The Game
Release, platforms and the remake
Choose a camp
Trapped under the Barrier, the prisoners split into rival camps. Your allegiance shapes everything.
Old Camp
The Old Camp is the oldest, largest and wealthiest of the three convict settlements in the Valley of Mines, built around a fortified former royal castle.
New Camp
The New Camp is a breakaway settlement founded roughly five years before the game by people who grew dissatisfied with Gomez's rule in the Old Camp.
Brotherhood of the Sleeper (Swamp Camp)
The Brotherhood of the Sleeper, based in the Swamp Camp (also called the Sect Camp), is the third settlement in the Valley of Mines and the most overtly religious.
Faces of the Colony
Allies, rivals and mages who define the Nameless Hero's story.
Nameless Hero
The Nameless Hero is the unnamed, customizable protagonist of Gothic and the player's avatar.
Diego
Diego is a high-ranking Shadow of the Old Camp and one of the Nameless Hero's closest and most enduring friends.
Xardas
Xardas is a necromancer and, in lore, the thirteenth and most powerful of the mages who created the Barrier over the Valley of Mines.
Gomez
Gomez is the most powerful of the Ore Barons, ruler of the Old Camp, and the most powerful man inside the Barrier—the secondary antagonist of Gothic.
Know your prey — and predators
From lowly scavengers to the horrors of the swamp, learn what hunts the valley.
The Sleeper
The Sleeper is the central antagonist of Gothic and the slumbering deity worshipped by the Brotherhood of the Sleeper.
Bloodfly
A giant predatory insect of the swamp and humid forests whose poisonous sting and darting flight make it a pest best dropped from range.
Demon
A summoned creature of Beliar's realm — fast, powerful and among the most lethal foes inside the Colony.
Fire Lizard
A dangerous fire-spitting reptile of the Orc lands, prized by alchemists for the tongue that lets a hero brave flame.
World & Lore
The Barrier
