As I recall, before the crash, both names are from I6: One is the original woman, the other is the presumed reincarnation.

Aha. Blame me for never having read or played I6!

Don't feel too bad. Ravenloft is one of my top three favorite published settings ever, and I didn't know the answer to that either, at first.

Points to those who remember her brother's name without looking at their copy of the original module (or the revised House of Strahd).

I6 and I10 are two of my favorite modules of all time. Superior to the campaign setting to my mind, simply because they hold the promise of a larger world beyond the borders of the adventure without actually spelling it out.

I hate it when they go and spoil that by explaining everything.

Cheers,
Cam

I like the 3E Ravenloft setting a great deal. Way better than the 2E setting. Not that it is terribly different. The biggest improvement is being able to start play at first level and have a decent chance of suviving. Even as a Paladin. I greatly enjoyed my 3E Ravenloft campaign that lasted until 11th level. Darn Army had us move to CA. Other than that the 3E setting has much more in common with the 2E setting than differences.

As for using the new castle in the Ravenloft world setting, I'm sure it will be very probable.

After almost two decades of Ravenloft as a setting, I've got zero problem with them stepping back to a reimagining of I6. I look forward to sticking Castle Ravenloft in a remote mountainous region of Praemal and giving my players a very rough time ...

I think it's obvious that the Eberron sidebar will be placing Barovia in Kaarnath.
