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.
