Opalbrand, Blade of the Vistani Vault
Among the silks and silver of the Vistani treasure caravan, nestled between a lacquered music box and a bundle of star charts, lies a longsword unlike any other. Its blade gleams with a tempered grace, etched faintly with curling motifs that shimmer only in firelight. The hilt is wrapped in worn leather, softened by time and touch, and the crossguard bears the delicate filigree of a master smith’s hand.
But it is the pommel that draws the eye—a cabochon opal, alive with color, flickering between stormy blue, ember orange, and the pale green of spring leaves. The stone pulses faintly, as if remembering the hands that once wielded it, or the songs sung in its honor.
The Vistani speak of it with reverence, calling it Opalbrand, a relic of a forgotten duel beneath twin moons. They say it was gifted to their ancestors by a wandering prince, in exchange for safe passage and a tale well told. Now it rests among their treasures, waiting for a new story to begin.

Hail thee of might and valor:
I, the Burgomaster of Barovia, send you honor—with despair.
My adopted daughter, the fair Ireena Kolyana, has been these past nights bitten by a vampyr. For over four hundred years, this creature has drained the life blood of my people. Now, my dear Ireena languishes and dies from an unholy wound caused by this vile beast. He has become too powerful to conquer.
So I say to you, give us up for dead and encircle this land with the symbols of good. Let holy men call upon their power that the devil may be contained within the walls of weeping Barovia.
Leave our sorrows to our graves, and save the world from this evil fate of ours.
There is much wealth entrapped in this community. Return for your reward after we are all departed for a better life.

Hail thee of might and valor:
I, a lowly servant of Barovia, send honor
to thee. We plead for thy so desperately needed
assistance.
The love of my life, Ireena Kolyana, has been
afflicted by an evil so deadly that even the
good people of our village cannot protect her. She
languishes from her wound, and I would have her
saved from this menace.
There is much wealth in this community. I
offer all that might be had to thee and thy fellows
if thou shalt but answer my desperate plea.
Come quickly, for her time is at hand! All that
I have shall be thine!
