The Literal ULTIMA - Ultima III Transcript

		ULTIMA III Transcript

		This transcript was made during the time of the demon-child Exodus. Lord British dispatched the best of his minions to scour the land for information, and many of the resulting notes and maps were included in the Great Work of that time, Secrets of Sosaria. These researchers also took notes on the characters and conversations they had, which, along with notes gathered from the Stranger from Another World's journeys, are included here.
