Dungeons & Dragons Ghosts of Saltmarsh (expansion)

Adventure on the High SeasHeroes must arise to keep the waves safe!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.Jump Into Play with D&D BeyondPurchasing a digital copy of this book unlocks it for use in the D&D Beyond compendium and toolset.
