Ireena Kolyana

Ireena Kolyana was the adopted daughter of Kolyan Indrirovich. She resided in the village of Barovia[1][2] and was a reincarnation of Tatyana.[3][4]

Her tomb in the crypts of Castle Ravenloft is labelled "Wife,"[5] so it is likely that she wed Strahd von Zarovich before her death.

In Expedition to Castle Ravenloft

Ireena has been (unknown to her) dominated by Strahd von Zarovich. She seeks to take back the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind that was stolen from her murdered father.[6]

In Curse of Strahd

In CoS, Ireena has barricaded herself inside the Burgomaster's mansion, where she remains until her father is buried in a funeral ceremony presided by Donavich. Her brother Ismark wishes to take her to Vallaki to secure her defense.[7] She may be Strahd's Enemy as revealed by the Madame Eva's readings of the Fortunes of Ravenloft. However, before she goes anywhere, she demands that the corpse of her father be properly disposed of and buried in the nearby cemetery[8]

In this version of the classic I6 Ravenloft module, Ireena was found near the Pillarstone of Ravenloft, remembering nothing of her origins, a fact known to Donavich but not to Ireena[9] She is stalked by Izek Strazni (of Vallaki), whom unknown to most is actually her biological brother and obsessed with her return, though he knows not why as he too forgot their relation. Ireena and Izek were separated from each other during a dire wolf attack as children. During the attack, Ireena disappeared into the nearby forest. Her parents later died of grief.[10]

Reflecting Izek's unhealthy desire for Ireena, Izek bullied Gadof Blinsky into creating many dolls bearing her likeness.[11]
