Cackmere House

Cackmere House is the residence of the Lord of Cackmere District.

Situated to the south of Merebottom and the north of Kalehead, it stands on a mound, which itself is a clearing in a coastal forest of oak and ash trees. Because of its position, it has a lovely view, but is also a rather draughty and cold place.

Description
Owing to the long poverty of the district, and the relative weakness of House Turntal who were once the lords of Cackmere, Cackmere House is not in a very good state of repair. While the outer stone walls present what looks like a formidable lordly house, fortified against all comers, the inside is dilapidated.

The residential apartments are on the south side of the house, facing the sun but also the fierce sea winds, and is a draughty place. Stairs from the apartments lead up into the watchtower. On a sunny day the place can be quite welcoming, but since that is not often the case, the whole place has a gloomy atmosphere.

Landmarks

 * Watchtower - situated on the south side of the wall, this five-storey stone and wood structure overlooks Kalehead and the tumultuous Southern Sea. Its top floor was blown away during a fierce storm some ten years ago, so that the top is now exposed and the fourth floor is the highest floor.

Residents

 * Rose Wynnett - widow of the lord, the current Lady in Residence.
 * Jerem Baseltyne - Butler of Cackmere, de facto manager of Cackmere's affairs at the moment
