Ravenloft
Vampire lord's realm
Ravenloft is a gothic horror campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons, a realm of mist-shrouded domains ruled by dark lords trapped by their own sins.
The name comes from the castle of its most famous villain, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich.
Players who enter Ravenloft find escape difficult—the mists have a will of their own: Our party got pulled into Ravenloft and spent six sessions trying to get out.
