Smugglers guide their ships to hidden coves, willing to slit the throat of any who cross their path. Monsters gather beneath the waves. Drowned sailors stir to unnatural life, animated by dark magic. The cult of a forbidden god extends its reach. While Saltmarsh slumbers, the evils that seek to plunder it grow stronger. Heroes must arise to keep the waves safe!  \nWelcome to Saltmarsh  \nOur story begins in Saltmarsh, a nondescript fishing village tucked away on the southern coast of the Kingdom of Keoland. Fishing and trade have brought wealth to Saltmarsh’s roughly five thousand mostly human residents. Inns and taverns include the Wicker Goat, Empty Net, and Snapping Line. Other notable locations include the Dwarven Anvil forge, the temple of Procan, Kester’s Leather Goods, the Mariner’s Guildhall, and the Weekly Market.  \nA Brief History of Saltmarsh   \nYears ago the Kingdom of Keoland campaigned to the north. Pirates and smugglers slowly tookover the south building a loose confederacy known as the Hold of the Sea Princes. Saltmarsh suffered as the village succumbed to piracy and slavery under the cruel Princes.  \nSuffering a number of defeats in the north, King Kimbertos Skotti sent ships south, shattering the confederacy of the Sea Princes.  \nWith the Sea Princes on the run, the King sent troops and agents south to establish security and trade. A band of dwarves carrying the King’s decree, begin to mine in the nearby hills. Although the recent changes stand to bring new prosperity to the area, many locals don’t want to see their home changed.  \nThe Factions of Saltmarsh  \nThe people of Saltmarsh generally find themselves split among the two following factions.  \nThe Traditionalists. The traditionalist faction is an alliance of the prominent fishing families and merchants in town, along with the workers who rely on those industries for a living. The traditionalists remember the terrible times during the Sea Princes’ raids and have no desire to see the crown’s ambitions lead to open war.  \nThe Loyalists. The loyalists consist of newcomers who arrived from the northern reaches of Keoland, loyal to King Kimbertos Skotti. They feel that the town should focus on becoming a useful asset to the crown and value the good of the kingdom before the good of the region.  \nWho Are You?  \nYou are a band of adventurers who seek the betterment of the people of Saltmarsh.  \nYou may be a follower of the god Procan, neutral god of weather and the sea.  \nYou may be a fisher, born to the sea and providing for the town of Saltmarsh.  \nYou might have come to Saltmarsh with the dwarven miners, bold with the King’s decree and eager to make your fortune.  \nYou might be a marine, a soldier of the sea pushing back the smugglers and slavers ofthe Sea Princes.  \nYou may be a shipwright, building and repairing the vessels that kept the gold coming to Saltmarsh.  \nYou may be a smuggler, bringing in stolen elven wine under the darkness of a moonless night or smuggling innocents out of the clutches of the Sea Princes.  \nYou might be a veteran of the Keolish army who fought in the north before being sent to the south to crush the Sea Princes.  \nAbove all you are companions who, together, seek to bring safety and prosperity to the village of Saltmarsh.","cbCaicg8H5btxkgK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicg8H5btxkgK","pdf",40314,"English","# Welcome to Saltmarsh\n## A Brief History of Saltmarsh\n## The Factions of Saltmarsh\n# Who Are You?","[{\"question\":\"What threats endanger Saltmarsh in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"Saltmarsh faces smugglers and pirates, monsters under the waves, drowned sailors animated by dark magic, and the cult of a forbidden god spreading its influence.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the Sea Princes become involved in Saltmarsh’s region?\",\"answer\":\"Keoland campaigned north, while pirates and smugglers took over the south, forming the Hold of the Sea Princes.
