Eda Oweland

From Wizard of The Coast's Ghosts of Saltmarsh

Councilwoman Eda Oweland

Eda Oweland is the senior member of the Saltmarsh town council, and head of the Traditionalists within said council. Her family owns three large fishing boats, and as such she is deeply tied to the fishing industry.

Mental characteristics

Employment

Eda is currently the senior councilwoman of the Saltmarsh Council, and has been elected to this position three times.

Morality & Philosophy

Eda respects those who stand up to her, as she sees flattery as cowardice. This is because while she occupies a place of authority, she ultimately believes in community - it binds people together - and she should be accountable to that community. As Saltmarsh is her home and community, she will defend it to her dying breath.

Personality Characteristics

Virtues & Personality perks

Ms. Oweland's total trust in community makes her trusted, well liked, and well connected within the town of Saltmarsh.

Vices & Personality flaws

Eda's belief in community makes her distrustful of outsiders

Social

Family Ties

The Oweland family is entrenched in the fishing buisness, and as owner of three large fishing vessels Eda is tied to the livelihoods of many men and women, and the food source of many more.

Religious Views

Eda is a worshiper of Procan, the Storm God. She is less devout due to the sea's ideals, but more for how the church is a pillar of the community and tied to her family's fishing business.

History

Gellan and Eda are co-councilmembers, and the leaders of the Traditionalists faction. While they work closely together as political allies, and have for two of Eda's three terms, Gellan sees Eda merely as a means to an end, and Eda sees through Gellan's lavish parties, seeing him as someone who doesn't truly care for the community.

Relationship Reasoning

Both are powerful people within Saltmarsh, and their current political goal - keep the Crown out of the Colonies' business - aligns, albeit for very different reasons.

History

While they often disagree with eachother, Senior Councilwoman Oweland and Captain Fireborn don't outright oppose one another. Fireborn does wish Oweland would care more about the larger interests of the Empire, but as the Captain of the Guard he understands his desire to protect the town. Meanwhile, Eda does want Eliander to prioritize Saltmarsh more, but still respects his communal role as Captain of the Guard and as the town's translator.

Honest


History

Anders and Eda are co-councilmemebers, and given their shared sense of community in Saltmarsh, frequently in agreement. They are not without differences, however. Councilwoman Oweland is painfully aware of Ander's youth, and Councilman Solmor sees Eda and her Traditionalists as too afraid of change, holding the community back.

A pillar of her community, Senior Councilwoman Eda Oweland truly believes in the strength of Saltmarsh's people. She believes the colonies know what is best for them, and is distrustful of outsiders - including Imperial authorities.
