Solmor's Hiring Letter

Greetings,

I trust this message finds you in good health. I write to you now because I have no one else I trust with this delicate task.

My brother met an untimely and suspicious end, likely driven by political motives or hidden agendas. With his death, my nephew Anders Solmor has inherited both the family merchant business and a seat on the town council. I fear that Anders is now a target, just as his father was.

Saltmarsh is critical to the kingdom, and Anders, though young and inexperienced, holds significant influence This makes the situation all the more precarious, as Anders could also be manipulated by others with ulterior intentions.

I am putting together a party to act as my eyes and ears in Saltmarsh. Watch over Anders, uncover any threats, and ensure his safety. Maintain the utmost discretion; reveal your true purpose only if absolutely necessary. The enemy’s identity and motives remain elusive, and we cannot afford to alert them prematurely.

I have arranged for the party to travel from Gradsul to Saltmarsh, departing tomorrow. Enclosed, you will find a voucher for a week’s stay at an inn in Saltmarsh, local maps, an Adventurer’s Guide to Saltmarsh, and 20 gp. You will find the members on the furthest dock in Gradsul where the 'The Leviathan' is at berth.

Your past service to me has proven your worth. Protect my nephew and uncover any plots, and you will be richly rewarded. Ensure Saltmarsh’s safety, and lands and titles will be yours.

While my support is limited, I will send Golden Vault spys or opportunities to you. Look for the mark of the Vault; it will lead you to riches or those who will pay for services.

Yours sincerely,

Lord Solmor
