The main character in all Ultima games is called the Avatar. You can name him a new name. We named the Avatar in Savage Empire "Matthew" in honor of our dad. Anyway, in Savage Empire, Matthew gets transported to the Valley of Eodon because his friend messed up a blackrock experiment in the previous game, Ultima VI (this one sucks compared to Savage Empire, btw) and sent him back in time. The Valley of Eodon is a weird tropical jungle island AKA a savage empire. It's sort of a mix between parts of ancient Africa and parts of ancient South America, depending where you go. There are thirteen tribes in total, and they're all at war with each other. Your job is to unite the tribes and get them to fight together against a race of mutant red ants called the Myrmidex. So the point of the game is to be a peacemaker and use your head. This is really the best game ever.
Every tribe gives you a mission because you have to prove yourself worthy for them to do what you ask and unite. You find out that the Savage Empire was created as a mash-up of all different parts of the ancient world because of this huge moonstone that got corrupted and has to be destroyed. Finally, Rafkin and the wisp tell you that it turns out that The Valley of Eodon is actually on earth.
Best. Game. Ever.
