Adventure Overview
Under the furious dance of storm clouds, Count Strahd von Zarovich stands atop Castle Ravenloft’s battlements, his gaze fixed upon Barovia. For centuries, Strahd has ruled with an iron grip, his soul bound to this dark prison. But tonight, his eternal vigilance is turned to you—the newest arrivals. He has awaited adventurers like you, drawn through the mists to become pawns in his sinister game.

Prepare to enter Legends of the Domains: A Curse of Strahd Adventure, a campaign that will test your courage, cunning, and resolve on a journey from levels 1 to 20. This is not just a game—it’s an epic tale of gothic horror where every decision you make will determine the fate of Barovia and the survival of your soul. Inspired by the timeless terror of Strahd von Zarovich and the immersive world of Ravenloft, this adventure will draw you into a dark, twisted reality where the line between life and death blurs.

The Journey
Your journey through Barovia is inextricably tied to Strahd himself. He is more than a vampire; he is a master strategist, a powerful sorcerer, and a prisoner who seeks freedom. The curse that binds him is part of a greater dark tapestry woven by the mysterious Dark Powers of the mists. Now, with your arrival, Strahd may have found the key to escape.

But Strahd’s plans are never simple. He will test your strength, twist your desires, and use your fears against you. The question is not whether you will face Strahd, but when. His ultimate goal is freedom from Ravenloft, and if he succeeds, the consequences will be felt far beyond Barovia. The fate of not just one land, but many, rests in your hands.
