@TheEdVerse my DM for Curse of Strahd has noted that the current book, as well as the Adventurer's League story, varies a great deal from the original Ravenloft story. How much of it can be blamed on The Second Sundering and The Spellplague, and what can we blame the rest on?

1/3) Nigh impossible for us mortals to know. Though the Second Sundering and Spellplague altered a lot of things, it’s always been difficult for mortals of one setting and time to grok the “reality” of deities and their powers, aims, and doings, the stuff of…#Realmslore 2/3) …dimensions/worlds, and how places we find ourselves in relate to other places. At best, our sourcebooks attempt to describe what deities sometimes mislead mortals about, or hide from us, things beyond our ken, and what is complex and everchanging.#Realmslore

3/3) Or as Elminster might put it: "Not all humans who drive cars know what makes them go. Yet they drive. If ye find yourself within Strahd's reach, staying alive and free might best be thy foremost priority, not squaring various fireside tales."#Realmslore
