Who Are The Vistani Tribe?
The game also features a Vistani tribe who are nomads with a plethora of horses and barrel-top wagons ready. They are also called The Vistani of Barovia.
They are a wandering tribe of human variants who adopted the Land of the Mists as their home centuries ago. It is believed that their original homeland is lost or maybe is mythical.
Vistani are flamboyant, loving, and welcoming. They treat everyone as their friend, even if they have just met someone and unless you are their enemy.
Vistani have an outlook that music, dance, and wine are the medicine for the soul, and indulge in it often. They are a loud, cheery group of people who are great storytellers. Vistani gather to take their items to Barovia to trade with other villages but rarely trade their items with Barovians.
They have a mistrust towards these people and generally alienate them. However, they are much more welcoming towards others from different lands.
