Blaustein is a tiny, flat island with flora and wildlife that is typical of such a region. Located at the northern part of the island is Castle Bluebeard, and the village beneath it.ref name=DLp.2426>Darklords p.24,26</ref>[1]
The People
The folk of Blaustein are generally a happy lot, a rarity in Ravenloft. Thee Blausteiner loyalty to their lord, Bluebeard is absolute., and they follow his decrees without question.[5] In contrast to their utmost love for their lord, the folk of Blaustein show a rabid hatred for foreigners who would land upon their docks- taking torch and club to such unexpected visitors.</ref>[1][2]
The Law
Bluebeard and his cult of personality is the only law on Blaustein, and so much as simply displeasing the man can result in a grisly execution - or worse. His own subjects fall victim to his wrath quite often, and one can expect to see a corpse hanging from the noose at the docks of Blaustein. Despite this obvious tyranny, his people still blindly adore their lord.</ref>[1]
Closing the Borders
It is unknown if Bluebeard has the ability to close the isle's borders.
