The Town of Blackmarch lies within the Shadowthorn valley at the southern edge of the Malwyd . It is accessed by a road blazed through the dense forest of the valley from the town of Farwatch

The town of Blackmarch is at the southern end of the Shadowthorn valley nestled against a spur of the Shield Mountains known as the Blade Ridge . The town, like many towns of the Marches, is surrounded by a tall stone wall to protect it from goblin raids. Unlike many of the other towns, the walls of Blackmarch are arranged as a large hexagon. with the Priory, the Tower and the Castle as the three lower points. 

Blackmarch is a functioning magocracy in that any of its citizens who demonstrate arcane talent are immediately 'recruited' by the House of Blackwell to study at their Priory and are given preferential treatment. Their families are moved to better quarters within the town and are given a stipend from the house to ensure that they are cared for properly.
