Time of Legends

Time of Legends — released March 2015 — is the expansion that introduced Eodon, the prehistoric "lost world" facet, alongside the Myrmidex Threat lore campaign and a roster of canonical "lost-civilisation" content. Time of Legends is the smallest of UO's major expansions in terms of new mechanics — no new skills, no new races — but it added a complete new facet (Eodon) populated with prehistoric beasts, tribal NPCs, the lost city of Kotl, and artifact-tier loot that became the canonical "Time of Legends gear" tier in the build optimization meta.

The expansion is the canonical entry point into the Eodon storyline arc that continues through subsequent publish cycles. Its monsters (Tyrannosaur, Saurosaur, Allosaurus, Boura, Najasaurus, Reptalon) became canonical Tamer pets and Provoker targets; its dungeon (the Painted Caves initially, then later the Treasures of the Kotl City) became canonical end-game gold-and-artifact farms.

What Time of Legends shipped

Eodon

Eodon is the fifth facet of Britannia (after Felucca, Trammel, Malas, Tokuno, Ter Mur — actually sixth if counting Ter Mur from Stygian Abyss). The facet is a single large valley:

The valley is canonically isolated — only one entrance from a hidden Britannia plane, and the inhabitants speak no Common. Players entering Eodon must learn tribal dialogue conventions to advance the questline.

Prehistoric monsters

Time of Legends added a roster of unique creatures:

The Najasaurus and Reptalon in particular became canonical Tamer end-game pets — both 5-slot creatures with strong combat profiles and Eodon-themed cosmetic appeal.

Tribal factions

The Eodon valley is divided into multiple tribal factions with their own quest chains:

Each tribe has friendly relations or hostility toward the player based on questline progression. Veterans navigate the tribal politics carefully to maximize questline rewards.

Kotl — the lost civilization

The Kotl are a lost civilization within Eodon — an ancient race that built underground cities before disappearing. The Kotl appear in:

The Kotl's lore canonically connects Eodon to the broader Britannia universe — they are the predecessors / cousins of the Britannian civilizations.

Myrmidex Threat — the lore campaign

The Myrmidex Threat is a multi-stage lore campaign beginning at Time of Legends and unfolding through subsequent publishes:

The campaign is opt-in — players can ignore Eodon entirely if they choose. For completion-focused players it provides 50+ hours of content.

Time of Legends artifacts

The expansion introduced an artifact tier rolling out from Eodon dungeons:

Many Time of Legends artifacts are still meta-relevant in modern UO — particularly stat-density rings + bracelets that compete with Imbued versions for specific build slots.

Tribal Mask connection

The Tribal Mask item is a Time of Legends-themed cosmetic, though it's also tied to the broader Tokuno-tribal aesthetic. The mask can be worn alongside Eodon-themed cosmetics for a unified "lost world" loadout.
