Campaign of the Month: February 2023
The Domain of Dread Council Meeting
Main Page
Unaware to the Adventurers the effects where felt far and wide, in the mists of Ravenloft.. bordering between the Ethereal Plane and Shadowfell where ideas shape reality here too changes occurred.
Barriers between Domains that previously trapped the Dreadlords within their own personal hell started to weaken.. and then break..
Old domains twisted into new shapes while new domains grew in response to new fears emerging.
To some this provided opportunity, to others relief, Dreadlords for the first time could leave their domain… but to do so carried it’s own risk..
Because in Ravenloft fear is power.. and to leave your domain opens it up for someone else to step into your place.
