Ghastria is a dull, gray island domain ruled by a darklord who is a pastiche of Dorian Gray (see: The Picture of Dorian Gray) with some inspiration from the Marquis De Sade. Ghastria is infested with ghasts, ghouls and carrion crawlers. No food produced here has any flavour whatsoever. The domain is the Core's leading producer of umbral gray, an element used in paintings to add a smoky, misty effect but which is also a lethal poison. The darklord has discovered that by mixing carrion crawler venom with umbral gray, one eliminates the latter's strong flavour, making it much more useful as a poison.
Marquis Stezen D'Polarno is the darklord and ruler of the island. His curse is that that he cannot feel any form of emotion (this has the physical effect of leaving him a dull gray in colour) unless he has recently sucked the life out of otheres by showing them his self-portrait. He always plans great things for the time when he regains his emotions, but he lacks the discipline to follow through on them, never getting anything accomplished.
Ghastria was a domain in the second edition of Ravenloft, and hasn't been translated into the third edition. Ghastria first appeared in the 2-round RPGA tournament "Dance of the Dead" written by James Lowder and Bruce Nesmith.
