Church of the Morning Lord

A gray stone-and-wood church on a slight rise at the north end of the village of Barovia. Obviously old. Claw marks and burn scars on the heavy front doors. A bell tower at the back. Flickering light visible through holes in the shingled roof.

Run by Father Donavich, who has held this position long enough to watch the graveyard's midnight procession become routine.

The church provides protection from supernatural attack — nothing attacks Donavich while he remains inside. This has been tested extensively.

Basement

A trapdoor in the southeast room leads down. Heavy wooden trap door, chain, and padlock. Doru — Father Donavich's son, vampire spawn — is chained below, unfed, screaming. The party spoke to him through the door and left him there.

Graveyard

Cemetery behind the church. Strange things happen at midnight: a green light fills the yard, and a ghostly procession of fallen adventurers marches out, heading west toward Castle Ravenloft. They have been doing this as long as Donavich can remember.

Kolyan Indirovich was buried here at dawn, Session 4.
