			The Radanaviches were a clan or subtribe of the [[Corvara Tribe]] of the [[Vistani]]. Their [[kidnapping]] of [[Eramus van Richten]] and sale of him to the [[vampire]] [[Baron Metus]] caused a chain of [[event]]s that ultimately led to van Richten becoming the fame hunter of monsters he is today. The Radanavich clan itself met their doom at the hands of Dr. van Richten and a throng of [[undead]] given to him by [[Azalin Rex]], but the Radanaviches themselves rose again as [[undead]] bent on revenge.

			==History==
			Under the leadership of their [[raunie]] [[Madame Irena Radanavich]], the Radanaviches became known for a disregard for morality, for Madame Irena skillfully masterminded many games of con artistry, theft, and [[kidnapping]], and she was a potent [[seer]]. She gave birth to several hale and hardy sons, and Irena led the Radanavich clan for over twenty years.<ref name="Heroes, Monsters, and Settings p. 15">[[Bleak House: Heroes, Monsters, and Settings]] p. 15</ref>

			A string of [[event]]s that would eventually lead to the downfall of the clan began with a botched plot to provide a bride for the [[vampire]] [[Baron Metus]]. Madame Radavich's trusted [[tarokka deck]] had revealed the potential for a rich reward should such a prize be delivered. As such, the Radanavich clan planned to kidnap the daughter of another [[baron]]. However, the botched [[kidnapping]] resulted in the dire and unexpected injury of her son. Said injury left him on death's door.<ref name="Heroes, Monsters, and Settings p. 15">[[Bleak House: Heroes, Monsters, and Settings]] p. 15</ref>

			To save her son, Madame Radanavich delivered him to Dr. van Richten, a nearby [[physician]] and [[herbalist]] of noted skill.<ref name="Heroes, Monsters, and Settings p. 16">[[Bleak House: Heroes, Monsters, and Settings]] p. 16</ref> However, the wounds proved too great for van Richten to alleviate, and Radovan perished. Madame Radanavich blamed van Richten for his [[death]], even going so far as to accuse him of deliberately sabotaging Radovan's recovery. With the threat of a Vistani [[curse]] put upon his head, Dr. van Richten implored the Radanaviches to take anything they wished, just to leave him be. They did just that, secretly stealing away van Richten's own son, Erasmus, and leaving behind Radovan's [[corpse]] as a reminder of the failure to save her own son.<ref>[[Tales of Ravenloft]] p. 8-9</ref>

			Madame Irena Radavich and her clan delivered Erasmus to Baron Metus, whom transformed the boy into a [[vampire companion]]. Following this transaction, the Radanaviches returned to [[Barovia]], well beyond Dr. van Richten's reach. However, he rode after them anyway (with the corpse of Radovan in tow), before being accosted by the [[undead]] minions of [[Azalin Rex]]. Van Richten begged the undead to spare his life, at least long enough to save or at least avenge his son from the Vistani. As he held no love for the Vistani, Azalin granted van Richten not only his wish but lent the assistance of his undead. Further, Azalin [[reanimated]] Radovan's corpse as a [[zombie]] and ordered the Vistana to lead van Richten and Azalin's undead through [[the Mists]] to the Radanavich clan's camp.<ref>ToR p. 1-13</ref>

			In Barovia, van Richten confronted the Radanavich clan and demanded the return of his son. Madame Radanavich revealed his son has been sold to Baron Metus. In return, van Richten revealed Radovan's gruesome fate. Horrified and disgusted, Madame Radanavich [[cursed]] van Richten to see all those he cared about fall before the monsters that he would encounter in his life, beginning with Erasmus. She then revealed Baron Metus was a vampire, and soon Erasmus will be his eternal [[slave]]. In anger and grief, he [[cursed]] her, and the entire Radanavich clan in return, to be [[hunted]] by the undead and ordered Azalin's undead to attack. A bloodbath ensued. Sensing the depth of his transgression, tried to call off the undead, but they did not relent.<ref>ToR p. 13-16</ref> All of the Radanaviches were eventually slain, save for [[Arturi Radanavich]], a young child who hid in one of the [[vardo\|wagon]]s.<ref>[[Van Richten's Guide to the Vistani]] p. 6</ref><ref>[[Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendium III]] p. 98</ref>

			Madame Radanavich's rose from the grave as a [[ghost]], simmering with [[hatred]] for van Richten. Her dead kin rose again as [[ghoul]]s and [[cannibal zombie]]s in service to her as in life. They eventually drifted to the now [[abandoned]] [[Ricthen Haus]], where Madame Irena plotted her final revenge against van Richten for many years. She learned from the [[Gentleman Caller]] how to conjure the [[spirit]]s of Dr. van Richten's fallen companions, and her [[evil]] caused her to become the [[darklord]] of Richten Haus.

			Meanwhile, Dr. van Richten grew old hunting monsters, witnessing death after death of many of his fellow monster hunters unaware they were influenced by the [[curse]] put upon him by Madame Irena. It was many years before he discovered its effects thanks to a [[diviner]]. Dr. van Richten subsequently fell into a deep depression, one from which he would not recover until he was approached by a now grown Arturi Radanavich to reconcile van Richten with the Vistani and remove both their curses. With Arturi's aid, van Richten studied with and learned about the Vistani and published [[Van Richten's Guide to the Vistani]] in [[742 BC]].
