Somewhere in these pages a new arrival has just stumbled out of a bank of fog, into a grey valley with a castle on the mountain and no road back. This is Domains of Dread—a hardcore Curse of Strahd campaign bound in the same haunted atlas as the one that frames it: ink, watercolor, and rot, a document of a realm slowly eating itself. It is built for a party of three to seven, not solo heroes. You travel together, fight together, survive together—solo survival is not intended, and Barovia wants you dead. Gather allies, hunt the fabled weapons of light, and confront Strahd von Zarovich—or make peace with the dark.
