**Campaign setting**

This campaign setting will take place in the embercore. You're a person that has lived in this horrible place as long as you can remember.

You might have once supported the ideals of the empire or you were always against it. 

Maybe you finally had enough or something is forcing you to flee. Maybe some of the ideals still linger in your mind and you have a hard time leaving them behind. Either way somehow you find yourself in a search for something that can change your current situation. You're looking for the resistance. A group that only seems to exist in the hopes and dreams of the people struggling to stay alive. But you've found some clues that it's not just talk amongst the poor. You found out there might actually be a group hiding on the Lost isle. An island that once was alive until the empire cut it off completely. 

You gathered your courage and left your life behind in search for the resistance.

It began with strangers in brightly colored wagons — music, laughter, and the scent of exotic spices drifting through the air. They called themselves Vistani, travelers from a distant, hidden land. One evening, they camped just outside Daggerford, their firelight casting strange, dancing shadows. Duchess Morwen of Daggerford has invited you to dinner as she discusses with you these strangers. Why are they here? When do they leave?

Going over to investigate your are welcomed as they mean no harm. They have a story to tell, if you listen to their story, they agree to leave Daggerford behind them. So you join arround their dancing flames and listen intently. As the fire dances to picture the story being told.

“A curse has befallen our noble prince, turning him into a tyrant. We alone have the power to leave his domain. We’ve traveled far and wide to find heroes such as yourselves to end our dread lord’s curse and put his troubled soul to rest. Our leader, Madam Eva, knows all. Will you return to Barovia with us and speak with her?”

They also hand you a sealed letter — the beginning of a journey that may end in glory… or death.
