This is English version of Barovia Map. I hope you enjoy it.

Technique: ink (hand-drawn), photoshop (typography).

Background:

Cartographer - in the world of the game - is Belizario Zoppoda, a member of the Guvners Faction in Sigil.

He blindly adheres to the principle that says: "All are governed by laws, many of them hidden. Learn the laws of the Multi-World and you will rule it".

Zoppoda is absolutely certain that he is able to discover the laws governing the Ravenloft semi-plan, so that his faction can subjugate this world. He started his research with Barovia. He had travelled across this county, taking notes and drawing sketches, which he later used to create the map.

And he created it not in a perfectly equipped workshop, but in the field - in peasant homesteads, dirty inns, at a glade in the forest, on top of a mountain.

Hence, there would be a few blobs, some spots of dried blood, rushed notes, bizarre symbols, etc.

Now Belizario is almost certain that he has discovered the pattern on which the powerful spell that transferred the Barovia to the Ravenloft was based. He thinks that just a few more weeks of research is enough to break the power of this spell and take absolute control of this land.

After all, infinite knowledge gives infinite power.

Or maybe it is all the delusion of a madman who was trapped by Dark Powers on the Semi-Plan of Dread mocking his pride?

I will not answer this question. Answer it yourself.

And the heroes who are traversing the Barovia may meet Zoppoda on their way, or find his map.
Maybe they will want to help him, or they will want to stop him.
