The Core is the largest known cluster of domains, and is considered to be the "mainland" of the Domains of Dread and also contains the Sea of Sorrows and the Nocturnal Sea, as well as the individual islands within those seas. These are most of the original, canon domains from early in the game setting.


This category contains all the domains that are currently in this area. (Domains moved from the Core in The Grand Conjunction should be in their new categories).

In 5e, the core was broken up into Islands of Terror in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, alone in the mists. If this is to be counted as true cannon, is left to Ravenloft fans and future publications by WotC.

Canon Domains of the Core By Region

The Mainland

The Northern Core

The Southern Core

Seas of the Core

Note that the two seas of the Core are domains in and of themselves, each with their own darklord. However, many of the islands within the seas have their own darklords. Unlike the pocket domains in the mainland (the House of Lament and Castle Island), theses island domains are not considered pocket domains.

The Nocturnal Sea

(Note that Graben Island and Todstein are all part of the domain of the Nocturnal Sea.)

The Sea of Sorrows
