The Dark Eye

The Dark Eye (German: Das Schwarze Auge) is the most popular German role-playing game, a fantasy-themed game similar to Dungeons & Dragons.

Setting

The setting of The Dark Eye consists of four continents on a planet named Dere in German and Ethra in English (anagrams of Erde and Earth, respectively. These continents are named Aventuria, Myranor, Rakshazar and Uthuria. In addition, there is a hollow world named Tharun which originally was presented as the hollow interior of the planet but later retconned to be in a pocket dimension.

Aventuria

Aventuria (German Aventurien) is the main game world of the game. Aventuria is a small continent (smaller than Europe) which nevertheless runs the full gamut, climate-wise, from arctic tundra in the north to tropical rain forest in the south. The cultures of Aventuria resemble various cultures of Late Medieval Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In addition, there are Elves, Dwarves and other fantastic races, making Aventuria a typical EDO world.
