Upon My Death
Twentieth Day of the Sixth Moon
In the event of my death, it is my wish that someone take up a sharpened stake of silver and bury it in the chest of Strahd von Zarovich, who I believe to be a grand progenitor of vampires, and possibly the first of their kind. Strahd is connected to an ancient curse that now plagues all the innocent lives of Barovia. To put an end to this fiend and his curse is why I now draw breath.
If this book is found by someone who wishes to escape this dismal place, I direct you to find the Vistana seer, Madame Eva. She may be your only way out of the mists of Ravenloft and back to the safety of your world.
If this journal has been found by one who wishes to slay this archfiend, then you may be in luck. I have tracked Rudolph van Richten here to Barovia, and he may yet be alive. Seek him first, as he will be of paramount importance in your quest. He was my mentor and friend, and is among the greatest of the vampire hunters. If van Richten still lives, he will be able to help you defeat Strahd. With him at your side, you have a fighting chance.
If you cannot find van Richten, then this book can guide you and give you the tools that will hopefully serve you well in your quest to destroy evil.
