Lady Xendros, a red-skinned female tiefling, leads a trade delegation that has come to Saltmarsh to acquire large quantities of fish (salted and preserved for transport) in the name of Naaru. The fish is destined for a far northern settlement of monks dedicated to study and knowledge. The settlement does not produce enough food to feed all its citizens, so it relies on imports for the rest, and Saltmarsh has become one of its major suppliers.   Xendros sometimes has need for adventurers. She has been open about a particular interest in tracking down an Apparatus of Kwalish.
