Souragne is a domain based around stereotypical Louisiana voodoo, and as such consists primarily of a vast swamp. The two most important individuals in Souragne are the darklord Anton Misroi, a zombie lord, and Chicken Bone, the most powerful voodan (Ravenloft's equivalent of a houngan) in the swamp.

Chronology

  • 635 BC[4] Mistakenly thinking his wife and another plantation owner are engaging in a tryst, Anton Misroi orders his servants to drown them in quicksand. Before his wife dies, she curses him, causing Misroi to sink as well. He calls out to the powers that be to not let him perish, and the Dark Powers answer his cry by transforming him into a zombie lord. After he is chased off his own property into the swamp, Souragne forms as a domain of Ravenloft.[5]
  • 635 BC-645 BC During this ten year period, a period of inner turmoil, isolation from the outside world, and harsh laws rock Souragne.[6]
  • 645 BC Anton Misroi applies the supernatural knowledge he gained from the Maiden of the Swamp to become the Lord of the Dead. He gains fantastic mystical power and appears alive and human once more. However, by infusing himself with supernatural might, Misroi binds his essence to the swamp. Therefore, he cannot walk on the solid ground of the western half of his domain.[9]
  • 645 BC The period of chaos in Souragne seemingly ends. Trade is reestablished, and the plantation owners free their slaves on paper, but many former slaves remain so far in debt not much has changed.[6]
  • 702 BC Etienne Lefebvre returns to Souragne from Mordent. Ti-Maman names him secretary of the Souragnien branch of the Church of Ezra.[11]
