Great Siberian Dragon’s day job involves the design and layout of brochures, so she thought it would be fun to take some inspiration from the (admittedly very cool) Visit Britannia website and create travel brochures for luxury tours of Britannia and Pagan.
Britannia, as described in the brochure for it, is based on Ultima 7, absent the Fellowship and the Guardian. Images used to illustrate the brochure draw on various Ultima games, in addition to real-world and other artistic sources. It’s a marvelously arranged document.
Pagan, meanwhile, is set in a post-Ultima 8 time frame, and as such there is a welcome message from Lord Devon, the Tempest of Tenebrae. It takes a very optimistic view of the fate of the land in its post-Titan era; one notes that a “water hole” is offered as a swimming opportunity.
The Serpent Isle brochure, meanwhile, doesn’t make it easy to deduce what time frame it is set in, whether pre-Ultima 7 Part 2 or post-game. We could probably assume it is set prior to the Banes wreaking havoc upon the land, although it is odd then that the guide does not caution against mentioning Britannia or Lord British to the denizens of the land. A warning against wearing Gwani-derived garments in the northern areas of the Isle, however, is present.
