Father Donavich
Passive Priest
Father to the now vampire spawn Doru and priest of the Morninglord. Donavich's faith was a direct insult to Strahd's existence and used the opportunity of Doru failing to kill him to personally attack Donavich's faith by cursing the young boy with Vampirism and compelling him to attack his own father.
Doru’s arrival at the church a year ago broke something inside of Donavich. He locked his monstrous son away in the church’s undercroft and set about praying for a miracle. After many fruitless prayer sessions, Donavich’s mind finally cracked under the pressure. Instead of listening to his son scream, “Father I’m starving!” over and over, Donavich decided that he would do what all good parents do: make sure that their child has enough to eat. That decision drove Donavich to lure the first villager into the church as a bloodmeal for his son. A week later, screams of “Father, I’m starving!” started up again, and another villager was lured back to the church’s undercroft. Both bodies were buried by Donavich in the graveyard behind the church. After a period of several weeks, the villagers became frightened by the disappearances, and refused to go out after dark. This forced Donavich to be clever and use the trust the villagers had in him against them. Quick words, quicker thinking, and the occasional blow to the head are what Donavich uses to keep his son fed these days. The latest victim was Gregor Stanovich, a devout follower of the Church Of The Morninglord. Donavich entered his house under the guise of a private prayer session. When Donavich tried to lure Gregor to the church, Gregor refused. Eventually, a struggle ensued and Gregor hit Donavich with a candlestick and ripped off the priest’s holy symbol. Donavich managed to knock the older man unconscious and drag him to the church under the cover of darkness.

The Morninglords
These respected priests served as dedicated healers and councilors to the followers of Lathander and other folks in communities throughout Faerûn. They protected the people from all manner of malign forces and were known as fervent destroyers of the undead. The morninglords were beacons of hope in a world that was often dark and full of dangers.
