Item: Blackrock

Blackrock

Description: In the previous Ultimas, blackrock was used by The Fellowship to build the Black Gate, a magical doorway that would have allowed the Guardian to enter Britannia physically. Blackrock was almost indestructible.

In Ultima Online, Nystul himself admits he does not know the purpose of blackrock, nor it's relation with the Armageddon spell. But it is clear by now that the Followers of Armageddon are seeking blackrock actively, and we can only speculate that it will allow them to cast that dreaded spell. Please see below about Crystalline Blackrock for more information. Currently owned by Lord Gormach VonLeal and on display at The Glowing Orb Museum.
