Does Ur Shak conquer Khorinis?

[HOWDOISHOOT]

This source cites Thorus talking about Ur Shak conquering the old castle and even the city of Khorinis:

http://gothic-universal.wikia.com/wiki/Siege_of_the_Old_Castle

When and where does Thorus speak of this?

Gothic 3. It is the story development that leads to the plot in Gothic 3.

I don't remember Thorus ever mentioning Ur-Shak in gothic 3 though. Maybe I should replay it.

He doesn't - as far as I know. He mentions that the orcs have overrun Khorinis - city and island.

What various Wiki editors do is that they complete the story bits in various ways according to what is known from different sources. Ur-Shak does not play any role in Gothic 3, and the Nameless Hero only meets Thorus at Trelis, not when he "arrives on the continent" by ship. The Wiki says "after he arrives on the continent", whatever that may mean. Thorus also doesn't mention Lord Hagen. The manual does. The manual also mentions the ship name Esmerelda.

Do you think the pirates that stole the Esmeralda in G3 are the same pirates that the nameless hero meets in Jharkendar in NotR?

Everything is possible. It could even be cut content. No ships in Gothic 3. No harbor for large ships. Not even small boats are available, not from Hatlod the boatbuilder in Silden either. A few islands east of Barakesh - strangely uninhabited, or with a small hut, and within you can find someone hanging.

Wiki entries are to be taken with a grain of salt. It would not be the first game where editors don't distinguish between the original games, external background story information, mods and franchise products, such as Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods and Arcania (aka Gothic 4).
