Welcome to the dark ages.
The Dark Eye:
Drakensang is the first PC adaptation of Germany's most popular and
long-standing pen and paper RPG franchise in 10 years. In the last twenty years
a thriving
The Dark Eye community of millions has grown, as its fantasy
universe of Aventuria has been expanded in books, board games and computer
games. And now with an incredible attention to detail, the world of Aventuria
comes to live on the PC in
Drakensang in state-of-the-art 3D graphics
that bring to life the epic vistas and stunning variety of this one-of-a-kind
fantasy world.
The Story
In Aventuria, the legendary continent of heroes, adventure and mysteries,
something is on the move. It is an event which role players have been eagerly
awaiting ever since the
Nordland Trilogy. The story centers around
Ferdok, an important trading city on the Great River. The feared female lancers
of Ferdok and Ferdok's famous beer have given the city a reputation throughout
the continent and the humans here live in harmony with the dwarves. But despite
the cheerful and peaceful atmosphere, the peace is now being shaken by a
mysterious series of murders. Sinister figures are pursuing their dark schemes,
while the fear among the population grows with every new murder. And while the
adventures are still pondering whether the crimes are connected to the
proclamation made by the Church of Hesinde on the tenth anniversary of the
Dragonquest, they themselves are dragged into the mysterious events by a very
particular murder.
Character Creation
The Dark Eye: Drakensang provides a choice of 10 archetypes for creating
characters. These are pre-generated gaming figures that already have a
background story and for which all basic properties, talents and abilities are
predefined. This is particularly helpful to newcomers, who are not familiar with
Dark Eye rules, giving them an easy entry into the game. Within these,
areas of specialization (e.g. warrior magician - specialization: charlatan) open
up a huge range of possibilities for choosing a personal gaming character and
then entering the great adventure. In addition, there is an expert mode
available to experienced players. In this area of character generation, all
properties of your hero can be altered individually and adjusted even more
precisely to fit your personal gaming style.
