Ultar

The name Ultar appears from time to time in Revolution games. In Lure of the Temptress, Ultar the barbarian is sitting having a pint in one of the pubs.

• Furthermore, there's an ad for Ultar's Eatery on one of the LINC menus.

Turnvale

Another Lure of the Temptress reference is found in the game manual. Turnvale, the setting of LOTT, is mentioned a number of times, including:
