The Saltmarsh Register - Vol 1.6

 The Saltmarsh Register is the in-game newspaper I invented for the Ghosts of Saltmarsh game I run online every other Saturday. It is reprinted here to give others a taste of how that game has developed. WARNING, it may have spoilers for the Ghosts of Saltmarsh adventure, though I have deviated a bit from the published module.

The Saltmarsh Register

VOL 1.6 – Starday, 8th of Reaping, 570 CY

Salinmoor’s Finest Catch of Tidbits and Tattle printed weekly each Starday, publisher Tyna Hilltopple 

NEW TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER NAMED

After the shocking death of Gellan Primewater, Garrett Axehandle has been named as the fifth council member of the Saltmarsh Town Council. Eda Oweland opposed Axehandle, claiming it was improper for him to serve as a representative of the crown and on the town council, but the other three council members approved his appointment, which was suggested by Anders Solmor who told the Register, “After the death of Primewater and the suspicion that he was loyal to the Scarlet Brotherhood and not the people of Saltmarsh and the Kingdom of Keoland, the council wanted to show the crown we are acting in good faith.”

RECRUITS STILL NEEDED

Captain Tamsyn Muir still needs brave recruits willing to sail on the Swift Blade for the navy of Keoland. Bold sailors of Saltmarsh, show your loyalty and volunteer in the war against the sinister pirates who claim to be Sea Princes. Let us show that Keoland rules the Azure Sea and not these bandits of the waves.

WHO IS DULCINEA GIDEON?

The suspicious heir of the Primewater fortune has arrived in Saltmarsh with a dozen mercenaries and has arrived to take possession of the Primewater estate. She and her lackeys have refused all efforts by the reporter of this fine publication to sit for an interview or provide any information about herself. Dear readers, if you know anything about this mysterious woman please reach out to the editor of the Saltmarsh Register.

FISHING TIDBITS

Much to the shock of his fellow fishermen and fisherwomen, Ol’ Norbert has caught a monster kingfish over 2 stones in weight and decidedly the largest kingish known to have been caught in Salinmoor!
