[NEW] Curse of Strahd | Beginner's Friendly | Level 1 (Thursday 2)

Barovia is not merely trapped in mists — it is trapped in tragedy. Villagers live in constant dread, clinging to fading candles while wolves howl with human cunning. Every path leads back to Castle Ravenloft, where Strahd von Zarovich watches from eternal loneliness, convinced love can be commanded and life preserved only through death. The land itself conspires against hope, twisting fate into sorrow. Heroes do not simply fight monsters here; they fight despair.

¿Will you break the cycle of heartbreak… or become just another ghost the mists refuse to release?
