The Pillars of the Argonauts
The Pillars of the Argonauts are a monument in the days of old Sosaria, located within the Lands of the Feudal Lords during the era of Ultima I.
Description[]
These pillars were one of eight major sites in the realm that adventurers once quested to find, in search of power or at the behest of the numerous kings of the land. Curiously, those who searched the grounds around them could find a variety of weapons, with the potency of these armaments growing greater with each return visit.[1] The sign marking this site read "Fortes - Fortuna - Adiuvat."
After the death of Mondain and the sundering of Sosaria, these pillars, like many prominent landmarks, vanished with the passing of time. It is not known what became of them.
Trivia[]
- "Fortes - Fortuna - Adiuvat" translates to "Fortune favors the strong," in Latin.
- The argonauts were the legendary company of the hero Jason in Greek mythology, who journeyed to Colchis in the hopes of obtaining the golden fleece to satisfy Jason's uncle Pelias.
