Looks like Verbrek didn't make the cut...

 

[Mind of tempest]

Looks like Verbrek didn't make the cut...

verbrek?

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

oh god-oh god-oh god-oh god-oh god-oh god

Relentless Slasher! yeahhhhh!

 

[Charlaquin]

Not Markov, Markovia. Markovia is already a Ravenloft thing, Island of Dr. Moroue style.

 

[The Glen]

verbrek?

Werewolf land.

true but I have no idea what cyre is and it might be connected to something important.

Cyre is the kingdom that was magically nuked during the Last War, and became the Mournlands.

true but I have no idea what cyre is and it might be connected to something important.

It's one of the big mysteries of the setting. Imagine the battle of normandy is going on and suddenly an Atom bomb goes off but the blast extends to the borders of normandy & nobody claims responsibiliy or understands the resulting fallout. It's also very notable that keith has written about cyre & cyre/ravenloft

• Dragonmarks 5/02/16: Ravenloft and Cyre​

• 12/12/18 Dragonmarks: Cyre​

• and discussed it in podcasts​

Well, there is some interesting confirmations here from Black Dice Society and other places

1.) Nepenthe is a greatsword who seeks Justice(TM). Isolde is an eladrin who seeks it. The sword drives her into fits of rage when pursuing it. This is a subtle change from 2e's Isode.
2.) Azalin is NOT the Darklord of Darkon anymore. Which again fits his role as a meddler and "King without a Kingdom"
3.) Tepest got a single hag darklord rather than the trio
4.) Jandar Sunstar is a part of the setting. I don't know how much tie he stil to the Morninglord religion now...
5.) Other Groups seems like a good place for the Church of Ezra
6.) Bodytaker plants are Doppelganger plants from 2e
7.) The Caller is the Gentleman Caller who factors into Isode and Gabrielle's stories.

Seems they crammed a lot into it, though I'm disappointed many classic domains got the "less than a page" treatment in Other Domains section...

Edit: Tovag is still a domain; looks like Kas got left when Vecna left Ravenloft...

 

[Gangrel44]

And seeing that Kartakass is in the book, it's funny that Wolfweres are nowhere to be found in the Monsters of Ravenloft section...

 

[Ath-kethin]

Hmm. Bluetsput front and center + Nosferatu makes me interested.

No mention of Sithicus though. I wonder if it's been retconned out or of it's part of/involved in the new Dragonlance stuff.
