Dungeons & Dragons: Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Explore the waves above and the fathoms below in these watery adventures for
the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Nestled on the coast of the Azure Sea
is Saltmarsh, a sleepy fishing village that sits on the precipice of
destruction. Smugglers guide their ships to hidden coves, willing to slit the
throat of anyone foolhardy enough to cross their path. Cruel sahuagin gather
beneath the waves, plotting to sweep away coastal cities. Drowned sailors stir
to unnatural life, animated by dark magic and sent forth in search of revenge.
The cult of a forbidden god extends its reach outward from a decaying port,
hungry for fresh victims and willing recruits. While Saltmarsh slumbers, the
evils that seek to plunder it grow stronger. Heroes must arise to keep the waves
safe!
