Café de Nuit

If I follow the timeline correctly: In 611BC Ebonbane and Shadowborn Manor are drawn into the Land of Mists. Very shortly beforehand, Lady Kateri's sword Corona is destroyed. In 615BC Elena Faith-Hold and Nidala are drawn into the Mists. In 626BC Alexei and Ferran Shadowborn are claimed by Ravenlof...

If I recall correctly, Drakov is either from Thenol or was stationed there. Ιt was written that he and his group of mercenaries were often employd by the fanatics of Hith in Thenol. Thenol is a human theocracy not under the thrall of minotaurs, although later (after Drakov arrived in Ravenloft), it...

I own “Howls in the Night” but haven’t ran it. Is it good? My PCs will be going to Mordent sometime in the next few months and I like to plan ahead :azalin: I had ran it in the 90s combining a person from the party I used to play with with a new one I was trying. The combination didn't work well an...

The fenhounds in Denizens of Darkness/Dread for 3.0/3.5 are based on the hound from The Hound of the Baskervilles , which itself was based on the black shuck of Celtic folklore. They hunt down those who have failed powers checks in a swamp, marsh, or fen and seek to destroy them. But the Ravenloft ...

She believes that Aurora Shadowborn should be the key to defeating Ebonbane. However, she also believes that Morgoroth, Meredoth, and Morgoth must be brothers I disagree with this it is like saying that Kharkov, Drakov and Dragonov are cousins because their names end with the same syllable, and any...

Creatures of Avonleigh Aside from the undead and the wildlife, what other creatures (perhaps taken from Arthurian/Celtic/Anglo-Saxon/Briton) folklore can be found in Avonleigh, to give the domain a wee bit more random-encounter variety? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHqy_AyKIUI Ahaha! How could I...

Furthermore, if we're referencing Sleeping Beauty, then there's the prospect of Morgoroth trying things with Aurora as was the case with the inspiration for Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty (the tale "Sun, Moon and Talia") in which that happened to the sleeping princess. Some time later...

Speedwagon's Ramblings About Avonleigh Devonshire Pond and Wyndham Lake Both these bodies of water are noted for being highly filthy and, in the case of Devonshire Pond, of having noxious fumes that bubble from its depths that are released into the surroundings. It's toxic enough that Devonshire Po...

The Shadowlands have always been a unique Cluster. From the strange metaphysics of the Phantasmal Forest to the interconnection of all the domains with the Shadowborn family in some way or another, the Cluster has gripped the attention of many. Recently, that has included myself, but not for the usu...

I haven't been on the thread in a bit, but I did want to come on before I posted a settlement of my own (one in Valachan) to give some well-earned internet cookies to IanFordam and DustBunny! Thanks to the both of you for giving some really interesting to use locations! And no need to worry; the coo...

FRIENDS! Rumors of our demise are greatly overstated! I'd like to thank Joël for drawign attention to our projects. The Algorithm has been sending people our way recently and after my unavoidable hiatus from the Socials, I'm happy to report that we are once again accepting members and working on ou...

Here's me taking a stab at a settlement in a place that most people wouldn't assume there to be anything to settle . Here's a look at the oasis of Nekrepet, in Sebua. Nekrepet Favored oasis of the Sebuan nomads When one thinks of the Amber Wastes, at first, they may think of Har'Akir. The tales of a...

Oh, but there ARE mroe settlements! If you look through Quoth the Raven issues and additional supplements, you will find little hamlets sprinkled in the text. Also, from the Gazetteer numbers, add up the city populations and you'll see usually only 50% of the people live in cities. So where are the...

Considering how horrible a death impailment is, and how death curses have power in Ravenloft, would it be likely then that either Falkovnia and especially Lekar is just plagued by ghosts and curses? And would this justify the existance of some sort of ghost/curse-busters? It even adds the misery: s...

Hey everybody! Have you ever looked at your maps of the Core and Clusters and thought to yourself, "it'd be nice to see a few other smaller settlements that aren't usually on a map"? Have you ever had a campaign taking place away from a big named town or city but still within some place th...
