Salty's Saloon
A captivating establishment tucked away in the heart of White Crest's Admiral Docks, bearing the resemblance of an old lighthouse that has stood as a silent sentinel over the bustling waterfront for generations. This iconic city landmark has been lovingly converted into a lively tavern, where the adventurous spirit of the sea and tales of daring escapades come alive. The main floor of the tavern exudes a rustic charm, with its wooden walls adorned with nautical relics, bearing the marks of ships long since sailed, and the air heavy with the faint scent of salty sea breezes.
Stepping into the tavern, one is immediately greeted by the cozy atmosphere, filled with the warm camaraderie of friends and strangers alike. The bar, a masterpiece of repurposed lifeboats, proudly stands as the focal point of the room. Behind the counter, crossed oars act as a backdrop, evoking the romantic image of a seafaring life. The centerpiece of the establishment is an enigmatic bronze figurehead, representing a courageous woman clutching a harpoon, symbolizing the maritime heritage of the city and the tales of adventure that abound within its walls.

Alterations
Delving beneath the main floor, the cellar reveals hidden chambers, each with its own unique purpose. The first is Phoebe's Lab, a space where the genius and inquisitive mind of Phoebe Martino, the acclaimed parabiologist, comes to life. Here, she engages in her groundbreaking research, surrounded by the intriguing mysteries she dedicates her life to unraveling. The second chamber, the Storage Basement, holds a trove of treasures and trophies, a diverse collection of both the mundane and the mystical, left behind by adventurers of old, each item carrying a story that whispers of danger, discovery, and the unknown.
A secret haven lies within the depths of the tavern, known only to members of the Adventurer's Guild. This private sanctuary provides a space for guild members to share stories, unwind after their daring quests, and plan for the challenges that lie ahead. Within these hallowed walls, friendships are forged, knowledge is exchanged, and the bond of the guild is solidified, ensuring that the spirit of adventure and camaraderie continues to thrive in the heart of White Crest.
Tourism
Salty's has become something of a landmark to those travelling to White Crest, unfortunately most tourists merely visit to take in the view of the ocean and a few photos with the lighthouse instead of patronizing the tavern and providing increased revenue. The somewhat cultish nature of the regulars among the dock workers also puts off outsiders, slowly sapping the business of much needed revenue.
