The Age of Armageddon Saga (sometimes referred to as The Guardian Saga) refers to the time period of the final bunch of games set in the Ultima universe; this time period also includes Ultima Underworld II.

Overview[]

The Age of Armageddon Saga is the final Ultima saga. The world of Britannia is again under attack, this time by a malevolent entity known as the Guardian; his plots, both subtle and blunt, threaten to tear Britannia and other worlds asunder. Only the Avatar, the famed Britannian hero and paragon of the Eight Virtues, can set things right - and in the end, in a way totally unexpected.

Real world notes[]

This saga takes an extremely dark turn; it introduces the Guardian, an extremely powerful and subtle adversary and also contains a bit more violence and a darker story tone overall. Ultima VII Part Two and Ultima VIII take place in completely different worlds other than Britannia; Serpent Isle and Pagan, respectively. In interviews, Richard Garriott has stated that he wanted to get away from Britannia for a while after so many games taking place there.

Many fans do not consider Ultima IX truly canon, as many liberties were taken with the Ultima universe and it often contradicts earlier Ultima games. The final realization, and resolution - that the Avatar and the Guardian are two sides of the same coin and that their ascension and absorption is inevitable - was very poorly received by fans.
