After long and tiring travel you finally see a light in the distance. Hope and comfort. The dark misty lands have been your cold companion these past days—weeks even. But now a warm fire welcomes you, young hunters. The warmth will not last, not in your line of work. Evil does not sleep, and there are many a monster tormenting the vulnerable, the good, and the innocent. It is people like you that cut down this wickedness. For good… though coin would be greatly appreciated.

You arrive in Barovia, a land unfamiliar to you. It welcomes you gracefully—eagerly.

Hungry.

Welcome. You had already entered freely. Now come guest, enjoy the many sights and pleasures. Don’t worry about accommodations, you may stay here.

Forever.
