On this I agreeThe darklords are just...so cool
Good thing you edited your post, because my coat just has a Bruins logo on it, which feels highly out of place for a Lovectaft setting.It does, the coats are lovely and feel like something out of Lovecraft. Beautiful forests as well inland. And lots of historical buildings
EDIT: Coats should be coasts (though we do also have lovely coats)

Tristen is merely a noble. Malken is the Dark Lord and he has committed crimes.I don't feel confortable with the background of those darklords who didn't commited any crime, only to be the heir of the previous dark lord, for example sir Tristen Hiregaard, lord of Nova Vaasa.

And the Dark Forces feeding and reinforcing their compulsions and weaknesses for shiggles. Let's never forget that part. Ravenloft actively works to make the Darklords worse and the populace suffer for it.The idea of the darklords is that they've damned themselves, through their own actions and choices.
