New Camp is one of the three camps in the penal colony of Khorinis in Gothic and Gothic Remake. It is a camp of people wanting to leave the colony. It is conjointly ruled by the Water mages, Lee and Lares.
Background
Lee, some of the magicians and other people from the Old Camp, dissatisfied with Gomez' reign, decided on leaving to create their own community where they won't be ruled over by an iron fist. The founding members were: Lares, Homer, Rice Lord and Lee being behind the entire initiative.
The camp was created at the other end of the valley, in the west. Another mine was discovered south of the settlement, and the Magicians of Water were allowed to safely study the Magic Ore and a way towards destroying The Barrier. They concluded that the barrier can be removed by using a great source of magic energy. An opportunity to trade with The King was dismissed in favor of gathering a giant Ore Mound, so one day it could be detonated along with the barrier.
Huge amounts of ore (which serves as a main currency in the colony) attracts a lot of thugs and thieves. Therefore the magicians made a deal with Lee and his people. They became the Mercenaries for the Magicians of Water, tasked with protecting them and the ore mound, so that one day they could execute their plans of escape and become free again. The camp has no formal leader, just heads of each individual guilds. It's also considered to be most dangerous camp in the colony, containing a lot of bandits and murderers.
Locations
New Camp has quite few places to visit. Those are: rife fields, tavern on the lake, main cave, guard tower and the Free Mine.
Rice Fields
Sizeable field where are the peasants are working tirelessly, governed by the Rice Lord. Everything collected here is used to feed the camp. The plantation is well hydrated thanks to the dam built by Homer, resulting in large quantities of rice being collected each day. Crops are stored inside the warehouse for later use. Working on the fields can be quite tiresome, and Rice Lord's thugs can be merciless in their job of keeping everyone working.
The Dam
A dam, the architect of which was Homer. It regulates the waterflow into the rice plantation. The creation of the dam caused a small lake to form, the middle of which was used to place a platform and building a tavern. The bottom of the lake hides few sunken huts, with their original purpose being unknown.
The Tavern
A tavern owned by a Rogue Silas. Favorite attraction for Rouges and Scrapers. Mainly features Rice Schnapps, distilled by Jeremiah.
Residential Cave
A giant cave hosting most of the people in the camp.
Water Mages' Cave
A place for the Magicians of Water to experiment, practice magic and study. Only privileged people have access to this part of the camp.
Ore Mound
Situated under the center of the residential cave. It is a result of a collective effort of the scrapers over the years.

Trivia
- Judging by how weak the first gate rogue guards are in Gothic (weaker than Old Camp's gate guards), their purpose may be to keep peasants in rather than keeping threats out.
