@ChrisPerkinsDnD what entity do you imagine Strahd made his dark pact with?

The "Dark Powers" give rise to the domains of dread in the Shadowfell. A different take would be the Raven Queen. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/KS9yQmZU9A

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JoomzDaBoomz didn't RQ abhor undead? Or has that changed in 5e

The Raven Queen can be whatever you want her to be in your home campaign. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/A9O6oE8cLP

Orcus would be a common choice, but a dark vestige of an exiled devil or similar could be fun.
