Café de Nuit

What net-canon settlements have you found? Anything popping up on DMsGuild that is not in another source? Aracos, Barovia comes to mind. I admit I don't have every Ravenloft product on the guild, but I've scoured all printed material and free netbooks for this info. If you know of any, place a reference below and I will add it to the almanac.

I should say, there are a lot of domains hurting for settlements. Mordent, Verbrek, Lamordia, and Kartakass are full as far as total population goes. Darkon, Richemulot, Falkovnia, Nova Vaasa, Nidala, Valachan, Hazlan, Borca, and the Gundarakite parts of Barovia need some help! If you find a town that doesn't call out a specific domain, lets make a case for it here!

A month ago (maybe two), I promised Speedwagon that I would add another settlement to his similar thread (viewtopic.php?t=11291), and I have finally done so. Although you requested net-canon sources, I thought a cross-reference to that thread of homebrew settlements might be handy.

Wow how did I miss that? Thank you Ian!

I'm still curious if I've missed any on the Guild. The content gets made so fast!

I mean... there's the settlements in my Wartorn Gazetteers. Do those count, or do you mean netcanon settlements in canon domains?

Of course I'm tracking those too. There is a net canon domain tab...which I may need to update.

But specifically net-canon settlements in canon towns for the Core map I'm working on.

Van Richten's Encyclopedia of Darklords and Domains vol 2 added Freehome to Souragne (pop 50 or less, p193).

That work also has population and other stats for a lot of canon domains that never received them, including Bakumora (with Kayebo Village), Darani, Estrangia, Grafemotte (w/ the Village of Graefmotte), Histhaven (w/ Village of Histhaven), Kislova (w/ Pirie), Monadhan (w/ Shantytown), Davion, Malosia (w/Birne, Caercaelum, Firalene Down, and Parsimol), the Endless Road (w/ Havenshire) and Mithras Court.

I was looking through some of my stuff on DMsGuild today, there's in "Encounters in Ravenloft" (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/358934 ... -Ravenloft) there's an adventure/encounter called "The Syndicate" that invovles the Syndicate of Enlightened Citizens of Lamordia. There's a town called Mitternacht in Lamordia, with the write-up saying: "The small town of Mitternacht is nestled in the foothills of the Sleeping Beast and on the banks of the Boneoil River (sometimes called the Black River) that leads to Ludendorf, the capital, and then on to the Sea of Sorrows (known in this
domain as the Sea of Secrets)*...[W]hile the town is relatively poor, it has become more important for its shipments of timber and furs to Ludendorf."

Does this help, somewhat?


*This supplement tries to bridge 5e material with old material. There are references to both and to the idea of a Core throughout the text, though it was released in May 2021.

You bet it does, although that author clearly visited the Mordent Cartographic Society back in the day because Mitternacht was on one of Gomez's maps, as the village around the Aubrecker estate. Good to see it show up again and thanks for the research!
