Strahd's Domain

Welcome to the wicked world of Ravenloft...

Being an ancient vampire, Strahd has seen and done a lot both in his mortal lifetime and as a vampire. Unfortunately dates sometimes do not agree with one another in the various Ravenloft sources, but I have done my best to compile a reasonable timeline of events.
