Scenarios are a year old now, and we have had 5 of them.
Each one has been a tentative step forward in an attempt to expand the story and add more flavor to the world of UO by placing puzzles and challenges in the game for players to do or solve.
Scenarios have also been the launching pad for the introduction of new creatures. The scenario fiction puts into context why these new creatures have emerged.
Honestly, this scenario is one of the bests to date, as it adds a new element to UO, and attempts to bring Quests to a mainstream in game.
Waiting to see what the future holds now.
As for a summary, here goes...
Scenario 1
Orc Scenario
Orcs are being attacked by mysterious ppl only to be forced out of their homes and moved into other camps and a cavern. They then proceed to attack the cities of Britannia, in an effort to find a stronger safe hold, away from this new menace. We soon find that these attackers are savages.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scenario 2
Gargoyle Scenario
Here, we learn more about the person responsible for the attacks on Britannia, int eh first scenario. His minions, the Controllers and golems, begin exploration and recon of Britannia, searching out information, while also building places of power.
In an effort to stave off the assault, Nystul, Lord British's personal wizard, formulates a plan, reveals the towers, and allows us access to the dungeon in Ilshenar, before Nystul leaves Britannia in search of the Lost King.
There, the machines controlling the Gargoyle ppl is destroyed, and the city of Ver Lor Reg is freed in Ilshenar. (this was one heck of a battle to)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scenario 3
The Juka are brought from the past and the Meer Awaken.
His plans falling apart, Exodus, the mysterious entity, summons his lackeys from the past, to help him in his conquest of Britannia. He also convinces Blackthorn to trade his humanity for power, turning him into the monster that he is now.
Adranath, the Meer Eternal, stays awake for 1000's of years while his ppl, the Meer, slumber away, awaiting the time of their revivification.
As the cloud's darken on the horizon, Dasha journey's to Britannia, and seeks out the leaders there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scenario 4
Blackthorn Attacks
Blackthorn launches an assault against Yew.
Dawn, a farm girl, aids in repelling of the Juka, but in that battle, we soon see how far the corruption of Blackthorn has gone, as he reveals himself to the ppl of Britannia in a defiant stance in front of the girl Dawn.
Dawn soon goes to Britannia, meets up with Dupre, and she is soon knighted, after being warned by Dasha of an impending attack against Minoc.
Meanwhile, Adranath convinces the other elder Meer to start the spell of destruction and stop the Juka in Yew.
But, after 1000's of years, they didn't realise that the ether of magick had changed so much, and their spell didn't work as planned.
The end result was Yew becoming a swamp, in a spell called the Decay.
The Meer, being strongly linked to nature, felt the effects of the spell, as they were dying along with the area around Yew. With the help of several ppl, the decay spell was stopped, and the assault on Britannia was halted.
Meanwhile, Blackthorn has felt betrayed by Exodus, as the strange creature has seemingly left him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scenario 5
The Solen Emerge
The ant like race called the Solen appear.
They are evidently the byproduct of the Decay spell and as a result, have grown to an enormous size and are even more intelligent than their appearance would dictate.
An effort has been created to fix the damage done by purifying the water that the Solen drink.
The same Decay that created the Solen is also slowly killing them.
