Ch. 2E-D: Jarvinak & Plesu Estate
(Source: I, Strahd Pg. 60)
Ch. 2E-D-1: Jarvinak
SETUP: Jarvinak is, or was as of 348 BC, a village three or four miles from Renika.
Approaching from the North.
The dirt and mud from the Old Svalich Road clings to your clothes as to drag you down. The woods moan and creak as the leaves sway in the wind. You turn the bend and see a small farming community appear in the distance. The buildings groan with age, the wood worn throughout the years as the crops force themselves out of the dirt below them reaching into the skies. Hardy men and women fill the fields and streets giving the semblance of life in the small hamlet.
Perception DC 10: While the villagers transverse their day to day chores, you notice that they do so, wordlessly, the village stands almost deafeningly silent.
Welcome to the Village of Jarvinak.
I’m currently in the middle of redoing my expansions to Barovia and decided to change the naming scheme for my own sanity. The Village(?) of Jarvinak is mentioned once in the I, Strahd book, one of the few I don’t have/can’t find (DM me please if you could help.) But as far as Mistopedia says, there is really only one line about it.
“Jarvinak is, or was as of 348 BC, a village three or four miles from Renika.”
This really gives us a DM’s/GM’s the freedom to do what we will. It’s a small farming community that your party will run into after the Weary Horse Inn. I didn’t include really any places of importance because there is none and will leave it to the y’all to figure out for your campaigns! Please tell me what you come up with and maybe we can build this village together. The Plesu Estate lies across the Ivlis River with no seeable way to get to it, it exists purely as a household to the late Prince Aurel Plesu, who is buried in the crypt under Castle Ravenloft. So essentially, do with it as you will, but most likely it is run down and most likely haunted.
EDIT: I’ve added a few new locations and even made one for the Burgomaster’s Mansion, I’ll continue to fill out Jarvinak soon!
Please enjoy!
Changelog.
Version 1.0 – Release
Version 1.1 – Added four locations, Burgomaster’s Mansion, General Store, The Market, and the Burned Down House.
