BAROVIA (1127)
East of Arkham's northern forests sits the small village of Barovia. Long in
the shadows of the vampire's keep to the south, the surrounding forests and
swamps teem with danger, including wolves and the undead. The novice traveler
should show great caution in the surrounding wilderness, but the village
itself, as well as a gypsy camp to the north of it, are quiet havens. Where
Svalich Road intersects an east-west path a small well can be found, which
supplies water to a new traveler. East along that path will take you near the
Swan Song Pub, a relaxing place to obtain food and drinks. While Barovia lacks
a lot of the merchant activity of some of Thera's larger cities, a few humble
merchants have set up shop along the main road, and several guilds have been
permitted by the dark masters of this region. The lands to the south of
Barovia are dangerous, and should only be dared by the boldest of adventurers.
