Talk:Curse of Strahd

Realms
Is this really a Realms adventure? --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 14:53, November 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sort of. The adventure starts in the Realms. In Daggerford, to be precise (though the adventure says that any city in the Sword Coast can be used), but very early in the adventure the players and some members of the 5e factions (Harpers, Zhentarin, etc) are transported to Ravelonft by the mists. Death Masks also reference this adventure (Mordenkainen ended mad and in Elminster's care after facing Strahd). --Zero (talk) 15:21, November 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 16:21, November 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure either but the adventure starts in Daggerford and links to events in Death Masks so I thought it worth creating an article for reference purposes at least. My previous response seems to have deleted User:Zeromaru X's post oddly, reposting for clarity and to reiterate his point too.--Eli the Tanner (talk) 17:08, November 22, 2017 (UTC)

Articles for locations, characters and items
Most locations and characters in this adventure are in fact completely disconnected from the Realms, but some of them do have a deeper and more detailed connection, either from different sources or from adventure hooks at the beginning of this one. For example, Volo has briefly interacted with Ezmerelda d'Avenir, and she in fact saved his life; the Blue Water Inn in Vallaki even has a Volo rating; Jander Sunstar was known by Rudolph van Richten, etc. Others, such as Shami-Amourae, have multiple tangential connections to the Realms, but (so far) no explicitly direct one.

In other words, my question is: how much connection is sufficient for a location or character (or item) to merit its own page in the Wiki? Besides the three-sentence rule: From this point of view, could it be seen not as a Ravenloft adventure, but a Realms adventure that is mostly set in the Demiplane of Dread? -- Sirwhiteout (talk) 17:20, November 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Is interaction with one or more Realms characters from another source a minimum condition?
 * Or is simply existing in this adventure sufficient for an article, since it starts out as a Realms adventure?
