Location from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
A junction on the Old Svalich Road where paths diverge toward the village, the Tser Pool camp, and the road to Vallaki — a gallows stands here with a creaking rope.
The Barovian crossroads mark the intersection where the Old Svalich Road splits — one path leading to the village of Barovia, another winding toward Tser Pool and Vallaki. A gallows stands at the intersection, its rope swaying in a wind that touches nothing else. The wood is old but the rope is new. The crossroads are a natural meeting point and a natural ambush site. Strahd's minions often patrol here, and the gallows serves as a reminder of what happens to those who displease the lord of the land.
Also known as: the crossroads, Barovian crossroads
