Village of Barovia

Tall shapes loom out of the dense fog that surrounds everything. The muddy ground underfoot gives way to slick, wet cobblestones. The tall shapes become recognizable as village dwellings. The windows of each house stare out from pools of blackness. No sound cuts the silence except for mournful sobbing that echoes through the streets from a distance. 
The village of Barovia is a somber, dour town where the buildings, decor and even townsfolk seem to be awash in grays and browns - like the entire town is nothing but shadow. It sits at the bottom of a winding cliff leading to the grand castle of Ravenloft.
