I believe you cannot on one hand offer a story in which you refer lore introduced with Ravenloft, and on the other hand offer nothing and leave literally anything for player to guess, because that would cause a barrier for those that know nothing about Ravenloft and the Domains of Dread. Furthermore...
I personally enjoyed the backstory and references to the layout and structure of Ravenloft. While I could understand that it might have used terms that players and DMs might use to describe the setting and not necessarily be the way an in-world character would speak, it did not break immersion for me, especially since I am not that familiar with the Ravenloft setting. The conversations with Xikâsz felt natural and I genuinely felt like I was learning more about where he came from. I'd like to see more Ravenloft adventures incorporated into the IE games.
Just wanted to report a small issue when recruiting Xikasz;
When you have to deal the last time with him in the cave and he follows you downstairs, his script for surrendering isn't triggered when his HP drop low enough. He's just standing there doing nothing but taking punishment. I think you somehow connected the script to the area, where you're facing him?
However, recruting him on the upper floor works without any flaws.

Thank you, in advanced.

The translation is now included in the mod.
I know you saw the series, but those that feel the same should try out The Dreadful Tales series.

To others,: please, don't try to lure him out of his area.
