* '''Please respect the copyrights of the publishers''' - The Ravenloft setting is not currently supported by Wizards of the Coast, and all of the source material is out of print, but that does not give us the right to republish the material.  Please summarize in your own words, and limit direct quotes.  Do not upload copyrighted pictures, but limit pictures to those which are copyright-free, or that you have created yourself, or that you find on fraternityofshadows.com, or that you have express permission from the artist to republish.  EXCEPTION: it is our understanding that cover art may be used under the fair use clause when discussing the contents of a book for review purposes.
* '''Please do not edit anything that says DO NOT EDIT''' - The contents of [http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/rldb The Ravenloft Catalogue] were used to build the initial wiki.  The text labelled as "CATALOGUE IMPORT" needs to remain in order for future imports from the catalogue to work properly.  (The catalogue will remain live and will hopefully slowly be completed).  However, the "See Also" information from the Catalogue has been imported and labelled as [[WIKISEED]]s.  Feel free to edit these [[WIKISEED]]s into full-fledged articles and remove the [[WIKISEED]] label.
* '''Please keep things on topic''' - All aspects of Ravenloft are fair game, including Masque of the Red Death.  But there are other places to discuss horror in general, or D&D in general, so if it's not Ravenloft-related, don't post it here.  Please don't post advertising.  Please don't post a rambling account of your day, unless you spent it in Ravenloft.
* '''Please clearly label non-canon material''' - Do not post the events of your home campaign as though they were canon fact.  ''By all means, please do post them'', but keep non-canon material clearly indicated as such.  In general, in each article, canon facts should be detailed first, then non-canon info from netbooks, then all other non-canon info.
* '''Please keep text out-of-character''' - We know how fun it is to immerse yourself in the world and use an in-character mouthpiece, but for the purposes of this wiki, it will be less confusing if everything is kept in a single out-of-character voice.
* '''Please be nice''' - We all have our favorite parts of the setting and our... less favorite parts.  Please don't put any judgments on the quality of any source, author, or element of the setting here in the wiki.

Enter the Mists...

Welcome to Mistipedia, a Ravenloft Wiki, brought to you by the Fraternity of Shadows!

The goal of Misitpedia is to be a repository of all knowledge regarding the Ravenloft fantasy horror campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. If you are new to Ravenloft, please consider reading the FAQ before diving in.

Warning to Players: By necessity, Mistipedia contains many spoilers and other information that DMs may not want their players to know. (Not to mention that every DM changes the details of his or her Ravenloft, so facts listed here may not be true in your campaign.) Please check with your DM before proceeding.


Categories: Campaigns - Cities, Towns, & Villages - Creators (Authors, Artists, & Designers) - Domains - Events - Items - Locations - Magic & Spells - Masque of the Red Death / Gothic Earth - Merchandise (Miniatures, Promotional Items) - Monsters & Creatures - NPCs - Societies & Groups - Sources (Books, Netbooks, Websites)
