The Dark Powers
Character from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
The mysterious entities that created the Domains of Dread and imprisoned Strahd in Barovia — they feed on suffering and offer dark gifts to those foolish enough to accept them.
Also known as: The Dark Powers, the Powers, the entities behind the mist
What They Know
- They created and maintain the Domains of Dread, including Barovia
- They imprisoned Strahd as the Dark Lord of Barovia — his domain is both his kingdom and his cage
- They perpetuate Tatyana's reincarnation cycle to torment Strahd
- The vestiges in the Amber Temple are connected to them — the dark gifts they offer always come with hidden costs
- They feed on suffering and have no interest in anyone 'winning' — the game is the point
- The mists that seal Barovia are their creation and their will
- They cannot be fought, bargained with, or reasoned with — they are a force of nature
