Aventurien
Aventurien is a mediaeval fantasy world with dozens of different cultures, from the nomadic Niveses in the cold north to the wild Mohas of the southern jungles. The biggest and most powerful nation is the Mittelreich, reigned by the beautiful and tought queen Emer. The Mittelreich lies under a permanent threat of annihilation. In the north the Orks unite under the sword of the mighty chieftain Sadrak Whassoi to overthrow all Humanity. In the east the descendants of the evil arch mage Borbarad tear deep into the Mittelreich territorys, and in the west the independent Horas Nation, once a part of the Mittelreich, is growing stronger and stronger. In the south lies only the great Khom Desert with its wild and relentless horse riders – the Novadis.
Aventurien is the world of Germanys most successful roleplaying game DSA (Das Schwarze Auge – The Dark Eye). There is much more about the world and its inhabitants than can be described here – it is full of flavour and adventure. So much in fact that we decided to let our new table top game Armalion also take place in Aventurien. With the table top rules you can replay every single conflict in Aventurien in detail. And even better, the game gave us the opportunity to release masses of aventuric miniatures to enhance both the experience of the roleplaying game and the table top. These are our latest releases:
Maraskani Mercenaries

The inhabitants of the big island east of Aventurien are called Maraskani. Their culture is a uniqe mixture of japan, greek and mexican elements. They are used to the deadly jungle of their island and have been reigned by the Mittelreich for some hundred years. Now the island is in the posession of the descendants of Borbarad, and most of the maraskani warriors fight as mercenaries for the dark wizzards. The Maraskani Mercenaries are clad in their classic wooden armour and fight with Tuzak Swords – deadly two handed swords. For ranged combat they are equipped with throwing discusses which they can throw with surprising accuracy.
Golgarites

Golgari is a mythical raven who protects the dead souls on the way to their resting places. The Golgarites are an order of knighthood who fight in the name of Boron, the god of dead. Their duty is to ensure the peace of the dead and to slay all evil undead and the necromancers who summoned them. They are brave and battle proven warriors and fight with holy weapons. However the odds they will never run from the terror of an undead horde but continue to do their duty to the last man.
