Beyond mortal senses exists a boundless plane that fills the void between worlds. There, dark and nameless powers rule a dark and nameless dimension. For the damned it becomes a prison, but for others it is a crucible to test their virtues. It is a land of mist and shadows. A land of whispered fears. It is a dread realm.
Tendrils of the ethereal mists bind this land to that of the Material Plane. At the bidding of the Dark Powers they seek out innocence and villainy, loathing and desire, obsession and despair. These dark mists snatch up fiends at a moment of ruin and heroes at a time of doubt.
For what reason have the mists come for you? Will you rise above the flaws of your soul, or succumb to them. Perhaps you will soon learn because the time of great upheaval is at hand and the prison walls between the dark realm and the prime world are weakening. Welcome to the land of the mists. Welcome to the Realm of Dread. Welcome to Ravenloft.
