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
