Weplead for thy so desperately needed assistance.  \nThe love ofmy life, Ireena Kolyana, has been afflicted by an evil so deadly that even thegoodpeople ofour town cannotprotect her. She languishesfrom her wound and Iwouldhave her savedfrom this menace.  \nThere is much wealth in this community. Ioffer all that might be had to thee and thyfellowsifthou shalt but answer my desperate plea.  \nCome quicklyfor her time is at hand! All that Ihave shall be  \nthine!  \nKolyan Indrirovich, Burgomaster  \nHail thee of might and valor;  \nI, the Burgomaster of Barovia send you honor–with despair.  \nMy adopted daughter, the fair Ireena, has been these past nights bitten by a vampyr. For over 400 years, this creature has drained life blood of my people. Now, my dear Ireena languishes and dies from an unholy wound caused by this vile beast. He has become too powerful to be fought any longer.  \nSo I say to you, give us up for dead and encircle this land with the symbols of good. Let holy men call upon their power that the devil may be contained within the walls of weeping Barovia. Leave our sorrows to our graves, and save the world from this evil fate of ours.  \nThere is much wealth entrapped in this community. Return for your reward after we are all departed for a better life.  \nKolyan Indirovich,  \nBurgomaster  \nMyfriends,  \nKnow that it is Iwho have broughtyou tothisland, my home, andknow thatIalone can releaseyoufrom it.

Iawaityour arrival.  \nYour host,  \nStrahd von Zarovich  \nMymostpathetic servant,  \nIam not a messiah sent toyou by the Dark Powers ofthis land. Ihave not come to leadyou on apath to immortality. However many soulsyou have bled onyour hidden altar, however many visitorsyou have tortured inyour dungeon, know thatyou are not the ones who brought me to this beautiful land. You are but worms writhing in my earth.  \nYou say thatyou are cursed, yourfortunes spent. You abandoned lovefor madness, took solace in the bosom ofanother woman, and sireda stillborn son. Cursed by darkness? Ofthat Ihave no doubt. Saveyoufromyour wretchedness? Ithink not. Imuchpreferyou asyou are.  \nYour dread lord and master, Strahd von Zarovich  \nIam the Ancient, Iam the Land. My beginnings are lost in the darkness ofthepast. Iwas the warrior, Iwasgood andjust. Ithundered across the land like the wrath ofajustgod, but the waryears and the killing years wore down my soul as the windwears stone into sand.  \nAllgoodness slippedfrom my life; Ifound my youth and strengthgone, and all Ihad left was death. My army settled in the valley ofBarovia andtook power over thepeople in the name ofKarrn the Conqueror, but we had none ofKarrn's charisma or vitality.  \nIcalledfor myfamily, long unseatedfrom their ancient thrones, and brought here to settle in the castle Ravenloft. They came with ayounger brother of mine, Sergei. He was handsome andyouthful. Ihatedhimfor both.  \nFrom thefamilies ofthe valley, one spirit shone above all others. Arare beauty, who was called \"perfection\", \"joy\", and \"treasure. ”Her name was Tatyana, and Ilongedfor her to be mine.  \nIlovedher with allofmy heart. Ilovedherfor heryouth. Ilovedherfor herjoy. But she spurned me! \"Old One\" was my name toher- \"elder\"and \"brother\" also. Her heart went to Sergei. They were betrothed. The date was set.  \nWith words she called me \"brother,\" but when Ilooked into her eyes they reflectedanother name- \"death. \" It was the death ofthe agedthat she saw in me. She lovedheryouth and enjoyedit. ButIhad squandered mine.  \nThe death she saw in me turnedherfrom me. And so Icame to hate death, my death. My hate is very strong; Iwould not be called \"death\"so soon. Imade apact with death, apact ofblood. On the day ofthe wedding, I killed Sergei, my brother.
