The Mists of Barovia
The Mists of Barovia
The mist that surrounds and pervades Barovia appears to be semi-sentient or at least responsive. Observed behaviors in Session 1:
- Transported the party overnight from their original camp into Barovia without their consent
- Eats the road and landscape behind travelers as they move forward
- Deposits travelers who try to leave back onto the road (Celeste gained one level of exhaustion attempting to go 10 feet sideways into it)
- Objects thrown into the mist continue to exist and fall normally
- Sticking a hand in produces no effect
- Stops at the gate of Death House and does not enter
- Surrounds Death House completely
The Burgomaster's letter suggests it can be "encircled" with holy symbols to keep Strahd contained — implying the mist is associated with Strahd's power or domain.
