Strahd's parents are referred to as King Barov and Queen Ravenovia. It can take decades for a bodiless soul to find a host, and Barovians who share the same soul over generations tend to look alike."įrom what I can tell, a number of the NPCs in Curse of Strahd are either NPCs from previous adventures reborn, children of previous NPCs or, weirdest of all, their own grandchildren.
