It fits the aesthetics of gothic horror and helps make PC parties feel more like outsiders. But, I wouldn’t have them be exclusively human.For my take on Curse of Strahd, what I’ve done is made dusk elves the native inhabitants of the valley before Strahd conquered it, though they’re nearly extinct. The Barovian settlers were all human, so modern Barovia is still majority human with some elves and half-elves here and there. But also, Vistani travel beyond the borders of Barovia, sometimes bringing non-human people with them, and adventurers occasionally get shlorped into Barovia by the mists. And at least some of those people stay there, and at least some of them have kids. So, other humanoid races can be found in Barovia, but they’re the minority, and they’re treated with similar suspicion to Vistani and other outsiders.</blockquote>
