Nestled in the Barovian valley, the namesake heart of Barovia, the Village of Barovia "enjoys" the distinction of being imprisoned within Strahd's Choking Fog. The village of Barovia's origins are lost to time, but most believe that some sort of community existed here well before the building of Castle Ravenloft, serving as a waypoint for those crossing the Svalich Pass. The community grew with the construction of the castle, swelling with workers to its current number.[1]

Since the construction of the castle, the Village of Barovia has often been held hostage by the choking mists that form part of Castle Ravenloft's supernatural defences, inhabitants and travellers alike only able to escape by means of the protective elixir the vistani sell for a steep price.[1] This has lead to a deep resentment of the vistani among the local population, and the Zarovan encampment is therefore kept on the other side of the fog, on the banks of Tser Pool.[2]

The village hosts two inns: the Blood o' the Vine Inn[3][4][5] and the Wolf's Den[6][7]. The former is the secret headquarters of the Keepers of the Black Feather.[5]
