Ultima Thule is set in the unforgiving and strange lands of the Arctic Circle in the year of 1881. Our story follows the crew of H.M.S. Hestia, who have been sent to this place of isolation and mystery in the name of science and exploration as the ‘Polar Year’ is set to commence. The Admiralty has stressed the importance of retaining the record of ‘furthest north’, most recently accomplished by Commander Albert Hastings Markham in 1876. This achievement is sought out by the American expedition, who are additionally participating in the ‘Polar Year’ scientific study. This land can be brutal, many men have gone missing, frozen, or collapsed from hunger or exhaustion. It is not the biggest that survive, but those with the strongest will. Whether aboard the Hestia to escape a past life or to broaden the current one, each man is locked into the hardship and struggle that will be surviving in ‘The Great White Silence’. Make your mark in British History.
