Invidia
A land of passion torn by civil war and awash with the blood of ethnic strife, Invidia hangs on by a tenuous thread above the jaws of all-out chaos. The fiendish tyrant Malocchio Aderre deposed the lackadaisical rule of his mother Gabrielle Aderre and has begun to unite formerly independent settlements of Invidia into a single nation, though one that is firmly beneath his heel. Yet, as the much-feared Dukkar, he mainly seeks power to eradicate the Vistani and torment those around him.
Malocchio is opposed by an alliance of strange bedfellows thanks to the charm and wiles of Gabrielle Aderre. Through her proxies Matton Blanchard and Ardonk Szerieza, she has drawn on Kartakan wolfweres and oppressed Gundarakite resisters. However, her manipulations threaten to tear her fragile alliance apart.
For his part, Malocchio may be little better off in his predicament than his mother. He leads a powerful army of mercenaries bolstered by Ogres, Giants, and other monsters not often found elsewhere, let alone in the employ of a military. However, the incursion of his Vistani-hunting mercenaries into other domains has earned the enmity of other neighboring powers and their lords, most notably Ivan Dilisnya and Count Strahd von Zarovich. Furthermore, Malocchio's army was greatly weakened by the mass slaughter in the Hour of Screaming Shadows.
