Saltmarsh is surrounded on the landward side by an extensive stone wall at least 20' high. Even from here, Jason can see watchtowers and patrols. He knows that Keoland is at war with the neighboring Hold of the Sea Princes. Many of the citizen carry arms. A few men have the look of soldiers or mercenaries.
Jason has no trouble finding the Cathedral of Pelor, indeed, he saw it as the ship approached the harbor. This impressive cathedral towers over the neighboring buildings, and it may be the tallest structure in the town of Saltmarsh. It certainly presents one of the more impressive landmarks. The white stone walls of the cathedral rise nearly 100 feet into the air and the large dome of red and orange metal atop the square structure adds another 50 feet to the height. The radiant golden symbol of Pelor adorns the walls of the structure proudly and unmistakably.
As Jason turns north along the road to the cathedral he passes, what must be the Lizard's Boat. An intricate sign built to resemble a sailing ship that has caught on fire hangs above the main entrance to this tavern and inn. The fire appears to be real. Half a dozen lizards perch atop the sign, but do not appear to be harmed by the tiny flames only inches away. They look particularly healthy and well fed.
As he approaches the Cathedral, Jason notes that the grandiose building looks a bit run down and dirty. The huge open space inside that serves as a worship area with a central pulpit and numerous pews is virtually empty. A massive holy symbol of Pelor suspended in the dome above radiates a number of continual flames. The Cathedral is part of a walled compound that seems to be the cities' infirmary. |
