Hello,
Newbie here, first time posting. Hello to all. There is something that I swear I remembered reading in the 2nd edition Ravenloft book, but I bought the book again recently and discovered it was NOT in there.
I could have sworn I remembered reading something in this edition where there was a discussion about how to escape Ravenloft. The text was mentioning how no one really knew a way. However, in passing, it mentioned something about how there was "a piece of the sun" buried beneath Castle Ravenloft, and if adventures unearthed it, the curse would be lifted, and all of Ravenloft would go back to the prime material plane.
Also, I am positive it said "the Sun," NOT the "Sunsword," which of course is something completely different.
I cannot find any reference to this on discussion boards, Reddit, etc.
Can someone else confirm if they ever read such a thing? If not...well, this was my last ditch effort to see if anyone else had ever heard of it. If it's a bust, then I will just find some other method for my PCs to get out. However, I thought it would be pretty cool if I was right, and this myth really had been mentioned somewhere.
Thanks.
