About the adventure
The land of Barovia is a cursed and desolate place. Surrounded by mist, the realm is a prison for the dreaded and terrible. The one who stands above it all is her majesty, Strahd. The vampire, known as the Devil to some and a god to others, seeks her freedom. Trapping many who wander into Barovia, Strahd yearns for either a successor or a new pawn to use against her enemies. With her past a mystery, the players must figure out how to slay her and how to escape Barovia. The following touchstones for this game include Castlevania, Dracula, Bloodborne, Hellsing, and Hellboy.
