Portrait
Who they are
Eliza is a Vistani traveler who appeared at the Tser Pool Encampment alongside Arturi Radanavich. She presents herself as friendly and inviting, though the party strongly suspects she is the “shadow” servant of Strahd that Madam Eva warned them about.
What the party knows
- Eliza is a Vistani woman who arrived at the Tser Pool camp with Arturi Radanavich
- She has a friendly, inviting demeanor
- She participated in the Game of Stories, telling Eliza’s Tale—the half-true legend of Lugdana, the Morninglord’s champion, who fell banishing the demon Chernovog at Yester Hill
- Madam Eva warned the party about a “shadow” approaching her tent, “a lone servant of Darkness who seeks knowledge of your future”—the party strongly suspects this refers to Eliza
- The morning after the Game of Stories, she appeared somewhat flustered and haggard, straining to maintain a calm demeanor under Arden’s suspicious gaze
- She offered Fig a cup of lavender chamomile tea
Eliza is indeed one of Strahd’s Spies, tasked with observing the party and reporting their movements and plans to her master.
