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.[4.2][2.2]

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.[5][5.1]
The Law
|
|
This section contains canon Ravenloft information from officially published sources; see the References below. |
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]
