon those that learned whatever old, dusty books would teach them eventually became professors in Bedlam, teaching others. They practiced on small animals; goats and hinds and sheep, but never on humans. They sought to bring necromancy back as a practiced art, but had no intentions of using it for evil doings.

===Resurrection Gone Bad===
Ilhenir's family sought entrance into the hidden underground bowels of Umbra and in their quest they met an interesting young lady named [[Aernya the Mistress of Admissions]]. She allowed their entrance and introduced them to [[Master Gnosos the Necromancer]], who heads the program. When they explained their grief and how terrible life had been for them after Ilhenir's death, Gnosos went back to the other masters ([[Master Jonath]], [[Master Theophilus]], [[Master Mikael]]) to tell them of the struggles of this family. Gnosos was torn between wanting to test the craft he had practiced all his life and knowing all that could go wrong. Gnosos decided to decline the family's request.

However, the other masters were simply too eager to see just how far their teachings had come. They approached the family and collectively agreed to try to cast the "Raise Dead" spell on Ilhenir's now decaying body. Gnosos was none too happy to hear of his colleagues agreement to such a spell. Sure, they had cast that very spell on many of the dead animals and it had gone fairly well, but to do this on a human could turn out much differently. Master Theophilus told the family the ingredients they would have to get, which seemed pretty rare to attain, and that they would need a few items that were personal to Ilhenir himself. The family returned to Britain. There they had Ilhenir's body exhumed, what was left of it. Ilhenir's mother was shocked right back into her deep grief at the site of her son's adorned Royal Guard coffin. Tortured by the sounds of her wailing cries, his father packed it up and had it sent to Umbra via carriage. Ilhenir's parents accompanied the cargo wagon carrying with them the ingredients required as well as their son's shield and sword; the trip spanned several days.

Exhausted yet eager, the couple re-entered Bedlam, again with the assistance of Aernya. Gnosos warned them of all the possibilities that could happen and that they couldn't guarantee that their son would come back to them whole, as they had remembered him. Arguing ensued between Gnosos and the other masters, but in the end, out of sheer curiosity if nothing more Gnosos agreed to help his comrades. The four set out to do what had not been done in the field of Necromancy for well over a thousand years.

Unfortunately, Gnosos predictions proved right. After several weeks of unsuccessful attempts, they were able to resurrect Ilhenir. But the result was certainly not at all what had been expected. Ilhenir rose, mind intact, but disfigured and maimed. He was now unrecognizable --- part human, part beast, part monster.

===Rage and Wrath===
As Ilhenir started to comprehend what he was seeing before the mirror of the underground cavern he occupied minutes after his resurrection, his parents made their way to him. Ilhenir, in aguish, turned his parents away when they came to see him. His mother carefully knocked on the door of the room. Ilhenir let out protests that seemed to shake the very foundation of the underground university, "LOOK! Look at your son, now... is this what you wanted?!?" The screams were taken from her quivering mouth, as tears rolled down her face. At this Ilhenir's tone lowered. "I cannot live like this, I've had my righteous death. I want it back!" His mother, now with a bowed head as tears continued to flow from her amber eyes said, "I loved you too much. Your father you must not blame for this, it was all my doing." Ilhenir made his way to a chair nearby, sat down and said, "As you can see, love can be both a blessing and a curse. You will leave this place, or be buried in it."

Her instict was to run to him, wrap him in her arms as she had done so many years prior and tell him that her love knows no bounds, and she would love him just the same. But she did not. She turned on her heel and left. As the door shut behind her, whatever Ilhenir had felt for his parents left him and never returned.

As the masters of the university scurried above the room where Ilhenir stayed, they asked his father, "Lord, are thou going to take the lad with you?" The old man took out a 100 gold pieces and extended it out to Theophilus, "There is no place for him among our world above." Theophilus took the coin, returned the sword and shield, and watch as Ilhenir's parents washed their hands off of him. Theophilus felt pity for the young knight, it was his guess that he would be confined to the walls of this institution.

Gnosos sat in his study, contemplating. Theophilus walked in and told him of the actions the parents had taken, dropping the bag of coins on Gnosos desk. "Surely, you do not intend for us to hold this creature here?" Gnosos said. "Where would we send him?" Theophilus argued. "Perhaps, we could send him back to Valhalla, where he should have stayed." Gnosos said. "Maybe I could talk with him, does he even know what powers he has?" Theophilus asked. "I would doubt it." Gnosos stated.

Just then, they felt the earth shake beneath them. As the floor caved inward, Ilhenir rose. He went for Theophilus first... grabbing him and tearing his body into several pieces as blood spattered across the walls of Gnosos' study. Blood, Ilhenir learned, fed his power. He felt it tingle inside him, as it ran through his dried veins. Gnosos screamed, as Mikael and Jonath burst through the room. Gnosos was frozen in place by fear. Ilhenir quickly dispatched the two other masters that had assisted his resurrection. He turned to Gnosos...

"And you," he pointed to Gonosos, "for you I have a plan. You will teach me all that you know of this art and my powers will be fed by those that you trick to come here!" Ilhenir's voice boomed. Gnosos asked in a low voice, "And if I do not assist thee?" Ilhenir smiled and said, "Then I will find my way to Umbra, and then beyond, and I will destroy everything in my path." Gnosos knew, for the sake of his family and the people of Sosaria, he could not allow him passage through that portal. So he condemned himself to live within Bedlam, and keep this monster away from the light of the world above him.

===The Blood Pact===
That night Ilhenir took out all his rage on the other professors, as well as any students that were present. Gnosos could only watch in horror. With more blood, came more power. Ilhenir knew something was stirring in him. Gnosos took notice and stuck a deal with Ilhenir... "I shall continue to bring you living blood and teach you the art of Necromancy, but you must do something in return." Ilhenir turned to Gnosos, interested. "And what would that be?" Gnosos knew he had no choice, "You remain the rest of your days as the ruler of Bedlam, and you keep to your domain." Ilhenir paced. "Fair enough," said the once brave and valiant knight.

Gnosos managed to send a letter to Aernya, telling her of the events that have unfolded and ordering the portal to Bedlam be sealed for all time. The only ones that may enter are any of those that seek to have their tuition reimbursed and instructed her as to how that might be done. And while Aernya knows that any that manage to go into Bedlam may not return. She considers this an acceptable alternative to having Ilhenir roam through Sosaria, taking his vengeance on all that live within it.

Gnosos kept his promise, he taught Ilhenir the art of Necromancy. With it he managed to use the same spell that was cast on him, on those he had took his revenge on --- the professors, the students, the staff --- of Bedlam. Ilhenir was surrounded by those like him, undead. He had full control of Bedlam and all that entered its walls were consumed, so the inhabitants of his world kept growing in numbers. Soon, he was impenetrable. As time passed, he found his arrangement quite suitable and was more than content staying within the walls of Bedlam, where the look of disgust and fear humans would give him would not touch him. The wretch of his domain cared not for his looks.

But, as with anything that cannot die, time is Ilhenir's greatest enemy. The second being, boredom. How long will ruling Bedlam keep his interests?

Corgul the Soulbinder

2014-05-03T07:01:55Z

Pandora CoD:

{{tocright}}
[[Image:Corgul_the_soulbinder.png|right|frame]]
'''Corgul the Soulbinder''' is one of two boss-level monsters introduced with the [[High Seas]] expansion and is found on a floating island. He was the second monster revealed with the High Seas expansion.

Corgul appears as a black [[Titan]], and hits heavily with both melee and spells. Corgul the Soulbinder has a tainted life force aura similar to Osiredon the Scalis Enforcer which will cause life leech item options/skill(i.e [[Vampiric Embrace]]) to work in the opposite way. Players will experience life decrease rather than healing effect that would be normally expected. Corgul continously returns to its original position after a certain amount of time. Additional Soulbound Pirates will spawn once the battle starts about 3-5 times, then Corgul will fight alone.

The [[Corgul the Soulbinder#Charting the Worlds|background and history section]] below is provided by '''[[User:Pandora_CoD|Lady Pandora]]''' of the [[Catskills]] shard and is free to use in any role playing theme or plotline.

[[Image:Corgul_sacrifical_brazier.jpg|thumb|The sacrificial brazier]]
[[Image:Corgul_island.png|thumb|Island of the Soulbinder]]
==Locating==
Corgul resides on a mysterious moving island. To reach him, you must first go to the exit of the second level of dungeon [[Covetous]] and sacrifice a used or unused [[Treasure Map]] as well as a World Map (NPC bought or [[Cartography#Craftables|player-crafted]]). Upon sacrificing the items, a new map will be placed in your backpack with the location of the [[Island of the Soulbinder]] where Corgul roams. Your hit points will also be reduced to 1 as a blood cost. Be careful not to die to any monsters before you can heal up. All party members must have the High Seas expansion and the party must approach the island on one of the High Seas [[Galleon|boat types]] or the island will not be accessible.

Take the map and get on a ship. You can either sail to the location manually or drop the map on a tillerman, say "start" and he will sail the ship for you.

After you reach the destination, move further forward to reach to a remote island. Corgul the Soulbinder is waiting here and guarded by:

==About Us==
The Children of Darkness is vampiric-based guild that was created on the first day of release of the Catskills shard in Ultima Online and made officially a guild on October 17th, 1997, however many of us were part of the beta from January 1997 and spent a small amount of time on Atlantic prior to Catskills birth. The Guildmasters are Pandora and Marius that role play as ancient vampires.

===History===
We later decided to create an Evil RP theme that players could sign up to join and be part of. We needed a well recognized start, so we chose to base it on Vampire the Masquerade. So we looked at all the content that was available out there on VTM, and we chose to write our own story. So if you are well versed in the land of VTM lore, you will notice quite a few changes and differences that we deemed necessary in order to adapt it to Ultima Online. CoD was a Ventrue coven, leader of the Camarilla. Following the characteristics of Ventrue clans, they were highly aristocratic, very wealthy, and politically inclined. They would war any Sabbat sect guilds since the two sects were rival, mortal enemies. Often they would take over their player-ran cities in large-scale RP wars that would go on for hours. During 1998 - 2001, CoD actively ran and organized an Evil RP theme known as the Darkness Within based their adapted VTM lore. Over 90 guilds were participants in plots, storylines, or theme wars with the DW theme, officially making CoD one of the largest vampire-themed guilds in the history of the shard. At its height, CoD achieved nearly 200 players, all with various characters.

===Current Game Play===
Today, CoD has returned to UO to rebuild the guild and the city. We have adapated the vampiric lore of Anne Rice to mold and structure our guild and the characters within it. Our angle is that we were summoned back to Sosaria by mortals because events that led up to the partial destruction of Umbra. We have helped in its reconstruction and are eager to continue to develop the town's merchant aspirations and assist against evil undead that may threaten the citizens of Sosaria that mortals simply have limited power against. So yes, in essence we're good vampires.

We're a bunch of dedicated players that have stuck with one another for many many years and those that are still with us, all 22 of us, met here in UO. Our strength is our ability to write amazing storylines and quests and its one strength we're working very hard on. Our famous quest series, known as the "Quest of the Damned", has already written quite a lot contributing to the shard's history. Our first quest for the year is called "Bedlam Stirs" which saw the dreaded Ilhenir the Stained resurface from the bowels of Bedlam to join forces with Ix Tab, a current EM-promoted storyline.

Currently, CoD is working with the rest of the RP Community in building a new, never-before-seen, RP Theme based on the logic behind Order vs. Chaos. This is much more than just your good vs. evil theory; as CoD itself would be primarily an Order guild. Just because you have evil tendencies does not mean you do not abide by a code of order, and just because you are good doesn't mean you are willing to go along with some set of pre-ordained laws. The theme will have storyline-driven PvP, with larger scale battles that pin Order vs. Chaos guilds in pre-determined areas (cities, dungeons, player-towns, open sea, etc. etc. whatever we all decide) in an effort to bring back the good old days of guild wars which were so much a part of UO. Our main goal is really to bring the community together, those that have respect for each other, and present something that any new or returning player can participate in as well as give Catskills something unique and of their own.

CoD is also working on restablishing its long-famous PvP Tournament events, such as the famous Catskills PvP Ladder and many other events for the PvP community. We've always maintained great relationships with the non-RP PvP'ers in our history, heck our mall catered to them, and we'd love to rebuild those relationships.

==Vamp's Lair==

===Historical City===
CoD's major city was found just outside of East Britain, called Vamp's Lair. Keeping the masquerade, they set up shop and owned one of two public open castles. CoD turned this castle into a mall of vendors that serviced anyone that would keep the peace while in their confines of their city. This resonated with the locals, as East Britain was home to some of the less scrupulous. Murderer, or "red", characters often shopped for their goods at the castle and would for the most part keep the fights on the outside of the walls. This opened a whole new market for them, as the other public mall did not allow reds to openly shop there. Aware of their customer base, they made good use of it by hosting PvP-based events and tournaments that garnished much recognition.

===Current City===
[[Image:Vampslair uoc.jpg|thumb|left|Vamp's Lair Location in Malas]]
Vamp's Lair of today boasts an amazing location in the Malas moon. We have taken over the old abandonned orc fort just east of the main mountain range between Luna and Umbra. We boast 7 buildings in this area, with 4 buildings residing steps from the West Bridge Gate of the city of Umbra, and our old Felucca tower for a total of 14 player-owned. We have recently recaptured our old guild tower at the Spirit Shrine in Felucca, the Death Tower, which will be our PvP Events Center, featuring a Bag Ball Stadium and a Competition Stadium.

==West Umbra==
The Children of Darkness has added to their territories several new buildings that effectively expand the city of [[Catskills:Umbra|Umbra]] into what we call West Umbra. Included in this territory is the role playing "Market" called [[Catskills:Trade_Center_of_Umbra|The Trade Center of Umbra]] and The Mall of Umbra which services as a vendor house. Two other buildings expand the area, one of which is leased out to the [[Royal Britannian Guard]].

(7) [[Catskills:The Dark Tower|The Dark Tower]] — CoD’s official headquarters is the Dark Tower.

City Loyalty

2014-03-08T01:03:50Z

Pandora CoD: /* Voting Requirements */

City Loyalty is a feature that was introduced with [[Publish 77]] and the storyline [[The Awakening]]. This, coupled with Publish 81's [[Publish_81#City_Elections|City Elections]] has created a rich environment for roleplay within the game.

==Cities==

== Loyalty Rating ==
A city gains '''''Love''''' or '''''Hate''''' for that character based on her/his actions:

{| class="wikitable"

| valign="top" |''None''
| valign="top" |
* Performing negative acts in a city:
** Killing '''Angry Rioters'''. (-400x)
** Performing beneficial acts in other cities.
|-
! Secondary Effects
|
* A small fraction of the city's '''''Hate''''' for that character is converted into '''''Neutrality'''''.
* All other cities will convert some of their '''''Love''''' for that character into '''''Neutrality'''''.

|}

''‡'': If you login once every 40 hours, the decay prevention will prevent cities' '''''Love''''' for you from decaying. '''''Neutrality''''' and '''''Hatred''''' values from cities will always decay.

As you will progress, you will gain a loyalty rating based on your actions:

''‡'': You can become '''''Venerated''''' immediately by donating 100,000 iron ingots to the [[City Trade Minister]]s.

* If the character only performs beneficial actions for one city, the character gains positive ratings
* If the character only performs harmful actions for one city, the character gains negative ratings
* If the character performs a mixture of actions for a city, or performs beneficial actions for multiple cities, the character will tend to gain positive or negative ratings to a lesser degree or will gain distrustful ratings.

Note that you should:
* arrest 4 '''Angry Rioters''' '''or''' help 16 '''Angry Protestors''' for '''Commended''',
* arrest 20 '''Angry Rioters''' '''or''' help 80 '''Angry Protestors''' for '''Respected''',
* arrest 100 '''Angry Rioters''' '''or''' help 400 '''Angry Protestors''' for '''Adored''' and
* arrest 500 '''Angry Rioters''' '''or''' help 2000 '''Angry Protestors''' for '''Venerated'''.

===City Banners===
: ''Main Article: [[City Banner]]''

If your loyalty rating towards the city is high enough (~ ''Adored''), you can purchase a [[City Banner]] from the '''Guard Captains''' for 250,000 [[File:Gold coins.png|link=Gold]] [[Gold|gold pieces]].

===City Titles===
You can declare citizenship for a city (which will grant you the title ''Citizen'') from the ''Rewards'' section of the Titles Menu which can be accessed from your characters context menu. You can receive further titles for that city if you have:

Honesty

2014-02-28T21:09:56Z

Pandora CoD: /* Gaining Honesty */

{{tocright}}
Defined as the quality of being truthful, sincere, or frank, but above all, free from deceit or fraud, in UO, [[Honesty]] is:

* one of the virtues of the [[Virtues|Virtue System]];
* a [[Moongate]] to/from [[Ilshenar]]; and
* a [[Shrine]].

==The Virtue Honesty==
Honesty is one of eight virtues found within Ultima's [[Virtues|Virtue System]], and the sixth to become active. The virtue is represented on the Virtue Gump as an open palm which will turn blue to indicate your current level of achievement.

Honesty became an active virtue as of [[Publish 72]]. Prior to its induction, honesty existed through such items as the [[Transparent Heart]] and the [[Gorget of Honesty]].

The benefit of Honesty is a discount on items bought from NPC merchants. The higher your rank, the more you'll save. The discount will not appear in the merchant window itself, but as a system message following the completed transaction. The discount is based on the total of each sale.

===Gaining Honesty===
[[File:Lost_and_found_box.jpg|frame|Lost and Found box in [[New Magincia]].]]
Gaining in the Virtue of Honesty is accomplished by acquiring and returning items which read: "Lost Item (Return To Gain Honesty)." The items spawn on the ground in both [[Trammel]] and [[Felucca]] but they never spawn within dungeons or guard zones. Once you pick-up a lost item you have three hours to find its owner, after which the item will lose it's "lost" tag:

:''You have three hours to turn this item in for Honesty credit, otherwise it will cease to be a quest item.''

"Lost" items can be returned to any of the Virtue Towns ([[Britain]], [[Yew]], [[Moonglow]], [[Trinsic]], [[Skara Brae]], [[New Magincia]], [[Jhelom]] and [[Minoc]]) for Honesty credit. If the owner of the lost item happens to hail from a particular city you will get double credit for turning the item into that city, whereas a turn-in to the actual owner will yield quadruple credit.

Each town features a special [http://uo2.stratics.com/virtues/honesty lost and found box] located within a bank. To use the lost and found system you simply drop a lost item onto the box. In order to find the specific city in which the item should be returned, or better yet, the specific owner, you will need to use [[Forensic Evaluation]] on the item.

The process of gaining Honesty without forensic evaluation is very slow. For example, sixteen items returned to the exact NPC, or 64 non-specific city drops, resulted in a total of only three Honesty bubbles filled (Frarc). The spawn rate, as well as the random nature of the lost items, are other factors which make Honesty one of the tougher virtues to practice.

 

==The Honesty Moongate==
[[File:Honesty moongate.jpg|frame|In mid-southern Ilshenar.]]
The Honesty Moogate leads to and from the mid-southern edge of Ilshenar (22°40'N 42°15'W). It is close to the following features:
* [[Ankh Dungeon]]
* [[Cyclops' Pyramid]]
* [[Mistas]]
* [[Nox Tereg]]
* [[Wisp Dungeon]]

==The Honesty Shrine==
[[File:Honesty shrine.jpg|frame|left|On Dagger Isle.]]
The Honesty Shrine (93°9'N 156°57'W) is a named [[ankh]] that is located on [[Dagger Isle]], which is best known for being the home to the [[dungeon]] [[Deceit]]. The shrine is not adjacent to a moongate.
*Saying the word Ahm at the Honesty Shrine while wearing the [[Ankh Pendant]] will grant the wearer +2 [[Mana Regeneration]] for one hour.
*A character can lock his or her [[karma]] at the shrine.
*Paladins can [[Chivalry#Tithing|tithe]] there.
*It is also handy for [[resurrection]].

==Lore==
* '''Symbol''': An open palm
* '''Derived From''': Truth
* '''Anti-Virtue''': Deceit
* '''Original Class''': Mage
* '''Original Home City''': [[Moonglow]]
* '''Opposing Dungeon''': Deceit
* '''Mantra''': Ahm
* '''Companion''': [[Mariah]]

According to Ultima V, honesty is scrupulous respect for truth - the willingness never to deceive oneself or another.

Catskills:Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra

2014-02-09T19:17:36Z

Pandora CoD: /* TERRITORY */

== ABOUT THIS REGIMENT ==
[[File:Rbg-umbraheadquarters-new.png|200px|thumb|left|RBG Headquarters in West Umbra]]The Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra was founded after the occurrences of Ix Tab in the region that led to the re-enforcement of the Gates to Bedlam — the lost university of dark arts. Queen Dawn thought it was important to situate a regiment on this colony in Malas to help the citizens rebuild and restore Umbra after the destruction of the evil clan known as Lectum Intus Corpus Horrendus, or LICH for short. LICH had previously taken residence in the city of Umbra and enslaved its people. Ever since then, the RBG of Umbra has worked tirelessly and without pause to defend the people of Umbra and its surrounding areas from common foes under the command of Commander Kanlocke. However, after the death of our beloved Queen Dawn, things changed and now Commander Kanlocke is sought out for treason.

The RBG, and certain regiments of it, had stumbled across dark times succumbing to wicked ways. The Crown then sought to disband the RBG in its entirety, an event we call “The Great Divide”. RBG regiments that were true to the ways of Lord British and the Order were suddenly orphaned. The RBG of Umbra was kept together by the Children of Darkness, led by Pandora and Marius Romanus, who sought to it that our efforts for the Umbra Territory would continue. They took up our financial troubles, offering to pay our salaries as the Crown had been if we continued our work. And thus we did.

Now, that the Crown has restored its relationship with the regiments, we’re back under the payroll of King Blackthorn but we certainly do not forget that it was the House of Romanus that kept food on our family’s table all this time as thus continue a friendly relationship with them. And they continue to flourish and restore Umbra bit by bit with our assistance of course.

== TERRITORY ==
[[File:CoD-RBGU-territory.png|200px|thumb|left|RBG Territory of Jurisdiction]]The territory that was officially entrusted to us by Queen Dawn was all conjoined lands West of the Broken Mountains of Malas. Queen Dawn justified her rule in Malas, as a colony of the Crown, but our current monarch doesn’t seem to view it the same. But we have been allowed to continue our work with formal recognition as a regiment of the RBG by King Blackthorn himself.

The Romanus Family operates all business and holds most of the real estate in this region. There are various private residences that belong to the family and they are major investors into the Trade and Commerce Commission that operates the Umbra Mall, just west of the main city. They are also the private owners of the School for Gifted Youngsters and the corresponding Umbra Orphanage. Our own offices are leased out from them, one we share with their own military unit, The Legionnaires. They also operate the City Court and Jailhouse which is right next to our offices. So we still work very closely with the family to better and improve the area.{{Line Break}}{{Line Break}}

== CHARACTER ==
Your general disposition should be pleasant, friendly, and of service to the population. That doesn’t mean that you cannot have certain character traits, for example… playing the “bad cop” in an interrogation or a domestic dispute. There are many characteristics that you can apply to your persona and still remain part of the RBG. You could even secretly go rogue, or turn vigilante, or take bribes as part of your role play. Just be sure to be expelled from the organization should you be found out. Keeping the secrets might be a lot of fun.

== DAILY LIFE ==
An officer’s life can include a wife/husband and children. These can be either actual player characters or just appearing through your role play. You have a set schedule (which isn’t like a real life schedule) that the Captain will issue you. Your role play should reflect that schedule. What you do outside of your schedule can be up to you. Just keep the integrity of the organization in mind at all times.

== RANKS ==
There are many ranks within the RBG of Umbra that you can take. Always remember that our top-end report is the Royal Commander, who serves the Crown and has ultimate authority over all chapters.{{Line Break}}{{Line Break}}
• '''CAPTAIN''' — The Captain is in charge of the entire association. They answer only to the Royal Commander (part of the RBG RP theme). No one can apply for this title as they are the stoneholder. Currently, Kalmar Erikkson serves as Captain.{{Line Break}}
• '''LEUITENANT''' — The RBG can have many Lt.’s working on various storylines and arcs. This is an earned rank, appointed to you by the captain. You have the responsibility to contribute and/or create storylines for those ranks below you.{{Line Break}}

Catskills:Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra

Pandora CoD: /* ABOUT THIS REGIMENT */

== ABOUT THIS REGIMENT ==
[[File:Rbg-umbraheadquarters-new.png|200px|thumb|left|RBG Headquarters in West Umbra]]The Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra was founded after the occurrences of Ix Tab in the region that led to the re-enforcement of the Gates to Bedlam — the lost university of dark arts. Queen Dawn thought it was important to situate a regiment on this colony in Malas to help the citizens rebuild and restore Umbra after the destruction of the evil clan known as Lectum Intus Corpus Horrendus, or LICH for short. LICH had previously taken residence in the city of Umbra and enslaved its people. Ever since then, the RBG of Umbra has worked tirelessly and without pause to defend the people of Umbra and its surrounding areas from common foes under the command of Commander Kanlocke. However, after the death of our beloved Queen Dawn, things changed and now Commander Kanlocke is sought out for treason.

The RBG, and certain regiments of it, had stumbled across dark times succumbing to wicked ways. The Crown then sought to disband the RBG in its entirety, an event we call “The Great Divide”. RBG regiments that were true to the ways of Lord British and the Order were suddenly orphaned. The RBG of Umbra was kept together by the Children of Darkness, led by Pandora and Marius Romanus, who sought to it that our efforts for the Umbra Territory would continue. They took up our financial troubles, offering to pay our salaries as the Crown had been if we continued our work. And thus we did.

Now, that the Crown has restored its relationship with the regiments, we’re back under the payroll of King Blackthorn but we certainly do not forget that it was the House of Romanus that kept food on our family’s table all this time as thus continue a friendly relationship with them. And they continue to flourish and restore Umbra bit by bit with our assistance of course.

== TERRITORY ==
[[File:CoD-RBGU-territory.png|200px|thumb|left|RBG Territory of Jurisdiction]]The territory that was officially entrusted to us by Queen Dawn was all conjoined lands West of the Broken Mountains of Malas. Queen Dawn justified her rule in Malas, as a colony of the Crown, but our current monarch doesn’t seem to view it the same. But we have been allowed to continue our work with formal recognition as a regiment of the RBG by King Blackthorn himself.

The Romanus Family operates all business and holds most of the real estate in this region. There are various private residences that belong to the family and they are major investors into the Trade and Commerce Commission that operates the Umbra Mall, just west of the main city. They are also the private owners of the School for Gifted Youngsters and the corresponding Umbra Orphanage. Our own offices are leased out from them, one we share with their own military unit, The Legionnaires. They also operate the City Court and Jailhouse which is right next to our offices. So we still work very closely with the family to better and improve the area.

== CHARACTER ==
Your general disposition should be pleasant, friendly, and of service to the population. That doesn’t mean that you cannot have certain character traits, for example… playing the “bad cop” in an interrogation or a domestic dispute. There are many characteristics that you can apply to your persona and still remain part of the RBG. You could even secretly go rogue, or turn vigilante, or take bribes as part of your role play. Just be sure to be expelled from the organization should you be found out. Keeping the secrets might be a lot of fun.

== DAILY LIFE ==
An officer’s life can include a wife/husband and children. These can be either actual player characters or just appearing through your role play. You have a set schedule (which isn’t like a real life schedule) that the Captain will issue you. Your role play should reflect that schedule. What you do outside of your schedule can be up to you. Just keep the integrity of the organization in mind at all times.

== RANKS ==
There are many ranks within the RBG of Umbra that you can take. Always remember that our top-end report is the Royal Commander, who serves the Crown and has ultimate authority over all chapters.{{Line Break}}{{Line Break}}

Catskills:Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra

2014-02-09T19:12:21Z

Pandora CoD: /* UNIFORMS */

== ABOUT THIS REGIMENT ==
The Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra was founded after the occurrences of Ix Tab in the region that led to the re-enforcement of the Gates to Bedlam — the lost university of dark arts. Queen Dawn thought it was important to situate a regiment on this colony in Malas to help the citizens rebuild and restore Umbra after the destruction of the evil clan known as Lectum Intus Corpus Horrendus, or LICH for short. LICH had previously taken residence in the city of Umbra and enslaved its people. Ever since then, the RBG of Umbra has worked tirelessly and without pause to defend the people of Umbra and its surrounding areas from common foes under the command of Commander Kanlocke. However, after the death of our beloved Queen Dawn, things changed and now Commander Kanlocke is sought out for treason.

The RBG, and certain regiments of it, had stumbled across dark times succumbing to wicked ways. The Crown then sought to disband the RBG in its entirety, an event we call “The Great Divide”. RBG regiments that were true to the ways of Lord British and the Order were suddenly orphaned. The RBG of Umbra was kept together by the Children of Darkness, led by Pandora and Marius Romanus, who sought to it that our efforts for the Umbra Territory would continue. They took up our financial troubles, offering to pay our salaries as the Crown had been if we continued our work. And thus we did.

Now, that the Crown has restored its relationship with the regiments, we’re back under the payroll of King Blackthorn but we certainly do not forget that it was the House of Romanus that kept food on our family’s table all this time as thus continue a friendly relationship with them. And they continue to flourish and restore Umbra bit by bit with our assistance of course.

== TERRITORY ==
[[File:CoD-RBGU-territory.png|200px|thumb|left|RBG Territory of Jurisdiction]]The territory that was officially entrusted to us by Queen Dawn was all conjoined lands West of the Broken Mountains of Malas. Queen Dawn justified her rule in Malas, as a colony of the Crown, but our current monarch doesn’t seem to view it the same. But we have been allowed to continue our work with formal recognition as a regiment of the RBG by King Blackthorn himself.

The Romanus Family operates all business and holds most of the real estate in this region. There are various private residences that belong to the family and they are major investors into the Trade and Commerce Commission that operates the Umbra Mall, just west of the main city. They are also the private owners of the School for Gifted Youngsters and the corresponding Umbra Orphanage. Our own offices are leased out from them, one we share with their own military unit, The Legionnaires. They also operate the City Court and Jailhouse which is right next to our offices. So we still work very closely with the family to better and improve the area.

== CHARACTER ==
Your general disposition should be pleasant, friendly, and of service to the population. That doesn’t mean that you cannot have certain character traits, for example… playing the “bad cop” in an interrogation or a domestic dispute. There are many characteristics that you can apply to your persona and still remain part of the RBG. You could even secretly go rogue, or turn vigilante, or take bribes as part of your role play. Just be sure to be expelled from the organization should you be found out. Keeping the secrets might be a lot of fun.

== DAILY LIFE ==
An officer’s life can include a wife/husband and children. These can be either actual player characters or just appearing through your role play. You have a set schedule (which isn’t like a real life schedule) that the Captain will issue you. Your role play should reflect that schedule. What you do outside of your schedule can be up to you. Just keep the integrity of the organization in mind at all times.

The '''Sands of Sosaria''' was one of the gift items from the [[15th Anniversary]] gift bag. It is an hourglass that, when double-clicked, displays a manuscript about an historic event from one of the 16 years in UO's history (1997 - 2012).

==Manuscripts==
Each manuscript begins with the text:
:''Sands of Sosaria{{Line Break}}By [[Malachi]] the Archivist''

It then goes on to name a [[Britannia]]n year that fell within the featured Earth year, and briefly describes an important historical event that took place at that time.

===1997===
''"Britannia Year 289"''

''"[[Mondain]] murdered his father and twisted his family's Sun Ruby into the [[Gem of Immortality]]. Using this power, Mondain sent armies to the ends of [[Sosaria]] to conquer everything. The Stranger's sword smashed the dark gem, killing Mondain and shattering the world into different shards. "''

===1998===
''"Britannia Year 294"''

''"The leaders of the [[Followers of Armageddon]], Martoo Saul, Junin Pince, Zendella Kxriss, and Miron Vehl, bargained with wisps to learn the [[Armageddon]] spell and worked in secret to collect enough [[blackrock]] to cast it. Their conspiracy of terror resulted in the death of many innocents, but eventually the group's leaders were captured and executed. "''

===1999===
''"Britannia Year 299"''

''"The Followers of Armageddon unsuccessfully cast the [[Armageddon]] Spell, but the magic unleashed resulted in earthquakes and tremors that opened entrances to a mysterious land. These Lost Lands were explored by [[Crawworth]] during the first Britannian expedition. However, the unsuspecting humans were thrown into an ancient struggle between the [[Terathan]]s and [[Ophidian]]s. The dangers of the land proved too great, and Crawworth lost his life at the start of the second age. "''

===2000===

Catskills:Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra

2013-12-29T23:09:37Z

Pandora CoD:

== ABOUT THIS REGIMENT ==
The Royal Britannian Guard of Umbra was founded after the occurrences of Ix Tab in the region that led to the re-enforcement of the Gates to Bedlam — the lost university of dark arts. Queen Dawn thought it was important to situate a regiment on this colony in Malas to help the citizens rebuild and restore Umbra after the destruction of the evil clan known as Lectum Intus Corpus Horrendus, or LICH for short. LICH had previously taken residence in the city of Umbra and enslaved its people. Ever since then, the RBG of Umbra has worked tirelessly and without pause to defend the people of Umbra and its surrounding areas from common foes under the command of Commander Kanlocke. However, after the death of our beloved Queen Dawn, things changed and now Commander Kanlocke is sought out for treason.

The RBG, and certain regiments of it, had stumbled across dark times succumbing to wicked ways. The Crown then sought to disband the RBG in its entirety, an event we call “The Great Divide”. RBG regiments that were true to the ways of Lord British and the Order were suddenly orphaned. The RBG of Umbra was kept together by the Children of Darkness, led by Pandora and Marius Romanus, who sought to it that our efforts for the Umbra Territory would continue. They took up our financial troubles, offering to pay our salaries as the Crown had been if we continued our work. And thus we did.

Now, that the Crown has restored its relationship with the regiments, we’re back under the payroll of King Blackthorn but we certainly do not forget that it was the House of Romanus that kept food on our family’s table all this time as thus continue a friendly relationship with them. And they continue to flourish and restore Umbra bit by bit with our assistance of course.

== TERRITORY ==
The territory that was officially entrusted to us by Queen Dawn was all conjoined lands West of the Broken Mountains of Malas. Queen Dawn justified her rule in Malas, as a colony of the Crown, but our current monarch doesn’t seem to view it the same. But we have been allowed to continue our work with formal recognition as a regiment of the RBG by King Blackthorn himself.

The Romanus Family operates all business and holds most of the real estate in this region. There are various private residences that belong to the family and they are major investors into the Trade and Commerce Commission that operates the Umbra Mall, just west of the main city. They are also the private owners of the School for Gifted Youngsters and the corresponding Umbra Orphanage. Our own offices are leased out from them, one we share with their own military unit, The Legionnaires. They also operate the City Court and Jailhouse which is right next to our offices. So we still work very closely with the family to better and improve the area.

== CHARACTER ==
Your general disposition should be pleasant, friendly, and of service to the population. That doesn’t mean that you cannot have certain character traits, for example… playing the “bad cop” in an interrogation or a domestic dispute. There are many characteristics that you can apply to your persona and still remain part of the RBG. You could even secretly go rogue, or turn vigilante, or take bribes as part of your role play. Just be sure to be expelled from the organization should you be found out. Keeping the secrets might be a lot of fun.

== DAILY LIFE ==
An officer’s life can include a wife/husband and children. These can be either actual player characters or just appearing through your role play. You have a set schedule (which isn’t like a real life schedule) that the Captain will issue you. Your role play should reflect that schedule. What you do outside of your schedule can be up to you. Just keep the integrity of the organization in mind at all times.

== RANKS ==
There are many ranks within the RBG of Umbra that you can take. Always remember that our top-end report is the Royal Commander, who serves the Crown and has ultimate authority over all chapters.{{Line Break}}{{Line Break}}
• '''CAPTAIN''' — The Captain is in charge of the entire association. They answer only to the Royal Commander (part of the RBG RP theme). No one can apply for this title as they are the stoneholder. Currently, Kalmar Erikkson serves as Captain.{{Line Break}}

Folks can also contribute to the RBG theme by taking on administrative roles as well.

First and foremost, all characters must have an account on our main [http://www.royalbritannianguard.com RBG website] (one will be created for you). You will be asked to post in character storyline updates as needed. Also there are tasks within the game that must be met in the form of detailed accounts of events (by use of books). Remember that our main goal is to create a ROLE PLAYING world and everything we do must support that. The site helps to keep folks informed and it allows them to contribute to the story. RP that happens naturally can’t always be documented, we understand that, but main story arcs should be to allow others a chance to participate in their own way.
