Berez

castle glimpse

Built for a party of about level 9: random treasure here is rolled for that level.

Places

  • The Barrow Moor: Open moor in a cold fog: heather, black bog pools, and a long barrow ringed with standing stones beside the track. A random fight on the moor and marsh roads may play out here.
  • The Ruins of Berez: A village the Luna drowned: broken walls standing in reeds and black water, a white statue on the only dry mound, and in the middle, on a stump wider than a house, a hut that breathes.
  • Baba Lysaga's Hut: One crooked room on top of a giant stump, warmer than it should be: a hearth, a rocking chair, a cradle, jars that hum, and drawings of the same handsome boy pinned to every wall.
  • Beneath Marina's Monument: A dry stone vault under the statue on the mound, where the girl Strahd loved in Berez lies on a bier as if asleep, with his candles burning at her head and his roses at her feet.
  • The Marsh Track: A raised track of old logs across the marsh between Vallaki's lake and the drowned village, with reeds higher than a man on both sides.
  • The Sunken Causeway: A causeway of sunken logs and piled stone wanders across the bog by the Luna, black water and sucking mire on both sides, a few firm islands of dead trees. A random fight on the marsh roads may play out here.
