I believe that entire level of the map is copied from the original Ultima games, the room was of some significance there, I believe (been a LONG time since I've played them), but I'm not sure if it has any real reason for being there now, other than nostalgia for those who've played previous Ultima games.

I think several places still needed to be worked on. If you go to the temple of the Stygian Dragon its also empty. I don't think thats the idea.

I am thinking that they are saving some surprises for us for when SA goes
live.

You're right! I found a strange old parchment deep down in my private dungeon: a map from Lvl 1 from 'Ultima Underworld - The Stygian Abyss'. Awesome :thumbsup:

Why wouldn't you be? It's already all over the web anyway. Heck, its even on the Ultima archive site attached to the UO page that I don't remember the link for. Only reason I haven't scanned it in high res is that it would be too muchwork for me.. i'd feel a need to make sure all the imperfections and creases and such that aren't supposed to be there were fixed like I did for the Ultima 5 NES port's map a few years back.
