Loyalists

The loyalists consist of newcomers who arrived from the northern reaches of Gotland, loyal to Raghnall Vaiken, King of Gotland. They feel that the town should focus on becoming a useful asset to the crown and value the good of the kingdom before the good of the region. The town guard. the dwarves. and the local farmers are generally loyalists.
The loyalists care about security. They want to keep Gotland's enemies at bay while ensuring law and order. They see smuggling as a key problem, as it enriches the Sea Princes at the cost of the royal treasury and the efforts of honest merchants.
Above all else. the members of this faction put their faith in law. They exert influence through the town guard, though they remain within their legal authority.
The prominent loyalists in Saltmarsh include Eliander Fireborn, and Mansitrad Copperlocks.
