Even with the help of Argynvost in dragon form, they simply had no chance. Unfortunately, Strahd’s army was much too powerful and they overcame the order. Years later Strahd’s army came to the valley and the Order of the Silver Dragon defended the valley (the name wasn’t Barovia yet), not because of allegiance or loyalty, but to protect the Amber Temple from outsiders. He made one of his order’s quests, to make sure whatever was in that temple would never be allowed to escape.

It’s explained (page 129) that Argynvost was aware of the Amber Temple, a place of great evil.

He was incredible wealthy, had his mansion built and used his resources to attract valorous champions of good to start a knight’s order. It is well presented, with some interesting characters, and if the adventurers wish to complete this chapter, they will have to infiltrate Castle Ravenloft to steal from under Strahd’s nose and escape to tell the tale.Īrgynvost was a silver dragon who moved into the Valley of Barovia disguised as a wealthy man. I consider this chapter a gem in the Curse of Strahd module. The GUIDE index for Curse of Strahd and other related articles can be found here !
