The Hold of Blaustein is a small island nation located off the coast of Dementlieu.[1][2][2.1] The ruler is known only as Bluebeard, whose seat of power is at Castle Bluebeard, although he is rarely to be found there.[3]

The Land

Blaustein is a tiny, flat island with flora and wildlife that is typical of such a region. Located at the northern part of the island is Castle Bluebeard and the village beneath it.[4][4.1]

The People

The folk of Blaustein are generally a happy lot, a rarity in the domains of Dread. The Blausteiner loyalty to their lord Bluebeard is absolute, and they follow his decrees without question.[3] In contrast to their utmost love for their lord, the folk of Blaustein show a rabid hatred for foreigners who would land upon their docks- taking torch and club to such unexpected visitors.[4][4.2][5.1]


There is a small trade hamlet and port on the other side of the island run by a Vistani tasque that offers safe haven to foreign travellers - going to Castle Bluebeard and its surrounding village is a death sentence for the typical foreigner.[6][6.1]

The Law

Bluebeard and his cult of personality is the only law on Blaustein. So much as simply displeasing the man can result in a grisly execution - or worse. His own subjects fall victim to his wrath quite often, and one can expect to see a corpse hanging from the noose at the docks of Blaustein. Despite this obvious tyranny, his people still blindly adore their lord.[4.3]
