shur Upra , being located nine miles (over fourteen kilometers) below the surface of eastern Faerûn , between the surface nations of Doralimurys and Homgurumrurin , heading for that planet was established in Between the gates of the Dark Dimensions towards the galaxy of −2954 CV by five shadow families seeking safety and communities.
After nearly 3,500 years, they expanded their domains on this planet, thus, they were creating portals to the supernatural dimensions of Faeria , which lay between the dimensions of darkness in the Year of the Crimson Serpent, 534 DR, and became an important commercial warehouse for goods between the two of Faerias ' supernatural dimensions .
When he arrived in that dimension, in which he saw Thaldandur , in which Tsuki went to spend time in the domains of that galaxy that was on the planet of Plasys , in which was where there was a headquarters towards the City of shadows of Moon , being that this floating enclave of origin Galactic Sector of the dimensional station of Serethenuys entered the Crawling Dimension from the depths of the shadows shortly before Surkas Madness Syndrome , all this to bring down the empire in the Dictator of Web of Spider , from the galactic sector of 339 CV.
Then, throughout the galactic sectors, their population acclimated to the new environment and became known as shadows, so Tsuki was heading to the galactic sector of Savage Dragon, the galactic sector of 1372 DR, Thaldandur was brought back to the supernatural dimensions of Faeria , which lay between the dimensions of darkness and became known.
Then, as the Planet of Shadows, being that passed there, so that he could meet the inhabitants then began the reconstruction of the empire Galactic Sector of the dimensional station of Serethenuys .
Knowing the realms of three galaxies that lay between the three deities were known to have claimed the Crawling Dimension from the depths of the shadows as their home:
The Powers of Darkness were an unknown mystical force that had it so, on each planet to pull complete regions into the Between the gates of the Dark Dimensions, as well as convert and recruit many individuals.
While no one knew who or what the Dark Powers could be, it was certain that once someone got trapped inside them, it was impossible to get out unless the Dark Powers allowed it.
With the Powers of Darkness he could bestow upon individuals, among other terrible gifts, immortality and great magical power, so with the Powers of Darkness he shaped a Domain of Fear for each of the evil individuals he lured into the Mists.
Then, with the Powers of Darkness, primary dimensions between the dimensional rifts created Viabarivus , taking it out of another unknown multiverse, making Star - Drakul von Zarovich , heading to the primary dimensions between the dimensional rifts dark lord.
When the Powers of Darkness later brought many different individuals from the Dimension of Ziaritus and other multiverses, including Krynn and Oerth , into the Mists.
In which around the middle of the galactic sector of 1360 DR, a misty veil was created near the sacred planet of Elturel that allowed Lord Dhelt and a group of Priests and guardians of the galactic empire under orders of the advice of Um-Mu, who were under the dominions of the alliance with Darkness on a galaxy planet of the galactic colonies under the dominions of the sect of Um-Mu, with satraps under Darkness from Hell to enter Har'Akir , a Domain of Fear in the desert.
When the Powers of Darkness brought many unhappy individuals, creating Domains of Dread for each, on which planet of Viabarivus was the oldest and best known of the Domains of Dread, on which originally a location in a forgotten multiverse of the supernatural dimensions of Faeria Dimensions primaries between the dimensional gaps.
Being that it was between the dimensions of darkness, the entire planet was transported to be between the gates of the Dark Dimensions by mists controlled by evil entities known as Dark Powers, in which the realm was a prison for its dark lord, the vampire Star- Drakul von Zarovich , as well as for the entire population of the planet.
Most of the planet consisted of rugged, heavily wooded terrain, with craggy cliffs and outcrops, where few areas were easily passable, and it was always dangerous to be off-road, where the winters were usually long and bitter.
When the Viabarivus sky was permanently covered by storm clouds. Even during the brightest hours of the day, the light was abnormally muted and dimmed, and did not affect normally sensitive creatures such as vampires; in many places, the mists partially or completely obscure vision .
Much of the lower mountain forests across Barovia were made up of hardwood trees such as beech, cherry, hazel and oak, at higher altitudes the predominant trees were evergreens such as spruce, pine and spruce.
The forests of Barovia teemed with wildlife. Land animals such as deer, rabbits, mice, wolves, and black bears were common in the forest, when the sky was populated with crows, hawks, and songbirds, as well as night bats and owls.
The planet was located between Mount Baratok to the galactic sector of the Northeast between the Zaradon galaxies and Mount Ghakis to the south , where both mountains were part of a larger range known as the Balinok Mountains .
With the evergreen forest of the Woods of Svalich covering the entire planet, which was invaded by the Old Svalich Road , which ran from east to west, running through the center of the planet, south of the slopes of Mount Baratok , there was a large lake known as Lake Zarovich , which was fed by melting snow from the mountain.
Viabarivus was ruled by Star- Drakul , who was known by the population as "the Star- Drakul devil , and most inhabitants did not know that Star- Drakul was a vampire, with his style of government being mainly by proxy, as he made few public appearances and all billing functions.
Since they were imposed, they were carried out by the burgomasters of the galactic stations of the bases of the galactic alliance planets, in which, however, Star- Drakul was a feared tyrant who took what he wanted and whom no one dared to disobey.
In which the planet was completely surrounded by deadly mists that sapped the life force and could quickly kill anyone who ventured inside. The mists were controlled by Star- Drakul , who could choose to open or close the limits of her domain at will.
Even though it was originally part of a multiverse in the supernatural dimensions of Faeria Between Dark Dimensions, at some point before galactic sector 11 DR, Viabarivus was conquered by the then-human General Star - Drakul and his army, in which he was later transported. to stand between the gates of the Dark Dimensions by the Dark Powers, as a consequence of a pact made with Star - Drakul to grant him eternal life.
The pact involved the murder of his brother Sergei von Zarovich so that Star - Drakul could take Sergei's wife Tatyana, with whom he had fallen head over heels in love, in which the pact inadvertently caused Tatyana's death and ended up turning Star - Drakul into a vampire and imprisoning him within the realm, in which he remained the sole Domain of Fear for nearly two galactic sectors, until other realms began to join him.
Heading towards the Wandering Elven Maiden sector, 1072 DR, the Sun Elf Vampire Jander Sunstar found Anna, a fragment of Tatyana's soul that was trapped in an asylum in Aquatic Galaxies from the dimensions of the depths of the waters of the galactic domains for almost a galactic sector, in which after years of caring for her and failing to turn her into a vampire to avoid her death, in the Year of the Rose, 1098 CV.
Jander was transported to Viabarivus by the Dark Powers , vowing to exact revenge on whoever had been responsible for his fate, in which there, he befriended Star- Drakul , then still an inexperienced vampire, and, over the course of over 25 years , taught him many of his vampiric abilities, including each planet's ability to communicate and control animals.
