| - The fictional Ultima universe has quite a detailed history that has been built up in through both the games themselves, and the backstory therein. Events are dated from the foundation of the kingdom of Britannia, hence BC (Britannian Calendar). History before Britannia's founding is uncertain and vague. This timeline includes all the canon single-player Ultima games. The timeline is derived from the events in the following games: Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness, Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress, Ultima III: Exodus, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny, Ultima VI: The False Prophet, Ultima VII: The Black Gate, Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue, Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle, Ultima VIII: Pagan, Ultima IX: Ascension, Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire, Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams, Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, and Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds. The timeline of the Ultima universe can be aligned with that of Earth, however for every year that passes in our world, many centuries may pass in Britannia. The universe of Ultima Online branches off from this timeline just after the events of Ultima I, and thereafter follows an alternate continuity.
