The Abbot
The head of the abbey, called simply the Abbot, arrived over a century ago and hasn't aged a day since. He occasionally visits the Shrine of the White Sun but doesn't talk much, and he demands tribute in the form of wine. No one knows his true name or where he came from, and many believe he's Strahd's servant or the vampire himself in disguise. Upon meeting the Abbot you see he wears a holy symbol of the Morninglord around his neck and is simply dressed as a priest. The woman always at his side in the tattered red dress is Vasilka, a flesh golem that has been exquisitely put together to serve as Strahd’s bride. Characters within 5 feet of Vasilka can see the seams in her powdered skin where disparate body parts stolen from Krezkite graves have been carefully stitched together. The Abbot is teaching Vasilka the finer points of etiquette. He also intends to teach her how to dance. Vasilka obeys his every command.
Quest: the Abbot has asked you to bring him a wedding dress for Vasilka, Strahd's hopeful animated flesh golem Bride. In exchange he has promised to Raise Dead for you three times total.
