Location from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast
An isolated, walled village at the western edge of Barovia — its people survive through strict self-sufficiency and the reluctant protection of a corrupted angel in the abbey above.
Krezk is the most isolated of Barovia's settlements, a small walled village tucked against the base of the mountains at the valley's western edge. Its burgomaster Dmitri Krezkov keeps the gates sealed against outsiders and the village running through communal farming, careful rationing, and sheer stubbornness. Above the village, perched on a rocky spur, sits the Abbey of Saint Markovia — once a place of holy refuge, now the domain of the Abbot and his mongrelfolk experiments. The villagers try not to think about what happens up there. The screams that occasionally drift down the mountainside are studiously ignored. Krezk has a blessed pool fed by a mountain spring that radiates faint divine energy — one of the few genuinely sacred sites left in Barovia. It is a quiet, fearful place, and its people survive by making themselves as small and unnoticeable as possible.
Also known as: Krezk, Village of Krezk, the walled village
