INTRODUCTION
EL.COME
TO
GHOSTS
OF SALTMARSH.
THIS
book
collects seven
D&D adventures,
each
famous
for
their unique
challenges, for their
deadly threats,
and for embracing
the danger
and
wonder
of the
high
seas. Some of
these
adventures initially charted their courses
in the
earliest days of
D&o·s history. while
others set sail in more
recent
years.
In
each
case,
these
tales of
plunder
and
peril have been updated
for
the current edition of the game.
revealing deadly
shores
for brave
crews to explore
anew.
Along with these
adventures
returns
one of
D&D's
most famous
seaside settings: the
port town
of
Salt-
marsh. The
original backdrop of
three
of
this
collec-
tion's tales
(The
Sinister
Secret of
Saltmarsh. Danger at
Dunwater,
and
The Final
Enemy),
this fishing commu-
nity has a tradition
of
being a
starting
point for incredi-
ble adventures. Historically,
Saltmarsh
and the dangers
facing its people provided
a
widening
sphere
of adven-
ture, with increasingly dire threats drawing heroes to
explore
more
of
the
coast of
the Azure
Sea.
Ghosts of
Saltmarsh
continues that tradition.
presenting a portion
of
the coastal
lands
of
Keoland,
a
kingdom in
the
Grey-
hawk
setting. Each adventure notes
where that
story
might unfold in the region
around Saltmarsh.
providing
a shared setting for them all. Although these seven ad-
ventures weren·t
designed
to create a single overarching
narrative,
the tools provided herein make
it
easy to
link
these
stories
into
a
wider
Saltmarsh campaign.
In
addition
Lo the
adventures
themselves,
chapter
1,
"Saltmarsh," provides an
in-depth look at
the
town, its
various inhabitants, the nearby coasts, and
what dan-
gers threaten
the
region. A variety of new
backgrounds
also help
make new
characters
part
of
the
Saltmarsh
community, giving
them personal
stakes
in
the town's
opportunities and
hardships.
The
sea and
its
threats aren't
unique
to
Saltmarsh.
To
help
launch
explorations across the
wild waves.
ap-
pendix A. "Of Ships and the Sea." presents a
toolbox for
ocean-bound
adventures. New rules
for various ships,
how
to crew and captain them, and
how
to
pit them
against each other
provide
adventurers
with new modes
of exploration.
Beyond
this,
details
on a variety of
nauti-
cal
dangers
and oceanic
hazards- from magical
storms
to whirlpools- make the
seas even
deadlier than
ever
before. A
spectrum of
tables
also
helps
generate
encoun-
ters upon the waves, be they deadly
sea
monsters; ran-
dom vessels. theirs
crews.
and
cargo;
or islands brim-
ming with untold mysteries.
Concluding the
appendix
are a variety of
underwater locations-like deadly reefs
and sunken
ruins ready to be
customized
and
explored
as your campaign
demands.
The
book's remaining
appendices
present magical
treasures
perfectly
suited to seafarers and
a robust
col-
lection
of
fearsome
aquatic
foes.
New
horizons
of adventure
now lie
before you.
What
wonders and
terrors will
you
discover
across
the waves?
Set sail and find out!
