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]
