This document bears the offical seal of the Von Zarovich family, and is posted in all public meeting places. It is read aloud by town criers for those who cannot read:
"Attention, all people within Barovia!
I, Strahd, Lord and Master of Barovia, have learned that an adventurer named Ellana Twiggy has been presenting herself as my agent and using my name in an attempt to procure a sword that has been in my family for generations. Make no mistake, she is an imposter and the sword, which I have only recently regained from thieves, is safe in my possession.
For impersonating an agent of the Count, and for seeking to steal a precious family heirloom from myself, I hereby declare Ellana Twiggy an enemy of the State. She is to be captured by any means necessary, with a substantial award to any who bring her in.
Signed and sealed,
Count Strahd von Zarovich XI
Master of Barovia."
