"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
- H.P. Lovecraft
There are several things that could be said about Carter Ward, but stupid is not one of them. Impulsive would be fair. Morally questionable? Perhaps. Eccentric? Absolutely.
While assisting his mentor, Wymar Armitage III, with a ritual, some sort of unearthly entity emerged from a portal and nearly tore him to pieces. The incident nearly left poor Carter with a tremor he couldn’t shake, not to mention the scar across his left eye and the chunk taken out of his left ear. Armitage wasn’t so lucky; he was torn limb from limb.
"Absolute idiot. He should have known the power he was toying with." Of course, the irony wasn’t lost on Carter. He raided the library, and was able to peruse his mentor’s records. One word kept coming up again and again. Barovia.
In an effort to recover from his mentor’s tragedy, and to continue his research, Carter Ward has come to Barovia with one goal: to learn the secrets that others dare not explore. Science cares not for the morals and ethics of men, and neither shall he. Progress and knowledge are worthy goals in their own right.
