Church of the Morning Lord

Visitors approaching from the village of Barovia will get their first sight of this decaying church as they crest a small hill along the road out of town. There the image of a church, dwarfed by the stone cliffs behind it, comes slowly into view. Looking far above the sheer rock face the ominous specter of Castle Ravenloft looms menacingly over the church along with the rest of Barovia.
Upon reaching this worn and weary edifice, the broken and decayed rafters betray the sad history of the structure and hide whatever former glory it may once have held. Towards the back, a bell tower rises, but even this defiant architecture shows signs of wear and weather.
If a visitor were to enter this small chapel, they might walk along a wide hallway with two doors on each side, which runs down into a small chapel. The most recent addition to the chapel's woes are recent signs of widespread destruction, as if some wild animal was let loose and destroyed anything it touched. Broken pews are strewn haphazardly about as if scattered by a powerful gale, and the altar is marred by claw marks and signs of heavy impacts.
Donavich, the parish head, fervently whispers a prayer behind the altar as another voice echoes with agony from below.
