Just out of curiosity, was she a halfling? 😁
I feel a little called out, hehe, but, um...

Stories to learn! A whole world to explore! A whole curse of Barovian vampire lords and shadowfell mists and to get trapped in and nearly have your spirit broken by... wait, what was that last one...?)

The main issue with the FR lore base is that they feel the need to put in-universe explanations for the major rule shifts and updates each edition - so each new edition we have at lest one major realms-shaking event that 'explains' why everything works a little bit differently now. I'm not convinced this is a good idea, really - it could be handled more subtly.
