In the '' Ultima '' game universe, a moongate is a magical means of space or time travel that can be used to go to any place or time.

Several beings have used the moongates to enter Britannia, including Lord British , the Avatar , Dupre , Iolo , Geoffrey , Jaana , Katrina , Mariah and Julia , who were all natives of Earth (not to mention friends of the original designer).

There are four kinds of moongates:
  • Blue - These will transport one across the world. Moongates appear in places where Moonstone s are buried (traditionally, there are eight moongate locations near each of the major city), and the destination of the travel is based on the phases of Trammel and Felucca , planet Britannia 's moons. One moon determines when the moongate will be visible, while the other determines the target moongate. It should be noted that the behavior of blue moongates isn't consistent in games; For example, in '' Ultima VII '', all moongates are constantly visible.

  • Red - Requires an Orb Of The Moons . Only two Orbs are known to exist, one carried by Lord British and the other sent to the Avatar by the gargoyles. Activation allowed for travel to any destination, which was determined by where the Orb was used. These allow the traveller to travel across worlds, most notably between Earth and Britannia.

  • Silver - A rare form of moongate. It allows time travel. The Time Lord was able to create them and they were involved in the pursuit of Minax in '' Ultima II ''. It is also possible to create them with the Orb of the Moons, as done in Martian Dreams

  • Black - Black Gates allows travel through space and dimensions. They can be produced by Electric ally charging Blackrock . These moongates were needed by Guardian in order to invade other worlds.
