Ultima: The Tale of Captain Johne The Tale of Captain Johne
Ahh, 'twas the most fitting of nights when I first found this journal. . . or, shall I say, the journal found me. Waves frothed against the shores of Verity Isle while the storm battered the eaves of the Lycaeum. Though I had the shutters of the library drawn, my candle guttered with each shriek of the wind, and 'twas during the fiercest exchange of thunder that the gale finally tore through the window and stole my light. A simple spell was enough to extinguish the darkness and lo! there the journal lay where it had not, beckoning me to read its pages. And so I did, perhaps becoming the first Britannian to truly fathom the cataclysmic events that led to the rise of the Shadowlords.

A tragedy that shaped an era, The Tale of Captain of Johne chronicles the final voyage of the Captain and his ship. 'Twas the darkest of days when the maelstrom engulfed him and his crew, for that day marked the end of an Age of Enlightenment. . . and heralded a new Age of Darkness.

Read on, friend. 'Tis a tale to be remembered and retold.
