This pal want suggestion as to where put the famous Castle Ravenloft and the region in Forgotten Realms, adapted of course (new or old and converted module(s), not sure).

Basicaly, I need suggestion for a region that match Barovia of Ravenloft - your classic dark central/eastern europe from gothic tales. Perhaps the north of the Uther East that Markus worked on?

Gimme your hints, tips and ideas.

-Rasheman is very 'Russian/Eastern European', and could 'contain' Castle Ravenloft fairly easily.

03-02-08, 02:50 AM That area has the closest thing FR has to the Euro-Slavic feel of Translvania.

Damara, or perhaps on the border somewhere, between that nation and Narfell, or even in Northern Cormyr - I placed a town called Collinwood SE of Eveningstar, with the sole purpose of having a 'Count Dracula' type of NPC ruling the place.

You could even make it a petty Kingdom in the North somewhere, just like that one that appeared in that Wulfgar novel.

Pretty much Barnabis Collins in FR, and the Halflings that fled Black Oaks during the Avatar Crisis resettled there.
