Moridana is a perversion of the name Maridrar and the land was once part of that kingdom.[4]
Maridrar was an Oerth kingdom, and after more than a century of war, it was the last to fall to the evil Velkaarn. After a battle that nearly wiped out the township, the village of Vizharia came to a truce with Velkaarn, who took over the castle southwest of the village. Mists descended, and castle and village were deposited in Ravenloft. The landscape was altered by the force of Velkaarn's will. Night lasts for long periods of time in Moridana and before the domain’s disappearance, the night had lasted a record-breaking two years.[5]
No matter how powerful Velkaarn had become, he is still powerless to the bloodknife and its prophecy, which infuriates him. Velkaarn rarely leaves his castle due to fear for his own safety.
