Lands of the Core

Domain Barovia color map.jpg

This is the Realm of Strahd Von Zarovich. There are several small towns in the realm.

Barovia and Castle Ravenloft

(A) Old Svalich Road

Black pools of water stand like dark mirrors about
the muddy roadway. A pall of thick, cold mist
spreads over the ground. Giant tree trunks stand
guard on both sides of the road, their branches
clawing at the mists. In every direction the fog
grows thicker and the forest seems more oppressive.

The road seems threatening but is actually quite safe.
Strahd’s servants do not generally venture beyond the gates
of Barovia, so the PCs do not have any significant encounters along the way.

(B) Gates of Barovia

Gray in the fog, high stone pillars loom up from
the impenetrable woods on both sides of the road.
Huge iron gates hang from the stonework, dew
clinging to their rusting bars. Standing before the
pillars are two stone statues of armed guardians
with wicked polearms. Their carved heads lie
among the weeds at their feet, neatly broken from
the stone shoulders.

If the PCs approach within 50 feet from the outside, the
gates screech open slowly. After the PCs pass through (or
retreat to a distance greater than 50 feet), the gates close
again with a loud clang. Approaching from the Barovia
side does not cause the gates to open, and in fact they are
difficult (Strength DC 28) to force open from that side.
Characters can circle around the gates to leave Barovia if
they wish, although they might have to contend with the
mists (see page 49).
