20th Anniversary Global Event Arc
The Shattered Obelisk was scheduled to begin on August 16th, 2017 at approximately 11:00am ET. Due to a shard crash issue with Publish 98, the start was delayed to August 17th, 2017.[1]
On 8/16/2017, just after 3 PM EST, the new flaming trade quest ambushes were deactivated due to a bug. They were turned back on on 8/17/2017 after server maintenance.[2]
Non-Storyline Changes
The Town Cryer
The Town Cryer has been resurrected to publish new fiction for the first time since 2000. Issues are now released using a in-game item that looks like a newspaper, rather than being posted out-of-game to uo.com.
UO Store
Three new Haochi's Pigments have been spotted in the UO Store: (8/16/2017)
Storyline
Part I – The Not-So-Ordinary World
"It is just another day in Britannia, or is it? In an effort to stimulate trade and bolster city treasuries his Royal Highness has announced a reduction in tariffs, giving a large bonus to all city trade deliveries. With an increase in trade traffic, royal trade carts are finding themselves ambushed on Britannia’s roads. Who are these unknown attackers and what is their intent? Are they merely highway men looking to score some easy coin or are there more sinister forces at work…"[3]

Trade Quests
'Curious' Items
New 'curious' items come as rare drops from doing trade quests:
| Item | Skill required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A Daemonic Amulet | Magery | The amulet bears a large pentagram hanging from a series of interlocking beads. Small bits of daemon flesh grind between the links as you manipulate them. |
| A Mysterious Rolled Map | Cartography | The map shows the location of several locations throughout Britannia, but none seem to stand out as noteworthy. |
| An Oddly Modified Gorget | Blacksmithing | The gorget appears to have been modified to fit the neck of a large creature. There are chafe marks scarring the interior showing signs of struggle against it by the wearer. Large rings stud the circumference of the gorget. |
 A Soul Trapped Within A Phylactery
|
Necromancy | A tool used by those wishing to entrap the souls of the undead and command them to do their bidding. |
| Boline | Swordsmanship | The crescent blade is crude but you surmise is formidable for performing intricate engraving work. The tip is stained with the shavings of wax and soft metal. |
| Dried Incense | Alchemy | The strong smell of sage and deadwood emanates from the bundle. |
| Folded Stole | Tailoring | Often used during official ceremonies and ritual this long flowing vestment is worn draped over the neck and is embroidered with pentagrams at either end. |
| Goblet | Tinkering | The goblet is relatively unassuming. The interior of the pewter cup is stained a deep ruby. An etching of a pentagram decorates the base. |
| Pentagram Adorned Wand | Arms Lore | The wand is pretty standard among other wands you may have seen. The twin shaft is made of cedar and is crested with an intricate pentagram made of etched rock, inlaid with blueish crystals. |
| Ritual Tome | Necromancy | The large tome is adorned with a pentagram, not uncommon to many arcane items found throughout Britannia. There appear to be pages upon pages of ritualistic instructions and incantations, none of which are in a familiar language. |
| Scourge | Provocation | Not unlike tools used to provoke a response from an intended victim, this whip is studded with beads of hard rock. The leather is stained deep red from repeated self use. |
