Through the Mists

Mordenkainen Opens the Mansion Portal

Mordenkainen, a bald archmage in deep-blue robes, opens a glowing portal in a rock wall as Rage, Ignatius, and Carver wait in the misty Svalich Woods; a warm mansion lies beyond.

Depicted moment

At the Mists’ edge in the Svalich Woods, Mordenkainen turns a rock wall into the hidden entrance to his mansion. Rage, Ignatius, and Carver stand at the threshold as sanctuary light reaches into Barovia’s forest.

Canonical status

This is canonical Session 23 art. It establishes the portal as a luminous opening in a rock wall and contrasts the mansion’s safety with the cold forest outside. The portal’s exact magic, architecture, and party positions are interpretive staging.
