The web still remembers the Icebloods and the UDL: a 2015 post by Lord Skunk himself, rivals recalling UDL's rule of Mourning, and someone asking by name after Warraxe Iceblood. These are the finds, newest first.

From the Wayback Machine
A search of the Internet Archive in October 2026 turned up the UDL in Origin's own records and on the guild's early websites. Newest first:
| Date | Archived page | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 2002 | UDL Story Board forum | Vicious Rumor posting in the guild's roleplay story board. |
| Dec 2001 | UDL officers page | The Arch Shadow and Gatekeeper offices written down; the Gatekeeper of the Castle of Bones tracks every squire and their mentor and recommends them for knighting. |
| Jul 2001 | Naergoth's SB Vault interview | Before Siege Perilous went live, UDL was on Catskills and "the dominant guild of the shard." |
| Mar 2001 | UDL Ultima Online roster | Obsidian Scion and Terror listed among the Ancients, Kanien a Warlord, Samuell the Arch Lich, Zizon the Gatekeeper. Roster last updated January 22, 2001. |

| Sep 1999 | Origin's official guild registry: The Undead Lords | The Undead Lords [UDL] on Catskills. Guild master: Obsidian Scion. 24 members, 21 of them veterans. Roster includes Kanien (WarLord), Terror (Ancient Lich), Lector (High Priest), Savante, Scy, OrcSoul, Pepsi, Covenant and Guthwolf. At war with Chaos of Catskills, the ShadowClan Orcs and dozens more. The guild website was then groonesworld.com/UDL. |
| May 1999 | Origin's guild registry front page | The Undead Lords featured on the front page of the official UO guild registry. |
Still lost: the Dread City call. The "Town Cryer" was Origin's official player newspaper, in the Town Square section of owo.com, where players posted news and calls to arms. Only a few hundred of its pages survive in the archive, mostly from 1999 and later; the search read the guild registry and about a third of the surviving Town Cryer pages without finding the Dread City post. Lord Skunk does not appear by that name on the September 1999 Catskills roster, which may mean he was playing on another shard or under another name at the time.
Have a piece of the history?
If you saved Skunk's Dread City call, an old UDL post, or any screenshot of the Icebloods, post it on the UDL forums or bring it to the Discord.
