AWWW FIDDLE STICKS
Baba lysaga in her hatred of the werecrows and their efforts against her son Brought the spirit of a terrible and unknowably powerful nightbeast from the screaming abyss and such is her magical power that she even bound the creature of chaos to her will, binding it within the caged corpse of the daughter of the were ravens whom she had kidnapped and tortured, the evils she committed worked as hexes and the entity assembled from the rusted metal of the cage and ragged cloth a nightmarish scarecrow body The nightbeast she bound was a large part of a primal abyssal god of fear, a voice stealer, the primordial fear of death that all life posesses, the pure magical power this act required would have immediately destroyed any lesser witch, Pretty much anything, really, binding a semi god of pure chaos is no easy feat -
BABA LYSAGA STRAHD MUMBY
she hates the wereravens cause idk they dont like strahd and maybe helped organise a rebellion or somethign only real change from the book is the scarecrows and stuff she cooked up, at least so far -
The cook Beeg Cook
you had a drawing of this guy somewhere but oh well an old lizard folk, retired barbarian, but his passion is cooking, and he creates the most delicous cuisine of all time out of the strangest ingredients, his specialty was human faces for a time, but serving on the STEEL HIPPO he has had to resort to more, pedestrian fare in order to appease his picky customers, still, he loves to cook, and even humble gruel, even basic porridge and stews can always be spiced up bits of something, or someone that used to be alive channel tahm kench? or slimecicle fish cop -
big sea monster dude
While the dead ships surrounding ebbercharus are a mighty foe, they are mere copies of a true leviathan -
King Leoric
A forgotten king from the endless wars of Ebbercharus, was the last rival to be put down once the von zarovichs made their dark pact with the liches, and handed over their rule to the undead horrors of the ethereal plane was slain by Strahd himself, his remains were taken as a trophy by strahd, to eventually be placed with his slain soldiers in a carelessly built crypt in the svalich woods where castle ravenloft would one day be built, strahd connected his dungeons to the crypt, flooding them with skeletons, though these where no threat for him, he still visits king leoric, taunting his vengeful spirit -
Nature god man
the music of thunder and a gust of wind. many blasts of lightning striking the demons corpse and the remnants of the portal starting a fierce forest fire, a inhumanly tall, slightly taller than doug, divinely muscled man appears, his beard is long and the colour of autumn leaves and his eyes glow a fierce green colour, almost emerald, but some how brighter and more powerful, he is clad in a toga of animal furs and bones, and adorning his head are a crown of regal antlers of white and gold,his hands are covered in white bark and one of themhe holds a strange floating sapling for a plant completely unfamiliar to you, this is a fairly reclusive deity, and by far one of the most important ones, he has near complete control over the cycles of life and death,rebirth,nature and her wrath, lightning, earthquakes,bush fires, wild creatures all fall under his domain, lightning was stolen from him by the dragons so he couldnt do much smiting but his power is returning lately and he aims to use it, he did not fill the world with so many wondrous creatures to see them devoured by dark powers, if only many other gods shared his drive -
Shafaris
young tiefling girl, just grown into womanhood for a while she lived as a mistrusted but ultimately happy child then the towerheads came, her parents were burned as devil worshippers and she was to be dragged to the dungeons beneath the holy tower, and there slain to condemn her soul to the underworld -
The Spyder of the swamps
once an incredibly powerful Vampire, an old lady love of strahd, during his brief years wandering ebbercharus as a vampire at the behest of the liches he cemented their rule and installed the vamprie courts as governors over the humans after strahd returned to his homeland, bringing barovia once again under his grim opression and leaving the vampires without a clear leader, the countess was the most powerful vampire by far still in ebbercharus, she established her home in a nice stretch of land lovingly named by the downtrodden populace, the Necroswamps -
The captain The captain man! he be the captain tho
mercenary dude, so he doesnt really have a problem with tieflings -
The carrion mountain
Horrible lich experiment, they took a titan of the earth, gutted it, and ressureccted it, it now serves as a walking fortress for one of the stronger liches, a gigant cathedral like lair built into the rocky crags of its back once a tusked giant of the earth, a volcanic titan, it resisted the liches of ebbercharus when they first spread the malaise over the continent, after a mighty battle, the titan was no match for the combined magical might of a full council of liches, even in there weakened state after their eruption into the mortal realm, they gutted the titan, grafted as many corpses to it as they could, reshaping it, and built a temple of evil on top of it -
The Dark tower
technically a building, but is still worshipped as a sentient god, in charge of keeping the gross demons and shit in hell and the cool jesus approved stuff uncorrupted -
The light
The literal sun, mr "holier than thou" himself, lives in THE Dark tower and is kinda the core god of the pantheon, as he is the most widely worshipped, he watches over all of creation during the day, and holds power over fire , especially torches, not so much if its in a forest but he gets along with nature dude so they can share, He is deeply distrustful of what is hidden from him, ie creatures of the night,demons etc and often teaches that they should be destroyed, as a result fire/sunlight is usually more effective against these creatures His house is so holy its worshipped by thousands,the towerheads who he recruits as soldiers and "guards" for a place they cant visit unless they die -
were raven daughter lydia? idk
eldest/youngest daughter of a main wereraven character, idk havent decided yet, basically she got captured, adventurers are sent out "youll recognise her, she has pale skin, black hair, like us, bright green eyes and a ring/locket thing she got kidnapped by baba lysaga, tortured, stuffed in a cage, then her corpse used as a container for an abyssal semi god of fear, oh boy

The gang of mischiefs, fresh from retrieving strange relics from across the seas for the lord of a small burdgeoning city
only for the lord to be assassinated and the relics stolen, the party killed the assasin and regained the relics, though with no idea as to what they do, after a brief run in with a hag, and some minor acts of robbery/murder and agitating an entire ork horde, they found themselves forced to flee saltstone, finding themselves in an isolated forest, apparently filled with cultists, after brief encounters with beasts and men touched and mutated by the abyss, the only way to defeat them a sacred weapon, a boon from a powerful god of nature after a fierce battle with a lesser demon they learned of a way to cure the abyssal corruption within a party member, taking them to the distant lands of ebbercharus, ruled by the undead, and within that bleak hellscape, a powerful man who they must kill for the gods blessings
