The dark silhouette of Castle Raven loft looks down on this village from its perch atop a 1,000-foot-high column of rock known as the Pillarstone of Ravenloft.

East of the mountains lies the village of Barovia, shrouded in mist and bereft of walls and defenses. Between Vallaki and Krezk lie the ruins of Argynvostholt, the fallen bastion of a knightly order called the Order of the Silver Dragon, wiped out by Strahd and his army. Castle Ravenloft was the seat of power of the lord of Barovia, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich.1 Location The castle was located atop a large. West of the two mountains, atop a hill, stands the Abbey of Saint Markovia, around which the Barovian Barovians built a walled village named Krezk. On the south side of the lake rests the town of Vallaki, enclosed by a palisade. Between these two mountains stands Lake Zarovich, which is fed by streams of ice-cold water pouring down the face of Mount Baratok. Baratok's slightly smaller twin, Mount Ghakis, is mostly bald with tufts of trees here and there. Oranou, a small village located at the foot of the mountains in Barovia. The largest of these peaks is Mount Baratok, with its snow-covered cap and rugged slopes. This fantasy map of the Village of Barovia was created for the RPG adventure Curse of Strahd set in the classic D&D world of Ravenloft. The evergreen trees of the Svalich Woods climb the sides of the mountains that enclose the valley. A deathly stillness hangs over the dark woods, which are patrolled constantly by Strahd's wolves and other servitors.

Rolling thunderclouds cast a gray pall over the land of Barovia.
