Ultima VI: The False Prophet

When explorers first ventured into the treacherous depths beneath the realm, they encountered the Gargoyles—creatures long dismissed as myth who had dwelt undisturbed in the underworld's shadows. Now these winged horrors have emerged into the world above, launching devastating raids under cover of darkness and systematically desecrating sacred temples and centers of learning across the land. Entire settlements lie in ruins or abandoned, and despite organized resistance from trained military forces, the relentless onslaught continues unabated. The Gargoyles' coordinated assault suggests a calculated purpose beyond mere destruction; whispers speak of a hidden treasure driving their invasion, or perhaps something far more personal—rumors that their wrath is aimed directly at you, though the reason remains shrouded in mystery.
