Andral (where she is likely to be encountered) in order to kill Ireena something that Strahd is unaware of. She also has a distinct dislike of Ludmilla whom she believes-quite correctly-Strahd holds in higher regard than herself.Īnastrasya orchestrated the Feast of St. Still, she was accustomed to being obeyed in life and expects the same of anyone that she considers her “lesser” in undeath. In her dealings with others, she prefers brute force and violence, but tempers herself with the tact of her noble upbringing. She is deeply jealous of the affection that Strahd holds for the memory of Tatyana, as well as the focus that he has on acquiring Ireena as a new bride.

The closest thing that Ludmilla has to a friend is Strahd’s most loyal servant, Rahadin. Ludmilla has a hand in everything from planning dinners to budgeting expenses with Lief. In addition to her scientific studies, she has taken on the daily running of Castle Ravenloft. At present, she is delving into the sciences, including her experiments on lycanthropes at Tsolenka Pass, where she may be readily encountered (see the Tsolenka Pass chapter of this guide). Ludmilla is a wizard of significant talent, though not as powerful as Strahd. When faced with problems, she approaches them methodically and logically. While dealing with others, Ludmilla is cool-headed to the point of being nearly devoid of emotion.

Ludmilla is the eldest of Strahd’s current consorts.
