Mordentshire

The map shown here was based on a map included in the Ravenloft II : The House on Gryphon Hill adventure, and the maps in Realm of Terror Set.
It portrays the small village Mordentshire, the main settlement in Mordent.

Mordentshire Map

Assumptions and Details

The map portrayed here is the village in 735 BC (Barovian Calendar), the start of Ravenloft Campaign Setting, at least according to Realm of Terror. It seems the village is a bit small to house the two-thousand people claimed to be living there. However, I choose not too deviate from Realm of Terror for this map. It is possible that future maps for the years 740 (after the Grand Conjunction) and 752 (current) will show an increase in population.

This map also contains the church of Ezra's Chapel of Pure Hearts (Mentioned in the Kargatane's Book of Secrets), as well as van Richtens herbalist shop.
The placement of the latter is my interpretation, and may be totally off. John Mangrum placed the shop on the intersection near the farm labeled '27D'. This seems a bit odd on this map, which, as stated above, depicts a Mordentshire very similar to what it was in 579, so for the moment I choose a different location.
