There are four major cities for the Saltwater Merfolk. Each city is built to be a grand display of wealth and power.

Freshwater Merfolk

Freshwater Merfolk are the farmers, ranchers, and producers of raw resources for the Merfolk communities. Due to the high salt concentration food produced in the Salt cities does not taste as good as food produced in freshwater. Consequently, the Freshwater Merfolk produce the food and other agricultural products needed for the Salt cities. Since farming requires so much space and rivers or lakes are only so big the Freshwater Merfolk live in scattered villages and towns, most not exceeded one hundred people. This has lead to the Freshwater Merfolk making good friends with the local wildlife and if needed can call upon them for aid.
