Egremont is a small fishing village towards the North of England located in the county of Westmorland. This town has access to an Iron mine that it once shared with the neighboring town of Keswick (mine can accommodate 75 workers per day). Eggy (as the locals call it) can only be reached by passing through Penrith, it has no other paths of entry on land, but can be entered through the sea via Port of Egremont.

Economy[]
Overview[]
Egremont's economy has worsened with war. Many citizens have left town to fight, and so production and consumption are low. Egremont is one of very few towns that has a small enough amount of wheat to cope with, which can be attributed to recent mayors' and mentors' suggestions. Prices have fallen in recent times, as the lack in consumer money (due to the temporary loss of the mine) has driven them cheaper. Price of living is 3.8 pounds per day. Income from county work is 16.50. Average weekly gains are at 88.9 pounds (Not calculating for fields).
Port[]
Egremont has a level 4 port and is the northernmost developed harbour in England. Failed hulks and merchant cogs are built and sold here at very reasonable prices. Please contact the mayor if interested.
Harbourmasters[]
Currently: Kelster
In the past, have been: Kelster, United_we_stand, Saskia, Jken418, Jewbeard, Nivera, Eldarad, Hazre, Roy_garlock, Janko
Ships built[]
Four failed hulks have been built at Egremont so far. The second one was completed on 30th December 1458 and was named Fish Slapper. She is owned by the town hall. The third was the Delicata, owned by Osbert, but unfortunately sunk in 1460. The fourth was the Cutty Sask, owned by the town hall, completed on 18th February 1459.
The first cog to be built in the Egremont docks was the Cumberland Angel, which was completed on 26th June 1460 and is owned by Arckangels.

Culture[]
Past[]
Atrian Language:[]
A language known as Atrian evolved as a joke. Atri, the first mayor made numerous spelling and pronunciation mistakes. People eventually stopped correcting her and instead responded: "Yes, we understand. We speak Atrian." It became considered as the official language and remained such until long after her death.
Present[]
Fish Slapping:[]
In taverns, whenever neccessary, fish are used to slap the faces of all those deserving a slap.
The first ship of the TH was named "The Fish Slapper", which proves to this very strong tradition.
There is an annual Fish Slapping contest conducted at the Egremont Hall.
Taverns[]
Previous[]
The Plough and Furrow[]
Owned by Atri, disappeared not long after her disappearance, but was a popular hang out and the first tavern created by a citizen in Egremont. In 1460 Atri of Egremont was made the patron saint of Egremont, her hagiography having been prepared by Bishop Prof Sloth, long time Westmorland resident, and former priest of Egremont. The miracles which occured after her death, and attributed to Saint Atri are included in the hagiograph.
