In this video, I break down how I handle regional and individual accents in my Curse of Strahd game! Barovia, for me, is split into distinct regions that each have their own accent. From Romania, to England, to rural America, Barovia is a pretty odd sounding place. In addition to the regional accents, I cover specific characters like The Abbot, Exethanter, and even Strahd von Zarovich himself.

Which character is YOUR favorite one to voice? Let us know below!
I loved the Barovian accent, but I can't seem to pull an Irish accent, so idk how I will play it when times comes.
Love the accents. I can't wait to practice them.
Just a head's up, though, the word "gypsy" is considered a racial slur. Might want to steer clear of it in the future. The politically correct term is Roma.
Yeah, sorry about that. Others have pointed that out as well. I was raised in a culture where it just means “wandering nomad” and has a neutral connotation.
Vasilii Von Holtz, who speaks with a mix of fop/regency English with hints of eastern European (vaguely 'soviet'). "Lahd Lave me! You adventurer are quite ze ragged bunch. Please, halp protec Ireena, the devil has spies ehvrywhere, and it would posi-tiv-oly sink me, if ahnything sjood 'appen to hehr."
Donavich 👍👍👍👏😁
"Madam Eva is the oldest creature in Barovia, next to Strahd."
Baba Lysaga: hol up
Ah, fair catch
@@LunchBreakHeroes Do either Mme Eva or Baba Lysaga really beat millennia of existence (Abbot) though?
@@thylja814 ^^^^
Also Exethanter
Also Rahadin
Dude, your voices are freaking amazing. You must rock when you're DMing.
Thank you! I suppose I do alright. My players seem to enjoy it. At the very least they haven't complained. :-D
That burp was hilarious I'm glad he kept it
Imagine him burping in the middle of a monologue. “Rahadin! I told you to go easy on the cayenne this time!”
That Rictavio was so good.
Thank you!
I cannot get over your Abbot voice. I loooove it and am definitely using it
Thank you so much!
"Last but not least ...perfect.
Yeah, it just kind of came out. :-)
I cannot see the Vistani as Irish, but now I can include Irish with other NPCS. Glad that some of what I've done has mapped on to your suggestions. Thanks, as always.
Hey, no worries! It's all just baseless suggestions, but I'm glad I could help in some regard.
As an Irishman who’s lived in Scotland for 25 years - your Irish sounds more Scottish than your Scottish does. 😆. Good effort though!
Thanks! I have no delusions about fooling natives. 😆
Sounds like that to me too, like the two got mixed up 😄 But who cares, they're still pretty good and hey Barovia is a fictional place!
@@LunchBreakHeroes This native Irishman was not fooled lol But you might benfit from listening to Irish actors, eg Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Aidan Turner, Saoirse Ronan etc. Anyway, great channel!
Thank you!
I'm from Kansas it's people are known for having no accent. So I would say there all perfect
Adventures like these make it hard for female DMs like me because I couldn't pull off Strahd's accent without sounding like Fiona 🤣 Still I'm gonna try my best. Thank you for your vids, why the hell don't you have more followers?!?!?
Y'know, I keep asking myself that same question! You can help out by sharing these videos!
And perhaps Fiona's trying to do her best Strahd impression to get in his good graces? Who knows!
I feel that way when I try to voice the female characters, have fun!
I've heard of female DM's flipping Strahd's gender to great effect. (You just gotta make her lesbian, or make Ismark her prey.)
@@calebjackson3895 The book, Carmilla, is a great source of inspiration in this scenario.
@@calebjackson3895 It was my assumption that Stradh is already bisexual, on account of him "adopting" Escher as a vampire spawn along with his wives
I gave the Vistani the Romanian accent and mix a little a bit of a Spanish accent too. Most other speakers are Russian, rough German or British for select characters.
No Blinsky?! I am unhyappy :(
Lol, I considered it. But Blinsky's accent is pretty defined in the module, I think. 😁
Is no fun, is no Blinsky. What more you nyeed to hyear, my fren? Can't wait to push my bad accents to the limit. My Vistani will probably sound more like Borat, and my dead dragon knights? German all around. Great video, thanks a bunch. Lyet's make muor of zem. For of courz, all accents in Barovia and ze De an ze De are correct, for no one haz heard zem outside ze game.
I've got a warlock I'll be running with Strahd as a patron soon, and as Strahd got him as a child, he'll have picked up the accent from him as he aged, so I've been looking for videos like this to get an idea of how best to emulate that. Your video was honestly the most helpful, and I can't wait to try this out in our campaign. Thank you so much! 💜
Literally what I needed. I'm about to run Curse of Strahd and I've been trying to work on voices. Thank you for another great video!
No problem! I'm glad I could be of assistance!
You, kind sir, are an inspiration to new DMs everywhere!
I'm currently running Curse of Strahd and I'm always waiting with baited breath for a new video.
Your content is amazing!
I'm so glad that you like it! I'm thinking Argynvostholt might be next. :-D
Wow, you are actually great at accents! I'm really impressed! I would love to see you actually sit down and prep out a session from start to finish, show what you do and give us insight into the whole process. I actually find there's a real lack, for me especially, of good resources on how to run a place with lots of NPCs and how to really prepare for a big town. Do you make a potential scene for every single location? It seems daunting.
Since I never know what my players are going to do, planning out scenes is pretty futile. Instead, I just make a note of what NPCs are where, what their motivations and personality are, and improvise to the best of my ability.
If you want a peek into how I prep a large area, you can check out my Vallaki video! th-cam.com/video/_DAj53iwmXw/w-d-xo.html
Is it strange that some of these accents actually gave me ASMR?
I won't even be running most of my campaign in English (since my players, nor I, are native speakers) but just the general tips on the attitudes and speech patterns of characters gave me a lot of inspiration on what to do with NPC voices in my run of CoS! Thank you!
It's only strange if you think it is :-D
I'm glad that I could help! I hope you all have a ton of fun!
@@LunchBreakHeroes I hope so too! We're having a character creation meetup tomorrow and everyone is very excited!
This is excellent work. If your looking for something a little more lore accurate... The Curse of Strahd adventure looks like a poor mash up of the original Hickman module and the Campaign setting books that came later. The town and castle are obviously from the original module which hinted that Barovia is alone in the mist, but all the extended stuff suggests that the campaign setting lore is still canon.
The actual map suggests that Curse of Strahd takes place after Gundarak was absorbed by Barovia. (btw, half the domain map is cut off in the adventure book) Both Rudolf Van Richten and Esmerelda come from the domain of Darken, which likely means Barovia has neighbors, which is Borca to the north, Forlorn and Kartakass to the south, Nova Vaasa to the east and Invidia to the west. These would all have cultural influences on Barovia.
-The town of Barovia is clearly classic Romanian (there maybe some middle eastern influence from before Strahd. The town of Barovia and Castle Ravenloft was the seat of power for a Turkish inspired dictator).
-Vallaki is near the Borca border which was formed by the Dilisnya family. Borca is a French renaissance influenced domain. The people would have a more French sounding accent.
-Vallaki Vistani are not from the same clan is Madam Eva (which is why they don't have the same protection). The fact Van Richten is attempting to murder them suggests they are from the same clan that sold his son into vampire slavery and murdered him. (Long story, but Richten was resurrected and the Vistani elder became a minor domain lord) . There are 4 or 5 clans of Vistani, all from different prime material planes. This particular clan is evil and has no real culture associated with them, so Irish works.
-Krezk is a little harder to pin down. It too once shared a border with Borca. However, it now shares a border with Invidia, which is inspired by Fascist Italy. Their isolationism and distrust of others lends heavily to this influence.
-The Druids and the people around the south temple are clearly from Forlorn which is southwest of the domain. Forlorn takes its inspiration from Scottish traditions, particularly druidic.
Madam Eva's Vistani are from the same prime world as Strahd and should have the same Romanian accent. However, the Vistani are showmen and should speak with theatrics with fluctuating high and low tones as well as speeding up and slowing down their voices for emphasis.
Other cultural influences
-Gundarak, which existed to the southwest of Barovia before being absorbed was German. They are mostly in the south which is not a region visited in the Curse of Strahd adventure.
-To the east of the town of Barovia is the border of Nova Vaasa which is Byzantium. This area is also not visited in the adventure.
-To the south is Kartakass which is a heavy trading partner and is a Robinhood era England.
-Prior to Strahd retaking his ancestral home, it was occupied by a foreign peoples which were modeled after the real world Ottoman Turks that invaded Romania. A middle eastern accent wouldn't be out of place in the domain.
BTW, Ravenloft is by far my favorite Campaign setting. I have been running it since the first box set back in 1990. I am glad to see its resurgence 30 years later. I spent a lot of time on pin-pointing the exact cultures and culture levels in every domain. The Ravenloft Gazetteers are really good at breaking these down.
I wish I could like this comment more than once! Thank you for that wonderfully detailed description of the various cultures.
The only gripe I have - and it's a year old video, so it's not a huge complaint, but one I feel worth noting - is that the Vistani are based on the Roma people, not Romanians. The Roma were displaced from their homes in India, and were called 'gypsies' (which was used as a racial slur against them) because they were mistakenly believed to have come from Egypt.
Yeah! And because of that, I still want some advice (primarily from actual Roma people) on how to handle the Vistani characters as an allegory to the Roma experience. Mainly, how can I go about it *without* Doing A Racism? This is a question that I'm convinced an actual Roma person would know how best to answer.
Man you should be professional voice actor, your so good with those accents.
Thank you very much! Let me know if you start a studio and need some voices. 😁
This video could not have come at a better time for me! DMing the first session of curse of strahd this weekend and I am stealing all of these accents! Much appreciated! Fantastic
Best of luck to you! I hope you have a great time.
Great video, thanks for all the help running the module!
No problem, Leon!
This channel is amazing, thank you for all the creative help! I'm just waiting for the book to officially launch in my native language (portuguese) to DM it this year (I'm from Brazil).
Nice! Hopefully it comes out soon--you're gonna have a blast!
OMG you're absolutely talented... Please send more videos, they're awesome!
Thank you! I'm working on it!
This is a great video for voices to do while you're DM'ing in general and has helped out sooooo much. Now i just have to get the courage to actually put myself out there with some of these voices for my PC's haha
They'll love it!
Loved all of your voices!! Such incredible insight
Thank you so much!
I love this accents. Splendid job, absolutely great
Bro! Your videos are gold. I’m a new dm preparing for my first run at DMing with curse of strahd… THANK YOU!!!
You’re very welcome, Jalill!
What a fantastic video. Great work!
Thank you!
Rudolph Van Richten is also heavily inspired by Abraham Van Helsing from Dracula. There's a fantastic audiobook of Dracula where the narrator gives him a musical Dutch accent to fit the character. I try to incorporate that: light and whimsical when he's in disguise as Rictavio, dark and withdrawn when he's Van Richten.
haha very good as always!!!!!!!!!!!! SO LEGIT!
This was so helpful! Im dming my first game ever and started with curse of strahd. Having Strahd sound scary was my goal but i just couldn't until you showed me how. THANKS.
Madam Eva is channeling Christopher Walken. 😂
She’s got a fever, and the only cure is more Tarokka.
Love the ideas, delivery works too man.
Appreciate it!
Brilliant stuff thank you!!
I’ll be completely honest, I came to TH-cam results today hoping to find some voices for my CoS campaign via Roll20 and Video chat- something that was close enough to my wheelhouse that I could perhaps stretch a bit and practice before we introduce Strahd in person.......
Your accents are NOT what I was expecting! You nailed each and every one, and best of all, they are all extremely distinct and would give the players a good idea of what areas people could be from when they might meet someone on the road.
I also liked some of the mannerisms you threw in that were not strictly accents, Donavich out of breath for example. Those are the kinds of things I’m trying to use liberally since I am absolutely the WORST at accents.
Thanks as always for the great content. Love how direct and helpful your videos are.
I'm glad I could help, Jenny! I've got some more voice acting videos in the works, so stay tuned!
Where were you, I wonder,a couple of months ago when I started running the campaign?!
Great content, looking forward to more!
More to come for sure!
You casually burping when doing Strahd was just.... epic! I love your videos.
Thank you!
I heard this one voice actor give Strahd a voice that was somewhere between Death the Wolf and Valentino Hazbin Hotel and I was just 😭💀⚰️ CRYING THAT IS TOO ACCURATE HELP
Currently running CoS for my friends and, for some reason, I just COULD NOT find my Strahd accent this morning! I tried a little role-play with myself to see if I could get the voice to emerge naturally but to no avail. When you said that Barovians speak closer to the back of the throat, that helped IMMENSELY! Many thanks!
Also, aside from the Irish and Scottish accents, I'm tickled to find that we use the same accents and mannerisms of speech throughout the campaign and NPCs! Our Abbot and Van Richten/Rictavio are uncannily similar.
Glad I could help out! And that is quite a coincidence that we have such similar accent assignments!
I'd love this for icewind dale. Great content!
"Irish" Madam Eve giving a Tarokka Reading must have been interesting. Lol
This is a phenomenal video
Thank you so much!
The lich sounds like treebeard with a hang over. I love it
I actually had a very similar accent for Ezmerelda as well! In complete isolation from your video haha
Great minds think alike!
@@LunchBreakHeroes Indeed! She is definitely that "confident, in your face, self assured, and strong" despite the accent. Definitely fits with mannerisms and manner of speech however.
Ok good I was starting to feel the itch. Need my Lunch Break Heros!
Here I am!
Very helpful, specially for me a non-english native speaker, those accents will come handy, but I need practice.
A friend of mine gift me this, I will spent 2/3 weeks studying it and preparing for making it an epic experience.
I wonder how my players will screw all my preparations.
Good video and thanks.
Update: Since my Hispanic accent make it hard to play a irish-like accent for vistani, I just made them resemble more the Spaniards Gypsies, yes, "Gitanos", and I play my Paco de Lucia playlist whenever my player met with the vistani, in fact, their first encounter with Strahd was after leaving Madam Eva tent, he charmed Ireena to have a dance, but didn't took her since he is waiting for her to realize "her real feeling for him", they got quite the surprise. My players love the Vistani now.
While this is an old video, it's still a great resource! I used the same techniques for the voice of the Abbot when my players first met him and one of my players commented that she hated the way he talked because it was "so creepy" so mission accomplished!
Nice work!
I do my Strahd exactly like DIO from jojo's bizarre adventure. I voice the Abbot as a cocky southern priest accent (I also made him a radiant idol and after defeat he turned into an archdevil but that's neither here nor there). I did ezmerelda french and when they meet him rictavio will sound like the mad hatter and van Richten will have a german accent.
Haha very nice. As a note that scotish is northern Irish or at least very similar to a mild Derry accent. And that Irish was actually really nice blend of Wales and scotish. I like your accents a lot. They are very good!
Yeah, I got nervous and made the Vistani sound very Kiwi.
I always imagined Strahd having a similar voice to Joseph Stalin.
I picture something like Thrawn in the new audiobooks. Calm, cool, and soft-spoken.
Bjorn An Craite True, though that is how Stalin spoke too. Just with a Georgian accent.
Please could you make one for Phandelver too? I would really need those
I'm currently running CoS for the second time. For the players that are back for a second go-around, they absolutely loved the Vistani sounding Irish. It makes them much more charming to my party, and disarming to those who came in with prior baggage and distrusted everything about them.
Glad I could help!
I would absolutely love to watch you run Curse of Strahd!! Does this exist anywhere?!?!
Nope!
Lunch Break Heroes aside from just my own selfish reasons, I would love to see the content/revisions you’ve produced get put into practice. Huge thank you for all the ideas as I’m about to run CoS for my group!!
I'm currently DMing Curse of Strahd and indeed I have been using a Slavic accent the entire time since 2018. I like what you did although considering the main NPC's names are all Slavic sounding I go with the Slavic accent across the board...there are characters that enter Barovia who enter from outside like Rudolph Von Richten that I give a more Sean Connery Accent, if the character is not native it gives the players a clue as to the foreign identity of the character NPC.
It would be nice to have a similar video for soundtracks.
Little blood bubble in the throat there huh Strahd?-i might be giving him a fun voice for myself to do Nandor the relentless from what we do in the shadows, i know not rly scary at first thought but i think i should be able to twist it to anger when needed >:)
Your lich sounds like Winnie the Pooh 😂 these are all fantastic though, and I will be taking inspiration from this for the Strahd game I’m running!
WTF episodes of Winnie the Pooh have you been watching? :-D
Spoiler; Winnie the Pooh is a Lich and hundred acre wood Is a dungeon
I can't unhear this 😂
As someone who's about to run this campaign in a completely different language (Danish), this was helpful, but not really :D
Great video though! Happy to be a patreon supporter.
Thank you very much for your support!
Give that man his money
Since I am not a English native speaker, is hard for me to make accents, and I wasn't confident on how to play the NPCs voices, so is not a joke when I say you saved my a$$, thanks a lot.
Now I only need a sick playlist to complement the audio experience.
Glad I could help!
I always try to make my voice try to sound like Christopher Lee with a Romanian accent or some other Slavic accent. Christopher lee being my personal favorite Dracula I thought it only fitting that Strahd would share a voice and mannerism of him.
Awesome job👍👍👍😁💯💥
My DM is letting me play a Barovian who was taken away from Barovia as a young child, so I get to do the accent. Not gonna lie, just watched a huge amount of CrazyRussianHacker and did that accent.
That'll work great!
Wow, this is great! One question, what voice would you use for Ireena? Would she just have the Barovian accent?
Yeah, some variation of that.
Barovia isn't closed to entry, so other PCs and NPCs have been coming here for centuries, (and failing to kill Strahd) if that''s how the DM is running the adventure. New words and phrases might have populated their languages, and there should also be other races and religions present. In my game, there is an enclave of Halflings in the south, very secretive, that will help if you can find them.
Great point, Paul! You could run a game where Barovia is a very cosmopolitan place, rather than a homogenous human culture with a smattering of elves.
Epic!
You've given me the idea to make the three hags come from three separate regions of barovia, thereby being much easier to distinguish.
Lol
Loved the accents.
Thank you!
Wish I had to confidence to do this at the table... :' )
You got this! I believe in you!
remember they’re nerds too. they probably won’t make fun of you :)
I was wondering, do you keep track of the time when you run curse of strahd?
If you do, how?
Typically I look at the clock on my phone or computer.
/smartass
I keep a very rough estimate in my head of what time of day it is, and how much time has passed given what the players are doing and where they've gone. It's more of a guesstimate than anything.
Who knew that the Abbot was secretly David Attenborough?
Love it. I use Pain from Naruto for my Strahd. Argynvostholt and wizards of wine please. My thought for the former is to bait it by having the knights corrupted becoming Strahd personal army as long as he has the skull. As they first approach the crossroad to the castle they encounter Avrik the last knight bound to a post skin flayed, the birds have been eating him like the Greek legend. He is screaming a challenge to Strahd that this torture won't break him and he will destroy him and free the knights. If they free him a swarm of bats attack, after combat he states the head location and I also added the heart is in a monster (Mathilda). He runs to the castle never to be seen again and the players have a few hooks about the place, what do you think?
I have nothing to really draw them to the winery and make it pop, so winery first please. Love your content
The Winery is definitely on the roadmap! Argynvostholt's going to be next. Your idea with Avrik is a really cool one, and sounds like it'd be fun to play. I'm currently going with a them of "Love versus Hate". Pitting Godfrey's love against Vladimir's hate and tangling in the other revenants seems like a very thematically cool idea to me.
Yes, I also like that. Very interested in your take. I wonder how you will work with the fact Vladimir has authority over Godfrey? A side note on Godfrey I have him hiding in plain sight from Strahd, he obeys all commands given but has use enough of his mind to be as least efficient in executing his orders as possible
*impersonating strahd*: *burp*
Were Harkon Lukas and Lord Soth represented in 5e! Would have loved to hear your take on them if they were :)
Tour de force! Awesome!
Me not being able to do any accents at all xD
The Abbot sounds like C3PO
He would get along with moisture vaporators, I’m sure.
Is there anything special you do for the Dusk Elves?
My players never encountered them. However, I like an airy, musical sort of voice for them. Peter Kenney's rendition of the elves in The Witcher audiobooks is a good source of inspiration for that.
@@LunchBreakHeroes thank you for the suggestion! Loving the channel!
Ah. Madam Walken sounds pretty authentic.
I’ve got a fever. And the only cure… is more sun sword.
I watched and rewatched Young Frankenstein before each game to get a truly terrible, comedic voice. Cloris Leachman is exquisite.
The Madame sounds like Christopher Walken! Haha
What Barovia needs isn't a hero. It's more cowbell.
niiice!
We are not worthy of this level of talent...
I try to do a dutch accent for Rudolph van Richten, to better emulate his roots as a character inspired by Van Helsing.
Irish is also good for Vistani because there're actually two ethnic heritages for most Travellers in Europe (which most Americans don't realise) - Romani and Irish
How would they have different accents when Barovia is a very small region? You can go from end to end in less than a day.
Perhaps because each community is very close nit, and not alot of travel between towns.
Like @Rednaskela said, there isn't a lot of travel in between the settlements, which can cause differences in accents over a long period of time.
Although I haven't stated as much in the videos, my Barovia is three times the size of what's specified in the module. I'm running it the same size as described in the Ravenloft novels. So it's an even farther and more difficult journey between settlements.
And, really, it's all just baseless suggestions. If you wanted, everyone could sound like a southern Texan and the game would work out just fine. :-)
@@LunchBreakHeroes The Curse of Strahd map is not the complete map. There is actually a section of Barovia to the south and east that is cut off in the Curse of Strahd adventure. You see a little bit of the east when the adventure first starts outside the gate on the Old Saravich road. Your pushed west, but there is a settlement to the east. Similarly, if you look on the Curse of Strahd map, the road continues south on the west side of the map. There is actually a whole other region of Barovia down there past Mount Ghakas that is not included in this adventure. It was likely left off because the region is outside the scope of the adventure.
@@jaysw9585 Oh, for sure. And several missing settlements that are present in other editions, books, and even the 5e Adventure League modules.
Who in their right mind would travel between the settlements of Barovia without a VERY good reason..?
Pass the wine. Tomorrow's death by liver damage is better than anything at the end of >those< roads.
This video is very cool, mate. I am Bulgarian and there is a very big gap in accent between Romanian, bulgarian and gypsy. Gypsies here speak only with "it" and had no "he" or "she".
That's an excellent insight, thank you!
Dr. Rudolph van Richten based on Dr. Abraham van Helsing
if you wanne lean into the Dracula angle try making him dutch which is easy to learn by listening to south africans.
also fun note old Helsing was pretty goofy and speaks with a lot of Idioms.
Using Irish for Vistani... Possibly contentious in the UK.
Based off the names i want to go with russian, nordic, germanic, and other surrounding countries kind of accents. Basically eastern european. For the Vastani, I want to go with Italian, or generally more eastern accents. I dunno why but with the looks and names we are given, i get a southern italian, maybe sicilian vibe?
Rudolph could be from the british isles, sort of separating him from the rest of Barovia, as the accents of the islands are much different from the rest if europe, and also ties him in with that classic d&d tone, since for some reason everyone is british. Unless you're a dwarf, then for some reason you're Scottish.
Thats just me tho
Your video gave me the tips and confidence to attempt to voice act Strahd in my dinner scene.
Thank you.
If you want to see my attempted voice acting of Strahd - here is a link: th-cam.com/video/faPIrumCn1Q/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think - I tried to give it some Lunch Break Hereos flair.
Thanks again.
Just got around to watching this--it wouldn't load on my mobile when you first commented. You did a great job there!
@@LunchBreakHeroes Thanks - you were an inspiration. Your videos have been truly helpful to my campaign.
Brilliant man haha
Glad you like it!
The Cockney accent was perfect until the end where it got kinda Australian
Crikey-Good on ya, mate!
Speaking as a Quaker, I don't think you know a great deal about Quakers. While it would probably depend a bit on which sect of Quakerism you were looking at, Quakers never were known for being a particularly insular group. You may be thinking of the Amish or Mennonites. Quakers have never had a practice of separating themselves from mainstream culture, and the branch of Quakerism I'm affiliated with - Liberal Friends - which makes up roughly half the Quakers in the United States, are pretty much secular and/or universalist without any strict dogma.
For reference point, there are Quakers who are non-theists, express belief or connection to multiple religions (Juddaism, Wiccan, Islam, Buddhism, etc.) and more. As far as religions go, that is about as open as you can get.
Just sharing that with you in case you are curious and wanted to learn more. Best to you and thanks for your videos.
Wait you said the Vistani were Irish but you did a Bulgarian accent for Madame Eva
I'm American, please forgive me. :-D
And besides, Madam Eva isn't really a Vistani. :)
I want to highlight the difference between the Vistani and other Barovians, so I'm having most Barovians speak a more antiquated british (for the Victorian gothic horror side) while the Vistan ihave the prominent Eastern-European accents.
what about Rahadin?
Vallaki is London Via Australia
