Mordent is the setting of the module Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill. After one of Strahd and Azalin's many attempts to escape the Demiplane of Dread, they found themselves in Mordent. After the events involving the Alchemist and the Apparatus, they were sent back, and Mordent was added to the demiplane as a new domain.

The Darklord of Mordent is the ghost Lord Wilfred Godefroy.

Flora & Fauna

Wraithroot is native to Mordent.

Geography

Mordent is dotted with small villages. Waterford is mentioned by John Mangrum in his adventure 'The Man Who Lost His Mind'. Crawford is a village derived from the Dungeon adventure 'The Unkindness of Ravens', by Jason Kuhl. Glenwich is a take on the English Dunwich (a real village on a sandcliff that threatens to be swallowed by the sea). The last site also is the location of Preston Hill, which is featured in Children of the Night:Ghosts. The Mordent Cartographic Society also supplied a few non-canon river names. The 'Volfen' is the river that originates in what was previously Arkandale, while the 'Newbury River' flows out of Richemulot.
