St. Andral's Church

A grand stone church rises above the surrounding buildings, its spire a beacon of hope. Inside, the air feels cleaner, lighter, as if divine protection dwells here. Intricate wards are carved into the walls—protection against the darkness that prowls outside.

Overview

St. Andral's Church is the spiritual center of Vallaki, presided over by Father Lucian. Unlike the Church of the Morning Lord in Barovia, St. Andral's has maintained stronger defenses against the corruption of Strahd's curse.

These defenses come from the Bones of St. Andral, sacred relics that power the protective wards. The bones were stolen, putting the church—and the town—at risk.
