Dorvinia was a small, mountainous realm north of Barovia and northeast of Borca. Before the Grand Conjunction, Dorvinia was ruled by Ivan Dilisnya, who gained the domain when he fled into the mists for poisoning his sister and her husband, and attempting to kill their newborn child. Formerly flamboyant and a lover of the finer things in life, his personal curse is the loss of his sense of taste, leaving him murderously frustrated when others around him enjoy what he cannot anymore.

Dorvinia was centered around Mt. Gries, a misty, ragged mountain covered with evergreens that stretched into its valleys. Civilization existed in the form of three riverside villages, Lechberg, Ilvin, and Vor Ziyden.

During the Grand Conjunction, Dilisnya was in close proximity to the darklord of neighboring Borca, his own cousin Ivana Boritsi. Due to their similarities and proximity, their domains merged, and Dorvinia was absorbed into Borca. While Ivana still holds the majority of power, Ivan is no doubt a major part of the evil in the land.
