Merebottom

Merebottom is the district seat of Cackmere District.

A small village, it lies near the coast, though partly shielded from the sea winds by a coastal forest. The forest is property of the Lord of Cackmere, though it is often used by the villagers for pig forage.

The economy of the village is based mostly on farming and livestock raising; wool is sent west to the Town of Gansbury to be processed. Due to the rather poor soils, Merebottom is not exactly a wealthy village, though its wealth is quite concentrated; wool is a precious trade commodity and some of Merebottom's residents have benefited from this.

Cackmere House, the residence of the Lords of Cackmere, lies to the south of the village, in the forest and astride the road between Merebottom and the other main village in the district, the small fishing village of Kalehead.
