I am known amongst the shrouded mists and the whispering souls as Alexandra Zarovan, but to the uninitiated, the unacquainted, and the unwary, I adopt the guise of Cassandra. A daughter of the enigmatic Vistani, I bear the weight of my twenty-eight winters, each a testimony to the myriad paths my feet have trodden. Only recently have I found myself once more amidst the cursed and forsaken expanse of Barovia, a land that moans under the yoke of its own doomed legacy.
