'''Nomad of Nowhere''' is a Western/Fantasy mash-up 2D animated web series which premiered on in March 2018 about a mysterious nomad traversing a western wasteland that hasn't seen magic in 100 years. Created by [[Georden Whitman]], inspired by an animation he made in college called “Sir Knight of Nothing,” about a mute knight who is much more of a lover than a fighter, it was developed with the [[Rooster Teeth Productions]] writers Jordan Cwierz, Miles Luna, and Eddy Rivas and Georden Whitman, with the idea changing the setting from medieval to a fantasy western.

Set in [[Land of Nowhere|Nowhere]], a Western wasteland, Nomad is the world's last magical being, which the bounty hunters are eager to capture. It premiered on March 16, 2018 for Rooster Teeth First members and on March 24, 2018 for the general public. It is "a western/fantasy mashup" following a Nomad who must avoid bounty hunters looking to score big and capture the world's last magical being.

The first promotional video for the series aired at the end of the ''[[RWBY]]'' Volume 5 finale alongside one for gen:LOCK. It is animated in Toon Boom Harmony.

Initially set for release on March 2, 2018, the premiere was pushed back two weeks to March 16, 2018 to give the animation team time to perfect the series animation. Season 1 will run for 12 episodes<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDQw4neggoE&feature=youtu.be&t=204</ref> with a mid-season break after the sixth on April 20,<ref>http://archive.is/kgNiV</ref> up until August 17.<ref>https://twitter.com/RoosterTeeth/status/1022881298854174722</ref>

A second season has been confirmed, however due to RT Animation's restructuring to focus on other shows, it is unlikely to be released until at least 2020.{{Cite}}

As of late-2019, creator Georden Whitman (who departed Rooster Teeth before Season 1 aired due to "creative differences") has heard no news about the show continuing. He has plans to create a comic series based on the original pilot "Sir Knight of Nothing," which will present and complete the story as originally intended.

On an episode of the podcast ''Talk CRWBY to Me'', Miles Luna revealed Kiersi Burkhart originally joined Rooster Teeth to work as a writer on Season 2 of ''Nomad of Nowhere'', before subsequently moving to ''RWBY'' Volume 7. Luna explained writing on Season 2 went "pretty far along," but was halted when the team decided it was not the right time to do another season (likely related to Rooster Teeth Animation's restructuring), although he could not say whether or not the show would continue at some point in the future.<ref>Talk CRWBY to Me. "[https://roosterteeth.com/watch/talk-crwby-to-me-season-1-8 Always Take Notes / The Rock Would Be Great On Me]." July 11, 2020.</ref>

In a September 2020 Tumblr post, in response to questions regarding ''Camp Camp''<nowiki/>'s future, Jordan Cwierz explained with the recent business restructuring, several of RT Animation's shows now fell under the RT Studios label, meaning they could no longer produce the shows on their own and were being shopped to potential partners. Cwierz noted that this applied to all shows they were trying to make on the studio side of things, specifically naming ''Nomad of Nowhere'' as an example, though he did not confirm if ''Nomad'' had found a producing partner or was actively being shopped.<ref>[https://imaginmation.tumblr.com/post/630245672348794880/squashing-camp-camp-rumors-misinformation Jordan's post.]</ref>

== Premise ==
''Nomad of Nowhere'' is about an infamous magic user with no name. For over a hundred years no one has seen him, only told tales of his great and terrible magic power. Bounty hunters Toth and Skout are on the hunt for him, along with a posse of Dandy Lions. Each lead ends up cold until finally they find the magic-user in a bramble forest. Not all is as it seems though when the sweet and innocent Skout meets the Nomad she finds not a scary monster but a sad lonely person, who only uses his magic to try and make friends.

The show depicts the adventures of the man known as the Nomad, the last being that can use the power of magic. A mysterious nomad traverses a western wasteland but a price on his head sends him on the run from captors and bounty hunters, who all want to score big when they bring in the world's last magical being.

==Cast and Characters==
;Main Characters

'''[[The Nomad]] (of Nowhere)''' is the namesake of the series. He has been introduced as mysterious, ancient and non-verbal. He appears to be kind-hearted and good despite the claims made by Captain Toth and Red Manuel, among others. He has the power to animate objects and plants, and though he is described as "magic" by Captain Toth, he has yet to display any other magical abilities and claims he has none. His home (until the end of The Dreaded Nomad) is in the yet-unnamed thorn forest.

'''[[Captain Toth]]''' is the leader of the Dandy Lions, a group of bounty hunters. She is presently under the direction of Don Paragon. (Voiced by Danu Uribe)

'''[[Skout]]''' is Captain Toth's weapons and supplies caddie. She is smart and resourceful but does not yet believe in herself or understand her strengths. She is loyal to Captain Toth, but it has not yet been revealed why. She is, so far, the only human ally of The Nomad. (Voiced by [[Elizabeth Maxwell]])

'''Jethro''' (Voiced by [[Ryan Haywood]]), '''Santi''' (Voiced by [[Eddy Rivas]]) and '''Null''' (Voiced by Stephen Fu) are three members of the Dandy Lions.

'''Red Manuel''' is a member of the Dandy Lions and is seemingly-antagonistic to Captain Toth and Skout. He appears to be the second-in-command to Captain Toth and her competition for her position as the leader of the Dandy Lions. (Voiced by Alejandro Saab)

'''Don Paragon''' is Captain Toth and Red Manuel's superior officer, and 'ruler' of the Oasis. (Voiced by Max Dennison)

'''[[El Rey]]''' is the ruler of Nowhere. His eponymous episode shows he was corrupted by magic and started draining the powers of all its users, with only the Nomad surviving (voiced by John Swasey).
