    Young woman who was captured by the heroes after ostensibly sacrificing a lizardfolk citizen to an unknown entity.
  • Eda Oweland
    Oweland is from the oldest prominent family in Saltmarsh. She is seen as the stern, matronly head of the town and does much to care for the weakest or harmed citizen. She does not trust the Kingdom of Keoland's new interest in Saltmarsh and makes no secret of that fact.
  • Eliander Firebrand
    The elected Captain of the Town Guard of Saltmarsh and therefore also a member of the Town Council. He is a Saltmarsh native who served loyally to the Kingdom of Keoland and is veteran of many campaigns in the north.  He lost a leg to an owlbear in the Dreadwood, but does not let that slow him down.  In fact, must don't notice his peg leg. He is also a bookish and learned man and owns the largest library in town.
  • Gellen Primewater
    Primewater is the richest man in town. He is also a member of the town council and often sides with Eda Oweland on issues of commerce and governance. He throws at least one extravagant dinner party or ball per week and is fairly well loved in town by guard, fisherfolk, and pirate smugglers alike.
  • Hanna Rist
    The nervous, yet determined proprietress of the Snapping Line Tavern and Inn in Saltmarsh. She aspires to grow the Snapping Line into a franchise and has recently met a talented individual who can maybe brew her up a way to accomplish this goal.
  • Hastings Clark
    Hastings Clark is a huge firbolg ranger turned diplomat on behalf of the Axewood Steading in northern Keoland. He is also the uncle of Meriwether Clark of the party. He is genteel and noble in bearing, but pragmatic and a realist who has spent most of his time in the forests of his homeland. His primary concern is the influx of hill giants to the northeast of the steading.
  • Jhank
    Female lizardfolk drill sergeant for new recruits into the Lizardfolk Army. She has recently been learning Common and is trying to understand squishy folk humor. She is convinced most of it has to do with chickens.
  • Kiorna Kester
    Kiorna is a highly skilled and sought after leather worker. She has made clothing, tools, equipment, and armor. She specializes in working with exotic and difficult to work with hides. She currently has a deal with the party to find a bulette's hide.
  • Krag
    The half-orc cemetery keeper and amateur town historian. He knows the family names of everyone in town and their ancestors in the cemetery. He and Eliander Firebrand are fast friends and often meet at Firebrand's library to discuss history or philosophy. Krag is a stoic.
  • Manistrad Copperlocks
    The dwarven head of the Royally Chartered Saltmarsh Mining Company. She is a veteran, like Firebrand - although they did not serve together, of the Keoland Army. She is tough and hates being in the backwater country, but believes there's silver in the hills to be mined and she aims to get it.
  • Othokent
    Queen of the Lizardfolk. She is calm and regal and measured. She speaks perfect Common and is very interested in inviting the land based squishyfolk into the Alliance as she believes the Sahuagin are killing fisherfolk.
  • Quelli
    The Locathah ambassador to the Lizardfolk Alliance. Quelli is a Hunter and as such has longer legs than other Locathah. He is curious about the landfolk and fears the Sahuagin more than the other sea folk and is anxious for the Locathah to join the Alliance.
  • Sauriv
    The High Councillor to Queen Othokent. He is aged, stopped, and half blind with cataracts. He walks with a cane that is quite clearly his old rapier in a scabbard. He believes that the land based squishyfolk are potential important allies.
  • Silth
    Ambassador of the Merfolk to the Lizardfolk Alliance. She is dark blue with a violet crest of fins atop her head. Soft-spoken but firm, she supports the Merfolk joining the Alliance.
  • Wellgar Brinehanded
    The one-legged, former whale harpooner, current country priest of Procan, God of the Sea. Wellgar runs the temple and with Krag, maintains the cemetery. Recently Wellgar started an orphanage for all the children left by parents who have been lost at sea - a trend that has been occurring with greater frequency.
  • Winston
    The owner and shopkeeper of Winston's Store on the outskirts of the Hool Marshes. His general store sometimes has rare and interesting items that may help adventurers heading off into the Hool Marshes.
