Mother Night

According to the History of Barovia Mother Night is a deity of Barovian religion, and the nocturnal counterpart to the Morninglord. Her presence is said to have manifested the most during the night between dusk and dawn, but most Barovians believe her to be a fictitious creation of the followers of the Morninglord, to frighten Barovians into worshipping the light. Others think that, like the Morninglord, she has forsaken them. Father Lucien is of the opinion that she does indeed exist.

The devout citizens of Barovia believe Count Strahd von Zarovich to have been chosen by Mother Night as a champion to punish the Barovian people for the sins of their familial progenitors. Thus, Mother Night is mostly venerated today by unnatural monsters and other creatures of the night.

Baba Lysaga has been a faithful devotee to the Mother Night, even before the birth of Strahd. The Children of the Mother Night also worship the Mother Night in a den, west of Lake Baratok.
