The Dark Eye
Aventuria (the continent on which the game is set) was first introduced to the English-language market through a series of computer games and novels and later under the name "Realms of Arkania". The trademark "Realms of Arkania" was owned by the now-defunct Sir-tech Software, Inc., which spurred the name change to "The Dark Eye"; Fantasy Productions was unable to obtain the trademark. In April 2007, Ulisses Spiele assumed the TDE pen-and-paper licence from Fantasy Productions.
