Barovia
Profile
Description: Barovia is a land of steep, forested valleys and knife-backed ridges, its rivers running dark beneath watchful pines. Above them all broods Castle Ravenloft, the cliff-crowned citadel that serves as both capital and symbol: unyielding, austere, and ever awake. Since peace with Lemuria, the roads have begun to breathe again—palings mended, bridges retimbered, fields reclaimed from thorn. Krezk, the kingdom’s lone notable town, has doubled its palisade and now hosts caravans, workshops, and a Lemurian mission of engineers and healers. Surveyors mark out new hamlets along the valleys, and the first bell-foundries ring cautiously at dusk.
Heraldry & Faith
Barovia’s standard bears a black raven on a crimson field, rimmed in silver, with red roses and dark thorns twining the edge—a pledge of vigilance, costly hope, and remembrance. Old chapel lights burn once more across the valleys: the Church of the Morning Sun gains faithful with each safe harvest, while ancestral house-shrines are tended again. The Order of the Weeping Rose—penitent knights and clerics—keeps watch in Krezk’s wards, tending graves, healing the sick, and holding the peace.
