Almost without exception, anything that is not human, whether it’s a rat or an angel, is a potential enemy. Horrors o� the Night The people of Innistrad are surrounded by monsters. Only their grim determination-and their staunch faith in the protection of their patron archangel, Avacyn-has allowed humans to survive in this nightmarish realm. Humanity is beset on all sides: vampires thirst for human blood, werewolves live for the thrill of the hunt, the restless spirits of the dead haunt the living, and no corpse is safe from reanimation at the hands of cruel necromancers or cunning scientists. T�e Wo�ld On the plane of Innistrad, horrors stalk the shadows and scratch at doors in the night. For these reasons, material in this supplement James Wyatt The game mechanics in this supplement are usable in your D&D campaign but are not fully tempered by playtests and design iterations. With a bit of creative improvisation, these tips should get you on your way. This document also contains guidelines for adapting the Curse of Strahd adventure adventure to set it in Innistrad. This document is designed to help you turn the book’s book’s adventure hooks and story seeds into a resource for your your campaign with w ith a minimum minimu m of changes to the fth edition D&D rules. An abundance of lore about Innistrad can be found on the Magic website. All this th is meant that I turned my attention pretty quickly to the next installment, Plane installment, Plane Shift: Shift: Innistrad! The starting point for this document was The Art of Magic: The Gathering-Innistrad. Consider Gathering-Innistrad. Consider that book to be a useful resource in creating your In nistrad campaign, but not strictly necessary. I had already nished writing The Art of Magic: Magic: The Gathering-Innistrad, Gathering- Innistrad, at at the same time that Curse of Strahd , a horror-themed adventure for Dungeons for Dungeons & Dragons, was Dragons, was on the t he shelves. By the time Plane time Plane Shift: Shift: Zendikar saw saw the light of day, day, the game and a nd story of Magic: of Magic: The Gathering had moved on from Zendikar and started the tale of Shadows over Innistrad .Abandoned by their angels and hunted by vampires, all the Stensians can do is endure the unending dusk. Avacyn and Sigarda offer scant hope to his grim subjects. His bloodline is small and mostly irrelevant to the larger world, but in the outland valleys of Stensia, he is the ultimate master.

The lord of this bleak, remote part of Stensia’s Stensia’s outland valleys is Strefan Maurer, who drank angel’s angel’s blood alongside Edgar Markov and Olivia Voldaren Voldaren centuries ago. Wisps of thick fog twine amid the trunks of black pines in the Somberwald, thick bogs suck dead de ad trees slowly down into their murky depths, and dusky pastureland provides scant sustenance to ocks of scrawny sheep.

Stoic and enduring, the peo ple of Stensia huddle in their stone-crafted villages- villages-Shadowgrange, Shadowgrange, Krezk, Lammas-built against the mountainsides. The jagged spires of Maurer Maurer Estate jut up from the peaks, keeping silent watch over the isolated valley.
