Information by Ismark the Lesser
- To lift the curse, we have to kill The devil Strahd
- Stories say that the curse is the punishment for forgotten sins of ancestors.
- Creatures of Strahd wander lands at night.
- There are missing children, it is always cloudy.
- If one tries to leave Barovia: get lost in suffocating mist.
At Tser pool encampment, Carmen tells us tales about the lands:
- A mighty wizard came along around 1 year ago (The Mad Wizard). He wanted to build an army against the vampire in Ravenloft. Fighting Strahd, he was thrown into the river Ivlis, next to the Tser Falls. His body was never found, even though the Vistani climbed down and searched for him.
- Strahd is of royal bloodline, he died centuries ago. Barovians call him Devil Strahd, but he is undead.
Information by The Abbot

- he cannot leave these lands.
- tragic past between him and his wife?
- fight the “root curse” by providing Vasilka as his bride
- Alle die hier sterben können den Ort auch als Seele nicht verlassen.

Teleporation
- Wenn du dich aus dieser Region teleportieren willst wirst du enden wie des Metzgers Lamm
- Das ist einer Katze bei Viktor Vallakovitch passiert
- Der Zauber der uns in dieser Region hält schränkt nit nur den Weg über den Landpfad ab sondern verhindert jegliche Teleportation. The Abbot vermutet dass es ein Fluch ist der auf Strahd lastet.
