I realize that some powerful entities from the Shadowfell have created a demi-plane to imprison monsters.
I have lost count of how many times my soul has been churned out into another life in the mists of Ravenloft. He was hoping to join an Outlands Expedition Team. Sergei was to be my groom we were going to leave Barovia after the honeymoon and live in Sigil, so I could continue my studies in an urban academic community. Three books and more than a dozen well cited scrolls on demi-planar mechanics all went out the window after I fell to my death running from Strahd on my wedding day after he butchered beautiful Sergei. The act of using magic to create liminal spaces such as in Leomund’s Tiny Hut, Bags of Holding and Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Mansion was my passion and specialty. I was an up-and-coming wizard who had written on demi-planar mechanics.
Few know that I was among those learned folk. Many might know that when Strahd built Castle Ravenloft he called forth many wizards and architects to build a castle his mother would be proud to inhabit.
Most know me because the monster known as Count Strah von Zarovich desires me. I have lived many lives here and remember most of them. Adventurers, Monster Hunters, Zealots, Tomb Robbers, Treasure-Seekers and Heroic Fools,
