Between the tree-covered mountains that form this valley, lies the domain of Barovia, a dreadful place with a terrible ruler that has the souls of all who come here trapped within. Between the mists that surround Barovia and the dangers that lurk in the Svalic Woods, there are a few small settlements, a town, and an ever-watchful visage of Castle Ravenloft.
In this supplement, three such creatures will be defined in a way that they can become part of the story, playable characters in the setting of Barovia and beyond. They are intended for use in the Curse of Strahd adventure but are not limited to the setting.
These three lineages are the Revenant, the Scarecrow, and the Soulless, all of which would be commonplace within the setting of Barovia.
