Barovia

Barovia is pretty much Ravenloft's Transylvania. The language, Balok, seems to be a slavic type of language.
The terrain is mountainous and forested, winters are cold. A beautiful but hostile domain.

Assumptions

Most of the map presented here is 'canon'. That is to say I didn't actually make up much. I found a place for the villages Berez, Cuzau and Hoessla (all mentioned in the I, Strahd novels), and I'm pretty sure they're on the right spot.

The only addition is Uselix, a village mentioned in CRG:The Created. The guide puts theis village on the flank of a snow-covered mountain, and Mount Sawtooth seemed as good a choice as any.
All other places were taken form the original maps, and would be correct.
