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 Medieval Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
