With over 20 years of experience this game is a great game for a first time player as I am willing to help them learn the game, I will warn you that the lands are cursed.
Barovia was a land wrapped in eternal mist, where the sun never shone and the air felt thick with a quiet sadness. The people lived in silence, their lives weighed down by an unseen force. They had forgotten what joy truly felt like, existing only to survive. In the town of Vallaki, the stone buildings sagged, and the streets were deserted except for the occasional figure passing in haste.
There was no ruler here—no tyrant, no dark lord. There was only the land itself, cursed, as old as the fog that crept over it. Whispers told of a time when Barovia was not so bleak, but such stories seemed distant, like fragments of a dream that had long faded.
Beyond the town, the forest stretched on endlessly, dark and foreboding. Creatures roamed within it, but none dared to venture too far. The trees, twisted and gnarled, seemed to lean in toward the path, their branches creaking as though they had stories to tell but couldn’t remember the words.
Barovia was a place forgotten by time, a land where no cure could be found, and the darkness would endure forever.
