Saltmarsh and similar towns kept to fishing, content to maintain a low profile and avoid governmental entanglements. The crown's benign neglect allowed piracy and banditry to flourish. The southern coastal regions of Keoland remained a backwater. Each successful campaign increased both the crown's wealth and power, and each one in turn drew the kingdom's attention even farther north. For several generations, its superior calvary and bold knights pushed the kingdom's borders outward to the north, west, and east. Saltmarsh is a nondescript fishing village tucked away on the southern coast of the Kingdom of Keoland. The setting of this adventure depends on the group. These adventures will offer unique challenges, deadly threats, and days of wonder navigating the sea. Ghosts of Saltmarsh is a collection of seven D&D adventures, some of which have their origins from the earliest days of the game.
