Clarisse Harrowing is the protagonist of the short story Tales of Ravenloft: The House of a Hundred Windows. She is a former resident of Il Aluk[1], but she now resides in Evenore, where locally she is known as the Lady of Evenore.[2] She is the wife of Lord Gareff Harrowing[3], though he lay currently imprisoned somewhere within it.[2]

Background

Born and raised in Il Aluk into a wealthy merchant family, Clarisse was wed to Lord Gareff Harrowing in an arranged marriage. Bearing no love for her husband, Clarisse lived as a veritable prisoner in Lord Harrowing's manor estate.[4]

In order to achieve liberation from Lord Harrowing, she entreated with and eventually liberated Domenic. However, he was as oppressive a a lover as Lord Harrowing a husband. When both men became involved in mortal combat, they both called for Clarisse's support. She refused both and sealed them away in an otherworldly prison.[5]
