Whispers in the Mist: The Curse of Strahd | 2024 Rules

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Barovia is a land trapped in mist, ruled by the cruel vampire lord, Strahd von Zarovich. As you step into this realm, you quickly realize there’s no easy way out. The villagers speak of an ancient curse and a dark prophecy that holds the key to breaking Strahd’s power. Your journey will take you through haunted forests, cursed villages, and the looming presence of Castle Ravenloft. You will face terrifying creatures, uncover dark secrets, and decide who to trust in a land where hope is scarce. Strahd is always watching, and he plays a deadly game where your every move could lead to salvation or doom. Will you break the curse that binds Barovia, or become yet another lost soul in Strahd’s domain?
