Vistani Camps

Typical Vistani Camp

  The road gradually disappears and is replaced by a twisted, muddy path through the trees. Deep ruts in the earth are evidence of the comings and goings of wagons. The canopy of mist and branches suddenly gives way to black clouds boiling far above. There is a clearing here, net to a river that widens to form a small lake several hundred feet across. Five colorful round tents, each ten feet in diameter, are pitched outside a ring of four barrel-topped wagons. A much larger tent stands near the share of the lake, its sagging form lit from within. Near this tent, eight unbridled horses drink from the river.   The mournful straings of an accordiion clash with the singing of several brightly clad figures around the bonfire. A footpath continues beyond this encampment meandering north between the river and forest's edge.   This is fairly typical of Vistani camp and you are likely to see these dotting the lands of Barovia and other Dread Realms regions.
