Saltmarsh

Saltmarsh is a nondescript fishing village tucked away on the southern coast of the Moonsea. Previously, it was part of the Kingdom of Keoland, a nation conquered by the Thayan Empire. Despite war, conquest and the change of rulers, Saltmarsh remained sleep and largely unchanged due to its remote location.
Some years ago, with Keoland at war with Thay and the south coast poorly defended by the crown, Saltmarsh was itself attacked by slavers of the Sea Princes, a coalition of pirate factions who control territories to the southwest.
Another victim of the slaver raids was the nearby regional capital of Seaton. The city was sacked, and nearly a thousand refugees fled to Saltmarsh. Around the same time, adventurers dealing with sahuagin in the Flooded Forest returned to Saltmarsh with a great deal of plundered wealth. The resulting increase in wealth and population began a period of rapid expansion for the town, and its proximity to the Moonsea and the forest of Cormanthor has made it a popular home for adventurers.
After Thay conquered Keoland, King Kimbertos Skotti was assassinated during an apparent meeting to sign a peace treaty with the Thayan empire. This has resulted in lingering suspicion and hatred of the Thayan occupiers.
