Description

Luvash Vanduva is the head of the Vanduva family and a leader of the Tser Hill Vistani. He is a large, boisterous man — talks with his hands, big reactions, quick to clasp a shoulder, slam a table, or go quiet all at once when emotion catches him. The players first encountered Luvash at the Blood of the Vine Inn in the Village of Barovia, where he was desperately searching for his daughter Arabelle, who had been kidnapped by the hags of Old Bonegrinder. After the adventurers rescued Arabelle, Luvash and his wife Sorina rushed to their daughter as soon as they received a letter from Ireena. Luvash publicly thanked the party in Vallaki — not quietly either — a deliberate statement showing his hand. His sister Nadara was married to one of the Tser Pool Vistani and died in the Massacre of Tser Pool. He is furious at Strahd for his betrayal.
