Barovia
"The Barovian mist consumes all, shrouding even the clearest light with a muted darkness. I hunger for the delectable flavor of iron and steel... to taste the scarlet ichor of all it envelops."
-Strahd von Zarovich
Geography
Barovia is enveloped by dense, forested terrain, occasionally interspersed with rocky cliffs and outcroppings. Other than the worn paths that traverse the Domain, it's incredibly difficult to travel through Barovian wilderness.
Localized Phenomena
Barovia is a Domain of Dread, which means that its ruler - Strahd - is a creature manifested from the power of fears shared by so many individuals on the Secondary Material. These fears - that of constant surveillance and the fear of becoming nothing more than flesh for the world to consume upon - culminated in the creation of what many call the 'first Vampire'.
Climate
Barovia's sky is eternally overcast with storm clouds. Spring and summer are uncomfortably muggy, while autumn and winter are bitterly cold.
Fauna & Flora
Its forests teem with wildlife. Land animals such as deer, rabbits, rats, wolves, and black bears were common in the woods. The sky was populated with ravens, hawks and songbirds, as well as nocturnal bats and owls.
Most trees in Barovia's lower elevations are hardwoods, including beech and oak. The higher one goes, the more trees become evergreens - fir and pine.
