# [[The Fall of Stoya]] Stoya, a quiet hamlet on the outskirts of [[Kresk]], was decimated by members of the [[Ba'al Verzi]] in an attempt to ingratiate themselves to [[Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]] with a blood offering. [[Zar]] may have initially learned about this event from [[Jander Sunstar]] prior to hearing about it from a group of hunters in the [[Blood of the Vine Tavern and Inn]] in [[003_20260520 Session 3|Session 3]]. The rest of the Gang learned about these events in [[008_20260717 Session 8|Session 8]] while unwittingly attending a meeting of the [[Ba'al Verzi]] in [[Durst Manor]]. ### Related Quests - [[Look for missing children in Stoya]]
