Vallaki

The Old Svalich Road meanders into a valley watched over by dark, brooding mountains to the north and south. The woods recede, revealing a sullen mountain burg surrounded by a wooden palisade. Thick fog presses up against this wall, as though looking for a way inside, hoping to catch the town aslumber.
The dirt road ends at a set of sturdy iron gates with a pair of shadowy figures standing behind them. Planted in the ground and flanking the road outside the gates are a half-dozen pikes with wolves’ heads impaled on them.

Vallaki is one of the major settlements within Barovia. Protected from outside interference by iron gates, wooden palisades, and weekly festivities to keep the morale of the citizens high, Vallaki has not had any dark visitors, namely the devil Stahd himself, intrude the town for some time. 
Though all does not seem well within these walls as the citizens might try to convince you. Shady practices amongst the nobility keep the citizens placated, and rumors of even more dark magics run rampant. How much is true, and how much is fabrication?
