With the active support of Tribun Dragon, various inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the content of the German version of Ultima 7 have been corrected lately.

Besides the content adjustments, the bugs around Tseramed, Rankin, Iskander and Fishing will be fixed as well (as in the German version).
As a “sneak-preview”, here’s the first paragraph of Astelleron’s logbook. Since the island on which this logbook was written was under water at that time, the previous text in this part made no sense.

Each day I stare at the wall of water in front of me and lose myself in the dark beauty of the sea around me. I have no fear of strangers in my dome of air herein: either I will meet the Avatar, or the golems I created to protect the Shrines will fend off hostile visitors… |
