Elend Tavore

**Elend Tavore** is the baron of Drakehall in the Var Kalduhr duchy of Nuramek. He is the only human noble to govern lands belonging to a dwarven city. He and his wife, Julia, are expecting their first child.

Elend was born in 471 AC in Crownport, the firstborn child of Prince Fredrin Tavore and his wife Katerine. Fredrin was prince by virtue of his own father's kingship, but had no lands of his own. Elend was his father's only son, but has two younger sisters, Lyanna and Beatrice.

## The Malkin Rebellion

Without lands or responsibilities, Elend lived most of his early life hedonisticly. As the king's cousin, he was given command of a group of cavaliers, but most of the time when he was not training or fighting was spent carousing with his men.

This changed during Elend's time fighting in the Malkin Rebellion when he met his wife, Julia. Although she was a common-born camp follower, Elend married Julia within a month of meeting her. Unknowingly, Elend foiled carefully-set political machinations in so doing; Queen Calliandra and Prince Bertram had planned on marrying Elend to Elysande Malkin in order to make a Tavore the margrave of Malkin after Caswell's defeat. Elend and Prince Bertram had a heated exchange in which Bertram called Elend's new wife a whore and Elend responded by punching his cousin. For striking a superior officer, Elend was sent home to Crownport in disgrace, spared from harsher punishment only because of his relation to the king.

## The Siege of Westmarch

When Finnbjorn Cinderforge came to Crownport seeking aid from the crown in dealing with the Silver Inquisition's siege of Westmarch, he was told by Queen Calliandra that the crown's forces were too tied down in Malkin and could not come to Margrave Falkenried's aid. Instead, she gave Finnbjorn funds to hire a mercenary company and granted Elend leave to depart the city with Finnbjorn.

En route to Westmarch, Elend discovered that Julia had been killed by the warlock Alys Tanner, who had taken Julia's place. After repelling the Silver Inquisition at Westmarch, therefore, Elend continued on to the Faewood, seeking the aid of the druid Mallara Elluviel in resurrecting Julia. Mallara was successful in bringing Julia back, and Julia and Elend continued on to Nuramek, reuniting with Finnbjorn there.

## Nuramek

Because of Finnbjorn's help in resurrecting Julia in the Faewood, Elend swore his allegiance to the dwarf. In Nuramek, Elend competed in King Brynjar's funeral tournament joust, where he was defeated by Finnbjorn in the final round. Elend later led forces during the Siege of the Cinderforge.

Shortly after having helped Finnbjorn reclaim the Cinderforge, Elend received word from the crown calling him back to Malkin. Elend and Julia returned to the war, but were later reunited with Nuramek's forces when the dwarf armies allied themselves with the humans against the Malkin forces.

In thanks for Nuramek's help in the war, the Maelandrin barony was gifted to Nuramek and became a part of Var Kalduhr. With the crown's permission and at Finnbjorn's request, Elend was made baron of the Drakehall, becoming Finnbjorn's liege.
Baba Lysaga

**Baba Lysaga** is an ancient and powerful mage living in the ruins of Berez in Barovia. Once a human woman, Lysaga long ago made a pact with Mother Night, allowing the dark power to inhabit her body. Over time, Lysaga and Mother Night have become so entwined that they consider themselves to be one person.

The exact age and origins of Baba Lysaga are unclear, but Ezmerelda d'Avenir says that Lysaga is likely the oldest living being in Barovia. Lysaga herself has said that, long ago, she called out for aid and Mother Night answered.

At some point prior to the birth of Strahd von Zarovich, Lysaga came into the employ of King Barov von Zarovich and Queen Ravenovia van Roeyen in Castle Ravenloft. Lysaga was Strahd's nursemaid, and fed him drops of her own blood, planting a dark seed of magic within him.

> *"A leader of men, a leader of worlds. Sitting astride a dark horse. Blood on your blade, blood on your lips, blood on your hands.  A great man, a strong man. But you will not forget your Baba Lysaga, no?  That silly bint may have grown you in her belly, but you will remember who* really *gave you life."*
>
>

During this time, Lysaga also carried on an affair with King Barov and became pregnant with a daughter, Eva. Upon learning of the pregnancy, Queen Ravenovia sent Lysaga away. Lysaga never forgave Ravenovia, and may have had something to do with the wasting sickness that killed the queen years later.

Although she left Ravenloft, Lysaga continued to watch over Strahd from afar. When Strahd came to her looking for a way to save Tatyana Ivanova from her illness, Lysaga offered to pass the spirit of Mother Night over to Tatyana, granting her effective immortality. However, Strahd refused Lysaga's offer, venturing instead to the Amber Temple in search of a different solution.

After Strahd destroyed Berez following the murder of Yelena Ulrich, Lysaga took up residence in the ruined city. After stealing a powerful magic artifact from the Wizard of Wines Winery, she was able to create a creeping hut for herself that could travel through Berez's marshes.

Lysaga also maintained communications with the hags of Old Bonegrinder by means of an enchanted mirror. After Morgantha's defeat, this mirror came into the hands of Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, and Solaris, who used the mirror to communicate with Lysaga under the guise of Escher Belasco. Seeking more information about Strahd, they then sought the aid of Lysaga's granddaughter, Ezmerelda, and met with Lysaga in Berez. While Lysaga believed the ruse that they were servants of Strahd, she nevertheless voiced an intention to report to Strahd on the presence of Ireena Kolyana with the party.

The party was able to defeat Lysaga and her hut, although Ezmerelda cautioned that Lysaga's death would not be permanent. Trapped in a cage within Lysaga's hut, the party found Muriel Martikov, a wereraven who had been thought dead.
Nuramek Ducal Council

**The Nuramek Ducal Council** is a council of the highest nobility of Nuramek. There are seven seats, each held by one of the Dukes of Nuramek, and seven honorary seats held by the ducal heirs. The heirs do not have a vote in the council's decisions, but are permitted access to all Council meetings and are expected to act as advisers to their fathers. The Constable of the Topaz Garrison also holds an honorary seat on the Council, and acts as a moderator for Council discussions and a magistrate for criminal trials.

## Jurisdiction and Procedure

The Council makes three sorts of decisions: policy recommendations to the King (or Queen) of Nuramek, verdicts in the criminal trials of the Nuramekian nobility, and decisions regarding royal succession in the event of a monarch's death without a clear heir.

Of these three, only the last is legally binding in and of itself, although all three have considerable weight. Recommendations to the city's monarch impose no legal obligation on the monarch, but failing to follow a recommendation, particularly one that has received unanimous support from the Council, is politically perilous. Verdicts in criminal trials technically represent the Council's recommendation to the Topaz Garrison Constable, with the Constable making the final decision under the council's advisement. However, the Constable relies heavily on the support of the Ducal Council, and would likely face retaliation if they were not to follow the Council's advice.

All decisions of the Council are decided on a majority vote. In the event that one or more of the seats of the Council are vacant and a tie vote results, the Constable of the Topaz Garrison casts the tie-breaking vote.
Ilsa Tyvellis

**Ilsa Tyvellis** was a lieutenant in the Deep Harbor City Guard. She was assigned to one of the contingents sent by Gravine Mezara Corlester to assist the Silver Inquisition with the Siege of Westmarch.

When the Silver Inquisition army was broken, Lieutenant Tyvellis was injured and then captured by pursuing forces. When questioned, she revealed that, despite her unyielding devotion to the Gravine of Corlester, she did believe that Mezara had been behaving strangely and erratically. This strange behavior had begun, she said, around the time that Mezara took a new lover, a man named Ravahn.

Shortly after the failed siege, Lieutenant Tyvellis, along with the other captured Silver Inquistion and Corlester soldiers, was brought to Crownport for trial. There, she and the other officers were executed for treason.
Aridax Ecixellash

**Aridax Ecixellash** is the youngest child of Chieftain Farideh Ecixellash, the leader of the Sandstone Freehold, and her mate Saldux. Aridax is the younger sister of the dragonborn warder Grimyse.

Since she was a young child, Aridax has trained to be a priestess of Bahamut. In 498 AC, Aridax had a prophetic dream, foretelling that Tiamat would soon return, and that the dragonborn must make preparations for the final battle against the Dragon Queen.
Dryad

* Normal
* Portrait

*A woman of the wood. Literally. Charms forest-goers with her wiles - but can be charmed in turn.*

*Is willing to share her fruit with those who give themselves freely.*

Dryads are beings with humane appearance fused with trees. They can offer you food if they desire, or if you do something for them.

## Encounter

When you encounter a dryad, they will be holding an apple. You want it and will try to get in next possible ways:

* You can offer your “apple” in return (requires low Purity/catamite perk). Depending on how slutty you are, you can act shamefully, but you still lose -5 health from splinters. +20 food
* You normally just plead with her. Charisma 5 lets you get +20 food; Charisma 9 gives you +30. But if you don't have enough, you must now *suck her off* or *eat her tree ass.* No way to refuse, so you will **lose kiss virginity** if you are not charismatic.
* With 0-1 Charisma you can insult her instead, and you still get apple!.. but it's Game Over. For this you get Splintered achievement.
Olga

**Olga** is a Battlemaiden of the Temple of Haela in Nuramek. She is a frequent participant in tournaments and competitions on behalf of the Temple.

In King Brynjar's funeral tournament, Olga took part in the melee, where she helped her friend Leilwyn Rockhammer take Holg Bersk out of the competition. Later, at the funeral feast, she joined in a brawl and then engaged in a brief tryst with the human warlock Saladin.
Graendel

**Graendel, the Blind Fury** was a powerful marilith and a member of the Iron Sword, one of the two factions of fiends vying for control of Mordingard.

In 498 AC, Graendel took up residence in the hobgoblin city Galbarecht. She built her lair in the temple of Maglubiyet, above the Earth Elemental Rift, and awakened the dormant volcano overlooking the city, flooding much of Galbarecht in lava. The hobgoblins, unable to fight her, fled their city, moving in greater numbers into the Nuramek Undercity.

In 499 AC, Graendel was slain by a group of warriors and mages: Finnbjorn Cinderforge, Astrid Bersk, Saladin, Valona Stonesong, Myth, Creswik Grayspire, Torvald Stonesong, and Velya Edrian.
Consortium of Shadows

The **Consortium of Shadows** is a criminal organization based out of Deep Harbor in Suldura. The Consortium is primarily involved in smuggling but also deals heavily in the slave trade. It is led by three leaders known as the Triarchs: Hugh Mason, Violetta Avery, and Weston du Plumet.

In Deep Harbor, the Consortium operates criminal networks throughout the city and runs a protection racket, charging business owners like Jory Greenbottle a "tax" in exchange for the Consortium's protection. The city has come to lean more heavily on the Consortium after the Corlester forces were decimated in the Siege of Westmarch.

The Consortium is also tied to Barovia and to Strahd von Zarovich. Members of the Consortium use rings bearing the von Zarovich family crest to travel back and forth between Barovia and the ordinary world.

## Known Members of the Consortium

* Arigal d'Avenir;
* Darren;
* Garrag;
* Lena;
* Luvash d'Avenir;

* Mellicus;
* Naomi Starling (former);

Mahalinor

**Mahalinor** is one of the seven great cities of Karekanur. After The Calamity and the Fall of Mordingard, Mahalinor declared independence from the remainder of Karekanur after a priest of Moradin claimed to have been granted a vision by the Mordinsamman telling him that Mahalinor was the true heir to Mordingard. Since then, Mahalinor has been a theocracy, led by a council of priests.
Barovia (town)

## Barovia

**The town of Barovia** sits at the foot of the cliffs upon which Castle Ravenloft is built, in the nation that shares the town's name. Both town and nation are named for Strahd's father, Barov von Zarovich.

For many years, Burgomaster Kolyan Indirovich governed the town of Barovia. After Kolyan's recent death, however, his son Ismark has taken over as Barovia's burgomaster.

Barovia is a gloomy town, even by Barovian standards, and it has a claustrophobic feel, as if the houses are leaning inwards towards the streets. Few people walk those dark streets even by day, and at night, no living soul would dare venture from their home.

## Locations in Barovia

The sole gathering place for the denizens of Barovia is the Blood of the Vine tavern. The tavern also has a few rooms for rent for those occasions when the rare traveler like Vasili von Holz journeys from Vallaki or Krezk.

Barovia also has one church to the Morning Lord, run by Father Donavich. Almost two years ago, Father Donavich's son, Doru, participated in an attack on Castle Ravenloft led by a powerful mage. Upon Doru's return, he had been transformed into something terrible: a vampire spawn. Doru now dwells below the church's floorboards, and few will visit the church because of the terrible screams coming from beneath its floors.

## Known Characters from Barovia

* Doru Donavich, Father Donavich's son
* Escher Belasco, consort to Strahd von Zarovich
* Gertruda Stiegler, consort to Strahd von Zarovich

Brown

**Martin Martikov**is a Barovian wereraven child. Although he is a wereraven, he is still too young to be member of the Keepers of the Feather. He is the son of Dagmara Martikov and an unknown father and until recently lived at the Wizard of Wines Winery with his grandmother, Elsa Martikov.

When Elsa helped Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, Solaris, Ezmerelda, and Ireena escape from Vanargand and his werewolves using the Keepers' secret tunnels, Elsa sent Martin and his brothers to Davian and Stefania.

Errtu

**Errtu, the Betrayer of Hope**, is a powerful balor, the pact patron of several warlocks, and one of the primary figures in the Iron Sword, one of the two factions of fiends vying for control of Mordingard.

## Biography

Generally regarded as the strongest of the balors, Errtu has a particular feud with Melioch, as each claim to be the leader of their faction. In this feud, Errtu has typically allied himself with Lisindor while Havael and Graendel side with Melioch, although alliances have shifted and all allied parties have purportedly worked against each other in secret at various times.

Errtu is an especially arrogant fiend, believing that it is his right to rule both the Iron Sword and the city of Mordingard. Although he does not tolerate defiance of any sort from his allies and followers, he does not tend to stamp it out immediately. Instead, he enjoys toying with those who have wronged him, like a cat with a captured mouse. He delights in torment, and will almost always choose torture over a quick death for his foes.

While he is highly emotional, often swayed by his pride, arrogance, and anger, Errtu is also very intelligent. He balances his raw strength with spellcasting ability, although he is not as powerful in that regard as Lisindor. It is known among the fiends, however, that his spellcasting is not entirely innate - he possesses a powerful enchanted sword from which he derives some of his magical strength.

No one outside of the fiends themselves knows the exact location of any fiend’s lair, but it is generally believed that Errtu resides either in or near the city of Mordingard.

## Pact With Saladin

In 479 AC, Errtu made a pact with the human man Saladin, who had sought Errtu out in order to avenge the murder of Saladin's brother Ishmael.

In 499 AC, as orc attacks grew more frequent in the region, Kel was attacked by a group of village youths, and her mother and Amos Yavin began plans to to send Kel to Crownport for an apprenticeship there. Yavin called in a favor with one of the blacksmiths working under Jamis Vulker, and it was agreed that Kel would move east to apprentice there.

Kel set out for the first leg of her journey with a caravan led by Masha and Efram Osterfell. A few days into their journey, they were attacked by orcs in the Brightwood. Kel was rescued from a group of orcs by Finnbjorn Cinderforge, Holg Bersk, and Saladin. She then journeyed the rest of the way to Crownport with them, as they were already escorting Owen Falkenried there.

**Noctaris Silverleaf** is the father of Stellaluna and Solaris Silverleaf. He was born Enor Silverleaf in 372 AC in the Malkin region of Suldura and grew up in the Faewood. He has been missing and presumed dead since 475 AC.

Noctaris's parents, Gelwen and Wilwanindil Silverleaf, were part of a drow merchant caravan. When he was an infant, the caravan was assaulted by bandits and many members, including Noctaris's parents, were killed. Two friends of his family, Lorindol and Valeria Selurine, escaped with Noctaris and brought him to Mallara's grove in the Faewood.

Noctaris trained with Mallara in the druidic arts, becoming an herbalist and healer. In 469 AC, he met Miweth Aeluin, a newcomer to the Faewood, and they quickly fell in love. As soon as they were old enough, they married and chose new names together: Luxanna and Noctaris Silverleaf.

When Luxanna became pregnant, she convinced Noctaris to leave the Faewood with her, believing that their child would have more opportunities in Kainen's Hollow. Shortly after leaving the Faewood, however, the two were set upon by Kithvoni slavers. Noctaris was wounded and Luxanna taken captive. She never saw Noctaris again.

The warlock Alys Tanner claimed that she had a place as a musician at Overlook Keep until Adelaide Malkin threw her out, possibly over suspicions that the Margrave had taken Alys as his mistress.
Meshayle Malkin

Margravine **Meshayle Malkin**, born Princess Meshayle Letharr, was the daughter of King Daemon, the last monarch of Letharr. During the war of Sulduran Unification, King Daemon refused to surrender, even after his armies had fallen to the joint forces of Elandoris Tavore and Cassius Falkenried. As a result, unlike the other monarchs who were permitted to become graves, Daemon was executed after his capture and defeat in 425 AC. Meshayle, Daemon's daughter and heir, was married to Danvar Malkin, one of Elandoris's generals. Danvar became the first margrave of Malkin, and Meshayle became margravine. Meshayle bore Danvar two sons, Caswell and Horace.

Although she did come to be fond of Danvar, Meshayle always remembered and resented what had happened to her father. She also resented Malkin's place in Suldura, believing that it should be an independent kingdom as it had been in her youth. She raised her sons to believe this as well, laying the seeds for their eventual rebellion against the crown.

Fall of Mordingard

During The Calamity, rifts opened in the mines beneath Mordingard, the capital of the dwarven kingdom of Karekanur. From these rifts emerged an army of fiends that launched a sudden and brutal attack on the city. The dwarves of Mordingard fought valiantly to defend their home, but were ultimately driven back and out of the city.

## End of the Truesilver Line

The last king of Karekanur, High King Galdric Truesilver was slain during the fighting, as were all four of his sons. This ended the male line of the Truesilver monarchy, which had ruled over the nation of Karekanur for a hundred generations.

## Last Stand of the Alabaster Lycaeum

As the dwarves retreated from Mordingard, the mages of the Alabaster Lycaeum made the decision to remain behind in order to ensure the escape of their countrymen and to lay magical protections of the most important and sacred parts of the city. Six hundred mages remained in Mordingard while it fell to the fiends, and every one of them was either killed or captured.

## Fall of the Guardians

Two sphinxes living near Mordingard, Rennarokh and Kalani, also came under attack from the fiendish army. Rennarokh was gravely wounded in the attack, but survived. His mate, Kalani, was not so lucky, and was slain by the pit fiend known as Vargek.

## Collapse of Karekanur

With the loss of King Galdric and the fall of Mordingard, there was no longer a unifying force holding the other five cities of Karekanur together. Galdric's young daughter Frytha, who had fled to Darenkad, was named High Queen of Karekanur, but her reign was short-lived. The governing families of each city had close blood ties to the Truesilver line, and several competing claims were made against Frytha's.

Korinfell was the first to split off from the kingdom. The dark magics of The Calamity had left deep scars upon the city and its inhabitants and the dwarves of Korinfell, now referring to themselves as the duergar, asserted their own sovereignty, claiming that they ought to no longer be bound to the rule of ordinary dwarves.

Within the next fifteen years, the rest of the cities followed. A civil war errupted between Nuramek and Darenkad when Vorden Deepforge, the husband of Frytha Truesilver, and Torrhen Stonesong VIII, the grandson of a Truesilver prince, each declared themselves the true king of Karekanur. Meanwhile, Mahalinor began their own theocratic government after an influential priest of Moradin claimed that he had been granted a vision by the Mordinsamman and had been told that Mahalinor was the true spiritual successor to Mordingard. Haldur, a city of merchants, overthrew their own claimant king and established a ruling council of mithril barons, which declared their independence from any of the remaining dwarven cities.

In 1538, Muriel went missing and was presumed to be dead. In reality, however, she was merely imprisoned by Baba Lysaga in her creeping hut. After Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, Solaris, Ezmerelda, and Ireena defeated Lysaga, they freed Muriel. Having been trapped for years in a raven form, Muriel had difficulty remembering anything, but did continuously ask for Katarina. Since the Wizard of Wines Winery had recently been burned, the party sent Muriel to Vallaki and the Blue Water Inn with Ezmerelda.

Escher Belasco

**Escher Belasco** is a vampire spawn and a consort of Strahd von Zarovich. Originally from the town of Barovia, he now resides in Castle Ravenloft in the nation of Barovia.

Prior to becoming a vampire, Escher was a close friend of the wereraven Fyodor Martikov. Fyodor says that the Keepers of the Feather "failed to save" Escher from Strahd.

> *"He always dreamed of better things, better than this place.  He was always smiling, even at the darkest times.  I promised him I would protect him, but I failed.  He tried to help us fight against Strahd, but he was taken, and it was a long time before I saw him again.  When I did... He had changed.  I do not know him anymore."*
>

> -Fyodor Martikov
>

Escher first encountered Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, and Solaris at the Barovia Church, where they had gone with Ismark Kolyanovich and Ireena Kolyana to bury their father. Escher approached Ismark and demanded that he attend a dinner at Castle Ravenloft in order for Strahd to meet the new burgomaster of Barovia. He also invited the party to dine with Strahd.

After the party's dinner at Castle Ravenloft, Escher and Gertruda were set to accompany and guard the party. However, Solaris drew Escher's attention, and distracted him while Fate explored the castle. During this time, Escher also drank Solaris's blood. Calling Solaris back, the party then fled the castle with the help of Fyodor and Dagmara Martikov.

Later, Stellaluna adopted Escher's appearance in order to speak with Baba Lysaga.
The Magnus Program

## Description

Backed by the United Nations as part of the DFiN led Response Initiative, the very much confidential, deep human experiment, was organized by top researchers and astrophysicists that were hand selected from off-world moons and Stations.

Professional men and woman ranging from engineers, chemists and technicians gathered in secrecy to carry out the unimaginable. To achieve this scientific milestone, only a select few of the most gifted minds throughout the solar system was recruited. For many of them, this meant abandoning their home planet or station and loved ones.

## Background

The program began with Engineers successfully synthesizing the Singularity Core from a decaying Proton Star called Magnus; the first discovered of its kind. With mankind accelerating in the science behind Magna, the development of a sophisticated war device was in high demand after the crushing attack on an off-world territory, named Prominence.

Damian Foster was recruited or "chosen", as candidate prime and underwent the augmentation successfully. Lt. Commander Niles, served as Mission Oversight for the program and oversaw the entire undertaking, a majority of which took place onboard his DFiN Orbital Scout Ship the 0221.

The Program advanced to its second phase and actual purpose when a council of UN Delegates sanctioned the DFiN led assignment, code named: *Operation Hard Drive.*
Fiona Wachter

**Lady Fiona Wachter** is a significant figure in the Barovian city of Vallaki and a rival of Burgomaster Vargas Vallakovich. She also secretly supports the rule of Strahd von Zarovich and believes that Strahd is the key to returning the sun to Barovia.

As a young woman, Fiona was close friends with Marina Zalenski, a beautiful green-eyed young woman. Marina married Vargas, the son of Burgomaster Valdas Vallakovich, and Fiona married Nikolai Karasoff, a young man with no noble blood. Marina, Vargas, Fiona, and Nikolaj remained close friends until Marina died giving birth to Vargas's son and heir Viktor. After Marina's death, Fiona and Vargas's friendship became strained, and they had a falling out.

Fiona and Nikolaj had three children together: Nikolai the Younger, Karl, and Stella. Their sons are both soulless. There were plans in place to marry Stella to Viktor Vallakovich, but those plans were ended when Stella fell ill, stricken with a madness that still affects her. While Fiona tells people that she sent her daughter to the Abbey of St. Markovia, in reality Stella remains locked in her room in the Wachterhaus.

In 1538 by the Barovian calendar (395 AC), Nikolaj the Elder died. Fiona greatly mourned his passing. In secret, she keeps his body, preserved by a Gentle Repose spell, in her bedchamber and sleeps beside it every night.
Danvar Goblinsbane

### Aunts and Uncles

Ingrid Surefoot, Sigrun Silverheart, Hilde Darkaxe, Malda Brightquarry, Eirik Goblinsbane

### Nieces and Nephews

Ilmar Stonesong, Arvid Stonesong, Torvald Stonesong

**Danvar Goblinsbane** is the son of Duke Veldor Goblinsbane and the heir to the Goblinsbane Duchy. He is also brother to Dowager Queen Solvi Goblinsbane and son-in-law to Duke Rangrim Silverheart.

At the funeral tourney for King Brynjar Stonesong, Danvar was inadvertently involved in a plot to undermine Princess Valona Stonesong's popularity with the people of Nuramek. Valona's blunted tourney sword had been replaced with an edged sword, and Valona unintentionally injured Danvar with the edged blade before discarding it, disarming Danvar, and fighting with his sword for the remainder of her time in the melee.

As the heir to Goblinsbane, Danvar was present when Falrik Clanless unleashed his monstrosities on the Ducal Council. As the commander of the Goblinsbane armies, he led a force jointly with Prince Torvald Stonesong in the Siege of the Cinderforge.
Elsbet Falkenried

**Elsbet Falkenried** was the daughter of Cassius and Mylaina Falkenried and the elder sister of Margrave Darius Falkenried. She was born in 415 AC. An independent-minded woman and a skilled swordsman, Elsbet never married, but helped to lead her brother's armies. She was rumored to have been a lover of her cousin, King Maxidan Tavore, although there were others who noted that she was very close with her handmaid, a woman named Lorelai.

After her brother's death, Elsbet helped her nephew, Tiberius, assume the leadership of Westmarch and the Falkenried Margravate. She died in 494 AC.
Kahlin

**Kahlin** is a young wizard and the former apprentice to the innkeeper and necromancer Silas Aldrebb. From 495 - 499 AC, Kahlin worked for Silas at the Waystone Inn and illicitly studied necromancy under Silas' tutelage.

Kahlin took part in Silas' torture of Wood's Edge youths, and was told by Silas that it was their right to do what they wished with nonmagical humans, who Silas believed to be inferior beings. Kahlin also helped Silas and Alys Tanner capture and kill the Mayakara Investigator Gideon Ashford.

In 499 AC, Silas was discovered and captured. Kahlin attempted to attack Torvald Stonesong, who was keeping watch, and Torvald captured Kahlin. When it was discovered that Kahlin had no remorse for what he had done, he was handed over to Nilene Guinevra and the Westmarch Mayakara for them to determine whether he could be rehabilitated.
Morgantha the Elder

**Morgantha the Elder** was the leader of a coven of night hags operating out of the Old Bonegrinder mill between Vallaki and the Town of Barovia. Together with her daughters, Bella and Ofalia, Morgantha used the mill to create dreamcakes from the bones of children.

These dreamcakes are highly addictive, causing pleasant dreams of sunlight when consumed, and horrifying nightmares when one stops eating them. The hags charged their customers increasingly high prices, and, when the customers can no longer afford the dreamcakes, demanded children as payments. Morgantha frequently journeyed to both Vallaki and Barovia, where she would pose as a kindly old woman and sell her dreamcakes.

Morgantha was also a worshiper of Mother Night, and she and her daughters desecrated a holy site of the Morning Lord located near their windmill, using children's blood and teeth to turn it into a shrine to Mother Night. Morgantha possessed a magical mirror that she used to communicate with Baba Lysaga, although she did not know

Morgantha and Ofalia were both killed by the adventurers Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, and Solaris. Bella was taken captive, but managed to escape.

After defeating the hags, the adventurers found a mirror that could be used to communicate with Baba Lysaga and a mysterious magical siphon among the hags' possessions. Lilluth had a vision after the defeat of the coven in which Shandrian told her that one of the two favors that Lilluth owed had been paid.
Ifrik

**Ifrik** is a soulless Barovian child and the brother of Myrtle. The siblings are the children of Barovian dreamcake addicts. When they were no longer able to pay for the dreamcakes, Morgantha demanded that they hand over their children in payment.

Myrtle and Ifrik were taken captive by Morgantha and her daughters and held at the Old Bonegrinder windmill, where the hags intended to kill the children and use them to make more dreamcakes. However, Myrtle was rescued by Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, and Solaris. Sending Vasili von Holz ahead to the town of Barovia with Myrtle and Daisy, the party returned to the windmill to free Ifrik.

After bringing the child back to Barovia, the party left him and his sister in the care of Burgomaster Ismark Kolyanovich. Ismark agreed to look after and protect the children in return for the party's pledge to escort Ismark's sister Ireena safely to St. Andral's Church in Vallaki.

Brown

**Katarina "Katya" Martikov** is a Barovian wereraven and a member of the Keepers of the Feather. A young adult, Katya is not yet married, and lives with her father Adrian at the Wizard of Wines Winery. Katya's mother, Muriel, was presumed to be dead for years, but was recently discovered to have been imprisoned by Baba Lysaga in her creeping hut.

When Elsa Martikov helped Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, Solaris, Ezmerelda, and Ireena escape from Vanargand and his werewolves, Katya was part of the group of wereravens who escorted the party through the Keepers' secret tunnels. When the party asked about the dangers of Berez, Katya volunteered that Baba Lysaga lived there. She then recited a poem, with Ireena joining in:

> *She takes little girls and bathes in their blood,*
>
>

> *She takes little boys who don’t do as they should.*
>
>

> *She lives in a house that walks on two legs,*
>
>

> *She keeps many toads that sit on hen eggs.*
>
>

> *In the skull of a giant, she flies through the air,*
>
>

> *She comes for bad children, so you better beware.*
>
>

After Strahd ordered Vanargand to burn the Martikovs' winery to the ground, Katya is missing and presumed dead.
Proof by Combat

**Proof by Combat** is a tiefling rite by which a woman selected as a royal concubine may contest her selection. Becoming a concubine is seen not only as an honor but also a sort of civic duty on the Isle of Smoke, since concubines are tasked with most of the administration of the nation and government. However, a woman selected as concubine may attempt to prove that she is of more use to the Isle as a warrior and a defender of the Isle than as an administrator.

To prove this, a woman selected as concubine must fight against the tiefling king and four of his chosen companions. She may bring four companions of her own to the combat.

When chosen as Concubine of Cultivation by King Glory, Cadence and her husband Wit chose to attempt a Proof by Combat. Cadence went into labor with her daughter, Myth, in the midst of the fight, and was defeated. Years later, Myth herself was selected as Concubine of Cultivation by Glory's son, King Honor. Myth brought her companions Carrow Shaw, Finnbjorn Cinderforge, Thadwin Bronzewright, and Saladin to aid her. King Honor chose his brother Oath, the warrior Fearless, the twice-born mage Malice, and Myth's own sister, Song. Ultimately, Myth was victorious in her Proof.

Ironfist

**Ironfist** can refer either to the Ironfist family, one of the Ducal families of Nuramek, or to Ironfist Keep, the fortress near the city.

Morgantha's Coven

**Morgantha's Coven** is a group of Barovian hags previously located at the Old Bonegrinder windmill, halfway between Vallaki and the town of Barovia.

The coven, consisting of Morgantha the Elder and her daughters Bella and Ofalia make dreamcakes from the bones of children. These dreamcakes are highly addictive, causing pleasant dreams of sunlight when consumed, and horrifying nightmares when one stops eating them. The hags charge their customers increasingly high prices, and, when the customers can no longer afford the dreamcakes, demand children as payments.

The Keepers of the Feather were aware of the hags' activities, but had so far been unable to stop them. Wereraven siblings Dagmara and Fyodor Martikov were keeping a watch on Old Bonegrinder when Morgantha and Ofalia were both killed by the adventurers Lilluth, Fate, Stellaluna, and Solaris, and the siblings Myrtle and Ifrik were rescued from the windmill. Bella was taken captive, but managed to escape.

After defeating the hags, the adventurers found a mirror that could be used to communicate with Baba Lysaga and a mysterious magical siphon among the hags' possessions. Lilluth had a vision after the defeat of the coven in which Shandrian told her that one of the two favors that Lilluth owed had been paid.
Lyan Tahlaad

**Lyan Tahlaad** is the son of Armen Tahlaad, the magistrate of Westmarch.

When the dragonborn warder Grimyse Ecixellash stopped Lyan and his cousins Nico and Marigold from attacking the young peasant boy Jerold, Lyan challenged Grimyse to a duel. He defeated her, but was then driven away by the half orc mercenary Holg Bersk.

Lyan fought on the walls during the Siege of Westmarch.
Dirk Trevand

**Dirk Trevand** is a member of the Westmarch Mayakara and one of Nilene Guinevra's most trusted colleagues. He was a minstrel for many years prior to joining the Mayakara.

Dirk participated in the Siege of Westmarch as part of the mage contingent defending the city walls. After the siege, Nilene sent him to Deep Harbor to investigate the city's connections to the Silver Inquisition and the rumors of a man named Ravahn who was exerting undue influence on Gravine Mezara Corlester.

Elrikes was then captured, along with his lieutentants Alfric and Vayden, after breaking into Tahlaad Manor. The three thieves successfully stole an ancient relic belonging to the magistrate, but were apprehended by Saladin, Corvyn, Grimyse, and Holg before they could make their escape. Alfric and Vayden were later seen in the Westmarch Dungeons.

During the Siege of Westmarch, Magistrate Tahlaad was tasked by General Kyrel Evander with rounding up the city's criminals and enforcing a curfew in order to prevent Silver Inquisition sabotage. He also took part in the battle, helping to lead wall troops. After the battle, he sentenced Silas Aldrebb to public execution and allowed Holg to carry out the execution by dismembering Aldrebb.
