Dark Powers
{{dnd-stub}
The Dark Powers are the strange, god-like entities that rule over the Demiplane of Dread in Dungeons & Dragons. In the meta of the Ravenloft setting, they are literally the architects of everything, assembling their ever-expanding patchwork world and building it around Darklords, tweaking reality on a domain-by-domain basis to ensure proper "thematic purity", nerfing magic, fueling curses, and literally being the reason why this setting functions differently to any other D&D setting.
