Castle above the Mist

The mists of Barovia draw close. The castle gates swing open, but the lord is not home.

Opening scene

The cold fog clings to your boots. The iron gates of Castle Ravenloft creak open, revealing a dark courtyard. The gargoyles above seem to watch your every step. A single lantern burns in the entryway, but there are no servants, and the banquet hall is set for guests that never arrived.

World atmosphere

Barovia is a valley trapped in a pocket dimension, ruled by the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich. The land is filled with mist, wolves, and terrified villagers. The castle stands on a high cliff, overlooking the valley.

Ticking clock

The castle gates will lock at midnight, trapping you inside with the castle's denizens.

Your hero will have their own personal connection to this story — it's chosen at random when you create your character.
