Ravenloft Gazeteer V

Foreword

While some affect the sun, and some the shade

Some flee the city, some the hermitage;

Their aims as various, as the roads they take

In journeying thro life; the task be mine,

To paint the gloomy horrors of the tomb;

Th appointed place of rendezvous, where all

These travellers meet.

Robert Blair, The Grave

reetings once again, my patron. No doubt

you have wondered what became of me

after I last wrote from Sithicus. Indeed,

these past weeks have proven most event-

ful, and only now do I once again have the

opportunity to contact you. Should my patron con-

duct similar projects in the future, he may wish to

contemplate more efficient means of relaying these

reports than relying on his brutish messengers.

I have traveled too long in the south. I dislike

these backward wilds, and I sense dark shadows

gathering around me. Indeed, I have suffered more

troubles in the last six months of this survey of the

Core than in its first year and a half combined. Not

even the five years before that, spent evading the

undead as I studied Necropolis, caused me such

consternation. Much from this recent leg of my

journey bothers me still. I have yet to determine

how I eluded a grisly end in Verbrek. Naturally, my

theories center around the strange bracer you be-

stowed upon me, but the nature of the so-called

protective magic locked within your gift remains

elusive. More than a year have I worn this device

locked around my wrist, Azalin. My annoyance is

countered only by my intellectual curiosity, and

that will not assuage me forever.

I must also confess that, although I left Sithicus

behind me well over a month ago, the phantasmal

guilt permeating that land lingers within me. These

shameful thoughts are most unlike the false memo-

ries Darkon feeds to our homelands newcomers;

shedding them is not so simple as leaving the

kingdom behind. The memories contain a certain

truth the truth in my daughters dying words

But never mind that. My most recent travails

took place just after I last wrote to you, my patron. My

schedule req uired that I cross the Balinoks q uickly.

As I noted then, I had once more chosen to utilize the

mist-walking talents of hireling Vistani rather than

submit myself again to that rolling coffin your repug-

nant underlings call a carriage. As much as I might

choke on these words, I must now admit that I would

have done well to heed your cautions concerning the

Vistani. I assure you, my dear patron, I shall not seek

out their services again.

I met with the Vistana I had hired shortly after

dusk, and he led me to his campsite. They were a

small troupe, just three men and a woman all told. A
