Captain Xendros has come to Saltmarsh to acquire large quantities of fish (salted and preserved for transport) in the name of Luskan, a mighty cambion and demigod who rules much of the distant north. Luskan's realm does not produce enough food to feed all its citizens, so it relies on imports for the rest, and Saltmarsh is one of its major suppliers.
The minions of Luskan have only rarely come into direct conflict with Waterdeep, and its ongoing war with Waterdeep's rivals makes the nation an acceptable trade partner in the eyes of the king. The emissaries from Iuz pay on time and they buy shiploads of fish at once, so no one inquires too closely into the captain’s sepulchral voice or her penchant for wearing gold jewelry etched with grim designs.
Xendros sometimes has need for adventurers.
