[Update 1.2] 2E-6 Romulich Orchard

Board

Ch. 2E-6 Romulich Orchard (Source: Ravenloft: Gazetteer Volume 1 Pg. 30)
“The premier orchards – such as Antoanetas, Luminitus, and Romulich – are concentrated along the Old Svalich Pass and especially in the region surrounding Vallaki.”

SETUP: The Romulich Family is infamous for having more skeletons in the closet than any other family in Vallaki. They are known around town as key figures in the Vallaki underworld. As Vallaki is known as a place for dark secrets, the Romulich family is known to be traders of those secrets. Their family does not stop there, though. They are also known as dealers in narcotics and flesh. They run opium dens and pleasure houses. They deal in illicit goods and stolen booty. Just about every form of debauchery may be attributed to their name. And yet, they remain untouchable because of their high status as a noble family in Vallaki. Besides, the Romulich family produces a fine wine that brings in a tremendous profit to the village. Without their wine, the village would be in dire financial straights.

Welcome to the Romulich Orchard

Located straight west after the Luna River Crossing, the Romulich Orchard stands ready for stories to be crafted for the location. As there is literally no description of the area I made a very generic location. This will possibly get updated as I continue to write encounters and side stories for my expanded Ravenloft.

[Update!] I’ve found some information regarding the Romulich family, if you consider the Undead Sea Scrolls at all, it’s still a good jump off point to give the Orchard and Family some background! I’ve updated to board to match/take into consideration the new information.

Changelog.

Version 1.0 – Release
Version 1.1 – Updated board taking into consideration the Undead Sea Scrolls 2003.
Version 1.2 – Minor edits, removed a stand-in NPC I was developing.
