[QUOTE="Mystaros, post: 3127843, member: 3921"] To give Barovia that mixed Transylvanian feel, Ket is your best bet. Barovia fits in two general areas, both far out from the more heavily populated areas. Note this is all based just on the clasic boxed set; I'm not sure about the current status of things with the new editions. First, and I think best, it could be set in the Barrier Hills, the extension of the Barrier Peaks between the peaks and the Bramblewood. These hills are quite steep, which fits in well with the isolated nature of Barovia. Close enough to the Paynims to be raided, close enough to Ket to have once been a part of it, and in an area where hills, mountains, and forests meet. I'd put it in hex Q5-103 or thereabouts. Then there are the Yatils to the north; there are no hills on the Ket side, save for the Tusman Hills, which are inhabited by a fiercely independent hill people. The valley at R5-94 would work nicely; the hill tribes would avoid the region, it being taboo. The hills around Molvar are way too close to the capital. There is a spur of the Bramblewood in the northeast, which meets a spur of the Yatils, and that point would be a good location for Barovia. Being in the eastern section, it would be more Suel/Oerdian rather than Baklunish, and being in the mountainous region, more isolated. Hexes F5-92, G5-92, F5-91, or G5-91 work nicely. [/QUOTE]
