GOTHIC
A community field guide to the penal colony beneath the Barrier. Three camps, one nameless prisoner, and a valley full of ore, blood, and old magic. Everything you need to survive the mines is here.
The Colony
No one ever escapes.
A magical Barrier seals the Mining Valley from the rest of Khorinis. The king's prisoners dig ore for his war and cannot leave — and in that cage, the convicts built a society of their own.
You arrive as a nameless prisoner with nothing. Three camps vie for the ore and the power it buys: the Old Camp, the New Camp of free miners and Water Mages, and the Swamp Camp of the Sleeper's Brotherhood. Whom you serve is the first real choice of many.
This wiki maps the whole of it — the quest lines, the creatures that hunt the dark, the runes of the six Circles of Magic, and every weapon, trainer, and hidden cache in the Valley.
