The Loyalists
The loyalists consist of newcomers who arrived from inner part of Tethyr and the dwarves of the Star-Spire Mountains, reaches of Tethyr, loyal to Queen Anais Rhindaun . 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 Tethyr'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.
At their best, the loyalists want to grow Saltmarsh into a trading hub with a higher standard of living and improved security. If the Sea Princes are held in check and the sea lanes cleared of threats, Saltmarsh can grow to become the envy of the world.
At their worst, the loyalists see the people of Saltmarsh as a barrier to growth. The locals are little more than allies of the Sea Princes, traitors who for too long have evaded the crown’s notice. If they were to do as the loyalists tell them, then perhaps this fish-reeking pile of a town could become something respectable.
