Van Richten’s Tower
On the misty shores of Lake Baratok stands a lonely stone tower, equal parts refuge, ruin, and deathtrap. Once the domain of the wizard Khazan and later the hidden base of Rudolph van Richten, the tower now holds dangerous secrets and lingering magic.
Yester Hill
At the far western edge of Barovia, Yester Hill rises beneath a sky of constant storm, its dead grass and black cairns encircling a place of ancient burial and corrupted ritual.
Ruins of Berez
Once a thriving riverside village, Berez now lies drowned beneath marsh and fog, its ruins haunted by tragedy and ruled by one of Barovia’s oldest evils.
The Greywall Alehouse
The Greywall Alehouse sits on a busy corner of Brightcrown’s Steel Ward, its thick stone walls and timber beams built to outlast both weather and arguments.
Lower Courthouse Chamber
Chamber Three of the Brightcrown Lower Courthouse is a formal yet well-worn judicial space where the everyday machinery of law grinds forward.
Palace Records Office
Stack Level B of the Palace Records Office sits quietly on the second floor of the administrative wing, a long rectangular archive reserved for the paperwork of governance that no one expects to read again.
Inspection Yard
The Inspection Yard lies just inside Brightcrown’s eastern gate, a broad cobblestone space where commerce, travelers, and scrutiny converge.
City Guard Headquarters — The Muster Hall
The Muster Hall is the beating heart of Brightcrown’s civic order — a broad, functional chamber of worn stone and disciplined routine.
