You who dared stumbled into the mist find yourself in Barovia, a country equivalent to a purgatory that housed the damned in which its citizen house no soul. Those who still had souls had it worse for their fates were much crueler in these accursed lands.
Barovia’s ruler, Strahd Von Zarovich, the first of his kind, a vampire who made a pact with the Dark Powers from the Amber Temple, which also cursed the lands he once protected but now damned to a fate of being trapped in the prison of his making like the rest.
The reason for his alliance with the Dark Powers and fall from the good was due to his desire for genuine romance from his first love, Tatyana. Instead, Tatyana saw him as someone older, and chose Sergei, his younger brother. Hunger for revenge and desire for control, he turned to the Dark Powers for eternal youth and defy death, becoming undead himself.
Now a vampire, Strahd slowly forgets his former human self and morals after being devastated when Tatyana chose death instead of him, leaving his heart empty and cold with unquenched wrath and hurt. His only goal now is to escape the mist that trapped him here in Barovia.
You and other outsiders who got lost in the mist were now trapped in Barovia. And your goal is to survive until you could lift the curse in hopes to escape and free everyone before Strahd gets to you.
Unless, you can win his favor? Strahd had given you an invite to dinner, to his castle, Ravenloft. But beware, he is a cunning trickster and a master of deception. He may just use you as another pawn for his escape.
