D&D 5E Ravenloft: The Vhage Agency.

[Professor Murder]

So I'm planning on using the Vhage Agency as the framing device for my upcoming game. I think its great and has some real potential.
BUT
The name just doesn't work for me. Just feels meh. Same with the name of the Darklord, Flimira “Flintlock” Vhage.
I think I will be changing both.
Thoughts?

I don't believe this is not In VRGtR, and since that is about the extent of my knowledge on the Domains of Dread, so can you give me a short description of the Domain, the Agency, and the Darklord?

Think noir detective agency, where everything is in black and white, with a shady figure who doles out adventure clues.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

Just call it "The Agency."

Yep, that is definitely more nebulous and a bit sinister

Everything inside the office of the Vhage Agency appears as a monotone gray. Anyone who passes the frosted glass door that leads into this single-room domain is expected by Flimira "Flintlock" Vhage, the detective agency's owner. From this hub for occult detective adventures, Vhage collects mysterious correspondence relating to mysteries all across the Domains of Dread. She enlists agents to investigate these cases, and then report back to her. However, she never reveals her own past as a detective turned criminal, her involvement in every case her agency investigates, or that the Vhage Agency exists entirely within her mind.

I assume this is from VRGtR? I haven't read cover to cover, so do you care to point me in the right direction? She is definitely not one of the Darklords I am stating and I thought I got all of them that had a profile.

It is yes, it's in the section of the Domains where they put like a paragraph or two of description for each Demiplane. I don't remember what page, but its the same chapter as the rest.

 

[Ancalagon]

... is it a reference to "voyage" - ie trip, journey in French?

The film noir domain is briefly described in VGR under "Other Domains of Dread". In game it's named for the agency's head/dark lord. Out of game, I don't know where the name came from.
