Most Dark Lords has get out of death free cards. Most donations only spawned into existence when the dark lord emerged from the Mists, fully populated. The core had changed geography once, including a giant nation-sized hole in it. Islands appear, disappear and merge into bigger islands. The coast disappears crossing from Mordent to Valachan. The moon is different in three neighboring domains. A whole fricken sea appeared on the Eastern side of the core and people just started fishing and boating there. Strahd can throw a hissy fit and close the borders of Barovia to traders and invaders alike. Ravenloft has been artificial from the jump and Arthaus's attempts to make Ravenloft behave like a real campaign world were admirable, but it was never going to work. Let Ravenloft be a nightmare or let it be a spooky prime world, but straddling both didn't work.</p></blockquote><p></p>
