Blackburn's Crossing is a village in Mordent. Though its folk are not as outgoing compared to those whom dwell in some other lands, the people of Blackburn's Crossing are remarkably tolerant and open-minded in relation to the other Mordentish folk. The relatively welcome and egalitarian acceptance of both foreigners and natives stands out from the usually wary and uptight Mordentish response to strangers. Furthermore, even a mix of demi-human races can be found here.[1]
The village's relatively worldly engagement to the world plus the presence of a thriving black market make it a subject of fear to a number of the Mordentish whom live outside it.[2]

Blackburn's Crossing was founded by Ian Bruce and Brian Blackburn and named with a coin toss to avoid conflict. It was originally comprised of retired adventurers turned alchemists and businessmen. In order to procure a steady supply of alchemical goods, the alchemists joined forces to make Blackburn's Crossing a trading hub. Their descendants carried on their work, eventually joining their bloodlines together by marriage and forming the Blackburn-Bruce Family.[1] However, the family's perchance for decadent excesses and dark research caused public will to drift against them. When the disaster with the Apparatus occurred, the Blackburn-Bruce Family disappeared and scattered to the wind for their own safety.[3]
