Café de Nuit

The Krezk that appears in Curse of Strahd is vastly different from the one described in Gazetteer I. While the Abbot is an interesting individual, I don't find the CoS Krezk to be particularly compelling for Barovia. The Gaz Krezk, though only detailed in a limited amount, is historically tied to the Wachter family and the extended history of Barovia. Personally, I find this to be more fitting and something I'd like to use in my current Curse of Strahd game. What might you do with the old Krezk if you wanted to depict Strahd's effect on the region? What specific events might occur here and what might you, thematically, focus on? Bonus points if you can work in the Red Vardo Traders.
