History
When the planes were one, the valley of Barovia rested where the sea above Istrela laid. Some time very early on, a group called the Divinauts, including the Lich, helped the gods build an Amber Temple with amber sarcohogi to house a number of dark powers. It was previously controlled by an unknown peoples, and then conquered by the human Strahd von Zarovich. During this period, the Order of the Silver Dragon fell to the onslaught, becoming eternal and mortal enemies of Strahd.

Coinciding with Strahd's fall from grace and Sergei's death, Barovia was split off as its own separate demiplane. For hundreds of years, nothing much changed. Although within 400 years of its being cast away, Berez became a swamp, and Vallaki burned. The Castle Ravenloft would soon fall as well.
