Rumors and Jobs

Gertruda the daughter of Mad Marry is missing. Mary claims she was kidnapped but others claim she ran away.
Ireena informed you that stories of the famous monster slayer Dr. van Richten have made their way to Barovia. If taken literally, that could mean that several of van Richten's detailed monster compendiums could be found somewhere in Barovia. Getting your hands on that would allow you to become a more effective fighter when facing a creature relating to the book's subject.
Muriel Zalenski is obviously keeping secrets from you but she also seems willing to help you out. You don't know what her intentions and motives are. She could be misleading you or genuinely wishes to help you.
The Martikov family informed you that their family has been gathering information on Strahd and Barovia. They seem to be a valuable source of information should you need it.
Amber Temple seems to hold many secrets. While the journey sounds dangerous, the answers may be worth it.
According to Ezmerelda d'Avenir, Strahd is attempting a Bride Ceremony on Ireena.
The Mad Mage is missing his spellbook. Perhaps Victor Vallakovich's spellbook might have formerly belonged to the Mad Mage.
Dr. van Richten has informed you that Strahd cannot be killed like normal vampires. To defeat him you will need to learn the secret of this immortality.
Van Richten claims that Ireena's fate is sealed and you should just give her up to Strahd
You met a Revenant who had been killing Strahd's forces. This undead knight does not want you to kill Strahd because he wants Strahd to suffer. Although what he would suffer from, you don't know.
Ezmerelda and Arabelle both seemed to magically affect people in odd ways. The wine that Bluto drank turned into water in his mouth, Kiril Stoyanovich became vulnerable to your attacks, and Lady Wachter began to suffer from a mental breakdown. How they did this is unknown.
Van Richten has identified Strahd's brides by name for you - Ludmilla, Strahd's First wife, Anastrasya, Strahd's Second Wife, Volenta, Strahd's Third Wife
The Tome of Strahd discussed how the journey to Amber temple was freezing cold. You do not have any cold-weather gear and will need to obtain some should you wish to search for it.
Van Richten and Ezmerelda seem to have some kind of bad blood between them. They tend to argue a lot and need to be brought back to the topic on hand.
According to Van Richten, all vampires need to take an extended rest from time to time to recharge their powers. Although they can delay this for several years if need be. Van Richten claims that once Strahd kills you and claims Ireena, then the vampire will take his rest and Van Richten will carry out his plan to stake Strahd while he sleeps.
According to the Tome of Strahd, a ritual was performed by Strahd and Baba Lysaga to steal power from three Arch Fey.
I had become the land, and the land had become me.

While Strahd was at Amber Temple he met a nameless lich. Even though it was centuries ago, Lich's are powerful wizards who have discovered the secret of immortality by becoming undead. It is possible you will meet this lich when you reach the temple.
Van Richten's guide to monster hunting indicates that the Vistani are the most wicked and despicable of all civilized people. Claiming that a Vistana should never be trusted. Yet his apprentice, Ezmerelda is a Vistana.
The Burgomaster of the Village of Krezk is werewolf. His son, who is set to inherit the title of Burgomaster is also a werewolf. The citizens of Krezk don't know that their leadership is infected with Lycanthropy.
There are still surviving werewolves at the den near Krezk. They promised they would no longer kidnap children to expand their ranks.
The current contenders for leadership of Vallaki is between Lady Wachter and Baron Vargas. Both have openly declared you as an enemy. You should probably expect hostility the next time you visit.
Tatyana had flung herself from the castle Ravenloft's tower in the year 254 CE. Yet the tome of Strahd claims that her body was never found.
The Abbot is alive & well, and is still practicing bizarre experiments. He is also the only one you know that can cure the curse of Lycanthropy.
Strahd will likely be angry with you once he learns that you have his tome.
