	'''New Magincia''' is one of the [[Cities and Towns]] of Ultima Online and the successor of the city of '''Magincia''' that is destroyed by demons during the [[Warriors of Destiny]] event cycle. It is on an island, and is accessible via [[Moongate]] or boat travel.		In Progress...

	~~Depending on whom and when you ask, the city represents the [[Virtue]] of [[Humility]] or the Sin of [[Anti-Virtues\|Pride]] (Humility's evil opposite).~~

	During the Fall of 2007, Magincia was attacked by demons (see [[Magincia Invasion]]) as part of the [[Warriors of Destiny]] event cycle, following the traditional Ultima lore which holds that the city is to be destroyed for its Pride.

	On most of the major populated [[shard]]s, the invasion was defeated the week of December 2, 2007, though the city was largely laid waste and ruined almost entirely. Pieces of it are available as items called [[rubble]] and are used by some as decoration.

	On shards that "won" the invasion, there is a ferry from [[Trinsic]]. On shards that lost, such as [[Siege Perilous]], Magincia was only accessible by boat. During the [[In the Shadow of Virtue]] event cycle, [[Shard of the Crystal of Duplicity\|shards of the crystal of duplicity]] that are recovered from the [[Virtuebane]] duplicates are used to create a [[moongate]] and link the city to rest of the [[Britannia]].

	~~==Lore==~~
	~~===Early History===~~
	On the central island between [[Buccaneer's Den]] and [[Moonglow]], Magincia was a natural target for plunder and magical side-effects. Ironically, it was the latter that tend to reduce the frequency of the former.

	Perhaps the best way to describe Magincia at that time is "bright", but perhaps that is too kind. "Gaudy" might be more appropriate. Home to the largest [[diamond]] mine in the realm, the residents of Magincia had experienced the sensation of too much money. One of the many ways in which they had found to address this problem involved constructing ridiculously ornate buildings. Structurally sound shops would often had additional columns and supports solely to provide additional places in which to inlay gemstones and gold. The street signs were lettered in real silver, while the local watch wore badges that use precious metals to indicate rank.

	~~===After the Fire===~~
	Traditional Ultima lore, from the single-player games, called for this city to be destroyed by demons as a kind of punishment for its pride, with a demon lord named [[Virtuebane]] leading the unholy charge.

	~~On the "[[shards]]" of UO, however, the city avoided this fate, until Fall of 2007.~~

	''"Yet...,"'' stated UO.com, ''"history cannot be denied. It may be diverted, delayed - even altered to a degree - but never denied. Shadows have begun moving in an undercurrent as vast as the ethereal void itself, a darkness that once set upon a Britannia many of us have never known . . . Yes, Magincia will burn."''

	~~And so it did.~~

	~~===Magincia Invasion===~~
	~~:''Main Article:[[Magincia Invasion]]''~~
	Following these attacks, which sadly saw [[Player]]s helping the attacks along in order to maximize the spawn of special loot known as [[Rubble]], Magincia on most shards is a burnt-out wasteland, a shadow of its former self.

	On shards that "won" the invasion, at first the use of transportation spells into the city remained disabled, but a ferry from [[Trinsic]] still existed, and there was the implication that there is hope for the city's future. On the shards that lost, the city looked about the same, but the sense of hope did not exist, and there was no ferry from Trinsic.

	However, early in 2008, transportation spells (including Gate) were re-enabled to and from Magincia, and a teleporter was put in place near the Trinsic docks. On shards that won the invasion, the ferry service is also still available, though is largely supplanted by the teleporter and the use of transportation magics. Moongate travel to Magincia was a one-way trip as the gate was corrupted and could not be used to depart the island following the invasion.

	~~The [[Magincia Invasion]] was later revealed to be part of the [[Warriors of Destiny]] event cycle, heralding the coming of the [[Shadowlords]].~~

	~~===Rebuilding of Magincia===~~
	~~[[File:New_magincia_plots.png\|thumb\|upright\|right\|200px\|Map of the plot locations of New Magincia.<br>'''''Click on the image to enlarge'''''.]]~~
	Ultima lore calls for the city to be eventually replaced by '''New Magincia''', a city based on Humility rather than Pride. The city is rebuilt during the [[In the Shadow of Virtue]] event cycle, whether based on Pride or Humility is a subject for debate.

	[[Britannia]]n forces, motivated by revenge for the loss of their beloved [[Queen Dawn\|Queen]], set foot to [[Magincia]] in late March, 2011 to put an end to the threat of [[Bane Chosen]] forces and their leader [[Virtuebane]] once and for all. [[Ethereal Warrior]]s commisioned by the [[BNN: The Begining of the End\|Meer Council]] joined these forces from the north of the town. After a long fight, all of the duplicates of [[Virtuebane]] and dozens of [[Ancient Hellhound]]s are killed. [[Virtuebane]] is lured to the black moongate near the altar he set foot to [[Sosaria]] by the [[Britannia]]n forces while [[Humble Pie\|special pies]] which are distributed by [[Ricardo]] are thrown to further humiliate him. He is sent back to his own realm and the black moongate along with the altar is destroyed.

	[[Shard of the Crystal of Duplicity\|Shards of the crystal of duplicity]] that are recovered from the [[Virtuebane]] duplicates are used to create a [[moongate]] and link it to rest of the [[Britannia]].

	In order to raise funds for the reconstruction and restoration of [[Magincia]], the provisional government of Britannia conducted a [[Magincia Plot Guidelines\|lottery]] for purposes of granting the right to construct private residences and shops around the island which is followed by the [[New Magincia Bazaar]].
