Castle Ravenloft
Information known to players:
Castle Ravenloft was precariously constructed on a 1,000 foot tall stone pillar called the Pillarstone of Ravenloft, with a narrow drawbridge connecting the stone with the winding road. Castle Ravenloft gets its name from Queen Ravenovia, Strahd's mother, and was built by the architect Artimus after the conquest of Barovia. The Castle was built upon the ruins of an even older fortress, with the aid of magic and artisanal work.
