Cottagetown
Cottagetown is a town located in the center of Caivh Hwell. It grew and developed after the construction of the Caivhway, which better connected Caivh's main three settlements: Nickwick, Mossellia, and Trepselton. It is adjacent to Caivh's three bays, which are all too shallow, wide, and crowded for maritime use: Seahorse Bay, Sealion Bay, and Seaweed Bay.
Cottagetown is a small village of cottages that offer trinkets and inns for travelers. In recent years, its market has grown in size and reputation, and more merchants are condensing their routes to simply to/from Cottagetown instead of all the way to their endpoint destination on Caivh.

History
Cottagetown has grown in recent years as travel between Trepsilton and Mossellia has increased and travel to/from Nickwick has grown as well, among the now-three settlements. Cottagetown has grown into a popular location for merchants and a popular stop for travelers headed to Mossellia or Nickwick. The market of Cottagetown itself has recently grown in popularity, as travelers are beginning to venture to Cottagetown for Mossellian, Nickwickian, or Trepsiltonian goods, instead of going all the way to those locations.
