Barovia

My army settled in the valley of Barovia and took power over the people in the name of a just god, but with none of a god's grace or justice.

Once an idyllic mountainous island, Barovia nowadays is a place of dread and hopelessness. Strahd von Zarovich once brought war to the lands, and with it came an unending terror.
The evergreen trees of the Svalich Woods cover the lands, climbing up the hills and the mountains. The highest is Mount Baratok, capped with eternal snow. Mount Ghakis stands at the other side of the island, bare rock rising above the trees. Lakes dot the landscape, with small streams leading the water towards the ocean at a leisurely pace.
Three settlements hold most of the inhabitants, a single ancient road connecting them. To the east lies the village of Barovia, a place where hope has long since left. To the north, under Lake Zarovich lies the town of Vallaki, which has so far withstood the dread that grips these lands, though the methods might be questionable. To the west lies Krezk, built in the shadow of its abbey. Looming over the valley stands the castle Ravenloft, build high upon a pillar of bare rock.
