I have found my way to Barovia, this is my first entry from the nation.
I travelled with a strange man and his dog, he told me he could get me to Barovia, this wildland! Where our culture and technology has not yet fully reached. I heard many strange and dark stories from this land from others who travelled there for trade and exploration.
What I found most oddly was that the trip felt so short, the man smiled at me, his hair was graying, he was older then one thought and his dog seemed worn by age as well. One night he told me to be careful in Barovia, warned me of wandering the night and to be weary of what happens. Seemingly odd things been happening in Barovia, plagues and civil war? A keep had been destroyed he told me. We ate our soup and then I fell asleep with the man, sitting there, glancing at the star filled sky.
Upon waking up the man was gone, I called out for him but his dog did not come rushing like before to great me. All I found was a feather laying at the place he sat. It might be nothing but I keep it as memory of his odd disappearance. Perhaps he was jut a helpful man thinking he had done his job for now helping me get to Barovia? I do not know, at least not for now. I walked out of the woods and beyond the morning mist I saw a camp. Was it...was this one of the camps of the odd and mysterious Vistani? He had warned me not to get on the wrong foot with these, especially not in Barovia. I ventured up to the camp carefully, in my rather ugly and non glamorous outfit, in Dementliue they would have laughed, but non the less I was greeted by a man. They where suspicious of me, since I was a stranger erupting from the woods suddenly. But I spoke to one of their Vistana I believe it was called.
She shown me cards, my destiny? Cards showing sultry women and towers, it was odd and thinking of it with scientific thinking its nonsense but somehow I am not home anylonger and I do not dare disrespect this, the man had warned me and the woman told me to leave for the city of grey...What this all means is hard to say but I will venture to this city and I will see for myself what happens next.
