Vallaki

Vallaki is a mountain town in the north of Barovia. It sits on the shore of Lake Zarovich at the foot of Mount Baratok. The town is surrounded by a wooden palisade with gatehouse towers at the entrance. The approach to the town is littered with wolf's heads impaled upon stakes, and a seemingly persistent, low level mist covers the ground.

The lord of Vallaki was "Baron" Vargas Vallakovich, prior to his death at the hands of Rahadin during Strahd's attack on the town.

Current Events
When the party first entered the town the residents were preparing for the latest of its myriad festivals, the Festival of the Burning Sun. There was a large, wicker sun set up in the center of town. There were also a series of stocks set up in which 3 men, 2 women, and 2 boys were being held with paper mache donkey heads covering their faces. The party had attempted to hatch a scheme with the Wachter Brothers to free the prisoners, but became waylaid by the events in the coffin maker's workshop.

Strahd had several vampire spawn, disguised as town guards, infiltrate the festival. They engaged Izek in combat and forced him to flee, leaving the Burgomaster to retreat to his mansion for safety.

Using an invitation to dinner as a ruse to lure the party out of town, Strahd sent Rahadin and his agents in to murder the Burgomaster and set fire to St Andral's Church.
