This leaves the door open to reveal as much or as little info about a location as you’d like. It’s stylistic, and distances are not exact, but most major points of interest in Barovia are marked on it, and Esmeralda is willing to share what info and rumors she has gathered about any places notated on her map. Narratively, Esmeralda created this map during her travels. After establishing a bit of trust, she ended up giving the party this map to help them along their way. Having no real sense of the size of the country made the land feel large, scary, and unknowable, which was my intent.Īfter Vallaki, their mission broadened and the game became a little more “open world.” So, very soon after they left Vallaki, I had them run into Esmeralda (who happened to be their fated ally) on the road. They heard gossip of other places through the grapevine along the way, but no major details. They navigated from Barovia Village to Vallaki based on rumors, a little guesswork, and a general sense of direction down the Old Svalich Road. I did not give a map to my party for some time.
