What can Strahd do?

How did vecna escape ravenloft?

Who is the dark power that rules over Barovia?
In CoS, the Dark Power that rules over Barovia is named Vampyr (original, I know). As written, Vampyr is trapped in a vestige at the Amber Temple. However, I’ve changed this so that Vampyr is free, lingering in the mists that surround Barovia.
