Ultima VII: The Black Gate. "job,new magincia, corruption, evil, suspect". Ultima VII: The Black Gate. "job, mayor, administration". Ultima VI: The False Prophet. "humi,star". Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny. "soul, envy, pride, flames". Ironically, the end of New Maginica proved much the same as the end of the Old Maginica, with the settlement left an abandoned ruin – and none save Katrina living on the isle by the age of Ultima IX. When the Guardian plagued Britannia with his columns, their effect stripped the inhabitants of New Magincia of their much vaunted humility, and droves of citizens left the isle. Little else changed in that time and the world moved on and left the island isolated. As peace returned to the village and throughout much of the following two centuries, the town design changed to focus on crystalline homes and towers. This ill-fated exchange of information, however, brought about the sage's brutal assassination at the hands of the organization he had critiqued, disturbing the quiet of the parochial town with an unexpected act of violence. In Ultima VII, the Avatar had need to consult Alagner to obtain his notes for the Xorinite wisps. It was during this time that Alagner, a scholar critical of the newly formed philosophical society known as the Fellowship, immigrated to the island, hoping to escape their influence and gather proof of their nefarious plans. The mayor, Magenta, even explained that the Britannian Tax Council had often forgotten to visit the city, leaving the area with unexpected tax relief.

New Magincia seemed a place forgotten by time. Over the next two centuries, the people of isle remained much the same, even in the face of the vast and varied social changes that beset the rest of Britannia. During the Avatar's visit, the mayor, Antonio, engaged the hero in a game of sorts, asking the champion to determine who among the city's inhabitants was most humble. There was no evidence of its previous collective structure, and it now was governed by a regular mayor, although its inhabitants lives remained much the same, tending to matters of fields, fish and flocks. It was the refuge of councilman Hassad from Skara Brae, being hidden by the farmer Kaiko until the Shdowlords found him there and took him to Blackthorn for imprisonment, as the inhabitants later told the Avatar.īy the Gargoyle War of Ultima VI, New Magincia had changed but little. In the days of Ultima V, the simple hamlet, like so many other cities, fell victim to the hauntings of the Shadowlords. The early inhabitants of the new settlement were farmers, working as a collective in communal fields. In the year 136, settlers came to rebuild upon the ruins of the old city of pride, laying the ghosts of old to rest and founding a city dedicated to humility upon the waste.

The sole survivor of the calamity, a humble shepherd named Katrina eventually came to join the Stranger in the quest for Avatarhood, and would eventually become one of the hero's enduring companions.

When the hero who would become the Avatar arrived at the ruin in Ultima IV the husk of Magincia contained little save for the restless spirits of its condemned. This overzealous pomp earned the wrath of dark forces, and this eventually culminated in the arrival of a daemonic horde, which razed the city and slaughtered its inhabitants. New Magincia stands on the land which once housed the grand city of Magincia, home to arrogant merchants who dedicated themselves to the ignobility of pride. The economy of the city is largely derived from its agrarian industry, although shipwrights occasionally crop up to meet the demand for travel to more exciting climes.Ī moongate on the south edge of the island has long made transportation to faster paced cities an easy undertaking.
#MAGINCIA ULTIMA III FREE#
The pastoral simplicity of the town, however, has attracted many who wish to escape the worldly rigors of life elsewhere, and many former nobles and knights have been found on the isle, leading peaceable and contemplative existences free of pomp.

Throughout the ages, New Magincia has remained quiet and possesses little spectacle to attract the excitement-seeking adventurer. Unassuming as a city, New Magincia is home to simple shepherds and farmers, tending to their land and flocks. New Magincia is dedicated to the virtue of Humility, having been built upon the ruins of the destroyed bastion of pride, Magincia.
