Strahd's Curse

The swirling gray mist finally parts, just enough to reveal the path leading toward the massive Gates, adorned with grim flourishes and gargoyles, standing without walls. Before you lies the somber valley of Barovia, a land of eternal darkness. There is no turning back. Around you lies only forest and everlasting twilight. From somewhere in the distance, an eerie howl drifts through the air... The gates stand slightly ajar, as if in invitation.
