Hunters in the Svalich Woods

Depicted moment

On the road through the Svalich Woods, Carver presents the Barovia Mist talisman as Ignatius and Rage make clear that the party means no harm. Two wary hunters keep the high ground, their bows ready but undrawn.

Canonical status

This is canonical Session 24 art. It establishes the hunters as wary Vistani encountered in the Svalich Woods and the meeting as a peaceful passage. Their exact names, clothing, high-ground positions, and the talisman’s appearance are interpretive staging.
