More about the story:

Jarkendar – Once untamed and forgotten part of the island of Khorinis, now its teeming with all sorts of inhabitants. Since Raven’s death the region has become no longer non recognizable by anyone. Just on contrary it has gained fame.
Beside camps of Pirates and Bandits, strong Orcs camp is established. Also the Water Mages under the command of Saturas come to the Valley, who wants to explore inside of temple of Adanos.

Meanwhile Pirates have a new cruel leader – Hannibal. In short amount of time he becomes a daredevil of local area. He even dares to attack the Khorinis and, burns down the harbour city. Special expedition of Paladins, command under the hand of Lord Hagen, venture to the valley to do away with Pirates.

However in all of these events the worst is that to the region which has belonged to Adanos since ages, herds of Beliar creatures comes flooding the region. Nobody knows what is causing this even the Water Mages are helpless… Whole situation falls under more mysterious circumstances, because Beliars’ herds began to come, while a peasant found stone tablet with ancient inscriptions. Examined by one of the Water Mage, it turns out to be priceless relict describing the hidden crypt full of treasures and wealth. The crypt bears name – The Golden Gate. Unfortunately on the next day the stone tablet goes missing under mysterious circumstances.
The Nameless Hero after he leaves Myrtana, where war finally was over, wishes to get back to Khorinis. He wanted to recall old good times of his adventures. When he comes to the city he learns all about situation. Of course he decides to set out to the Jharkendar…
Which camp do I join?
Whom will I help?
What’s behind the plague of Beliar?
How to get to the mysterious crypt?
You will find those and other answers playing mod – THE GOLDEN GATE.

In that shortly summarized way, draft of the plot of the G2 NotR modification – present itself.


The Paladins Camp
It will be regular camp of the paladins headed by Lord Hagen. Few dozen paladins and few militiamen live in the camp though some of them are trusted Lord Hagen’s men. Beside we will meet there few inhabitants of Khorinis who trade or help paladins. In the mod we can venture into adventure beginning as a regular knight and, being promote to the governor of Khorinis!

The Water Mages Camp
Six Magicians are in the camp. Each of them examines something else. The Water Mages Camp is temporarily set because their aim is get to the temple of Adanos (which is under control of the bandits). The bandits do not want agree upon it so, the mages must wait till events take its place, hoping that they finally reach their goal.

The Bandits Camp
The bandits since death of Raven have gone through serious metamorphose. Bandit Alvaro became a chief of the bandits after Thorus left for the Myrthana. He made a lot of changes in the camp. After all he divided bandits into guilds: guild of hunters, guild of guards and guild of the gold mine supervisors. Apart from that there are no slaves in the mine but well paid diggers. The hunters take care of food provisions and skins, the guards protect the camp from beasts’ attacks and, mine supervisors take care of digger safety as well as they administrate diggers’ work. Alvaros’ and other bandits’ aim is to receive pardon. They want to start a new life and settle down somewhere in peaceful place. That’s why arrival of the Paladins and the Water Mages come in handy for them. They hope that somehow they will receive reprieve.

The Orcs Camp
The orcs have their camp in the canyon just like it was in G2 NotR but, now it is much bigger. Many Orcs came to Jharkendar. Most of them settled down in the canyon and the rest near the House of Priests. Varek is the Orcs chief but the five highest orcs shamans are of great significance as well. They spend most of their time in the former Scholars Library which now serves as temple. However they do not worship Beliar there. Now the Orcs worship the Spirit of their Ancestors who grant them security and protection. They turn away from Beliar, when they learned that, he enslaved and used them to reach his vile aims. That’s why the Orcs have now hostile attitude toward Beliar’s creatures and are friends of humans (apart from camp of pirates with whom they’re fighting a little war). In the Orcs camp there is arena on which fights are arranged.

The Pirates Camp
The Pirates Camp completely does not resemble the camp we know from the add-on Night of the Raven. It’s not only about how it looks but is about the pirates attitude. From former Greg’s crews only three are in the camp. The rest of them were killed on orders of cruel Hannibal or went to the island, on which there are headquarters of all pirates under command of Hannibal. Because Greg and Henry didn’t want to accept new superior Hannibal ordered to hang them. Each of the pirates is cruel and ruthless who jump at occasion to plunder someone’s purse. That’s why being in this camp one must be on his guard all the time. Every one of those cutthroats has a numerous human lives on his ‘no conscience’. Only strength and cleverness make that one gain more respect in this camp.

@ Xardas Bruder

great, awesome, wonderfull! thank you for it! what abou german translation?

[Sentarion]

We don't know German enough so we can do only English translation But maybe someone will be able to translate it from English...

[Marcello]

I could translate it as soon as the english version is available...
I've added your modification in this thread Russische & polnische Modifikationen
and here under the polish section Polnische Modifikationen

[Sentarion]

That's great We'll try to do it as fast as possible, thanks for adding.

[catalinux]

Coming from the creators of Dark Mysteries? I can't wait for the English translation!

I already installed the Polish version, and I played it for a couple of minutes. I wont venture more into the game, as unfortunatelly I only recognized the word for potion, it has a similar form in my native languade, but I can say that I liked what I saw - the inventory, the spawn mechanism, the books of slayned animals/monsters and.. reputation?

From your presentation from the begining of the thread, I got interested in joining the bandits camp - I always liked the hunting side in Gothic games.

[Dragonslayer123]

Im looking forward to it. Right now playing through Dark Mysteries.

We are not creators of Dark Mysteries, we were just translating it Yes, there is a book of reputation for each camp, but we can join only to paladins, magicians or orcs.

[colaklausi]

dafür müsste ich von Xardas Bruder erstmal die scripte bekommen, was ich noch nicht habe. zudem fehlt mir im moment die zeit dazu....

[Sentarion]

Of course if you want I can send you scripts, however googlegerman translation will be rather poor... But as you wish, I can send scritps, but first I want to finish a patch what takes a few days.

[Sentarion]

sounds great! but i dont want to do a googlepatch for the community, only a real translation of your mod.

But from Polish or English?

[Eiskönig]

But from Polish or English?

From the english version (see post 4 of this thread).

[Colmar]

Great! I'm very happy about this news because I've been following this project since the beginning.
I've already played this mod for a little and I'm really waiting the English translation to understand something !

[EbonKnight]

I'd just like to say that I love you guys (both the mod authors and translators) - Dark Mysteries was an exceptional mod, and there are so many more great polish/russian/german mods we'll probably never get to play, so this is more than exciting news

[Sentarion]

We have translated about 50% of dialogues so far, so it's quite probable that we'll have the release this year

[TheEternal]

wow, good news, im looking forward to play that game. Looks fantastic from what i've seen so far.
