Game summary

The Chronicles of Myrtana is a series of mods for the cult classic game Gothic 2: Night of the Raven. In our mod, you will witness the Kingdom of Myrtana under the rule of king Rhobar II. The action of the first part of the modification, titled "Archolos", takes place 10 years before the events of Gothic I, during The Second War against the Orcs and before the Magic Barrier separated the Colony from the rest of the world. You will have an opportunity to explore the beautiful island of Archolos where the kingdom’s most valuable grapes grow on the high slopes of the mountains. An island of lovely sights and a center of trade... marred by a bloody conflict ominously looming on the horizon.
