Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Wreck of the Marshal

Just below aqua green waters, a merchant's ship lies trapped amongst barnacled reefs and the silt of the sea floor. A pleasant and melodic song turns your ear as all your worries and thoughts sink away..

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Landgrave's Folly + Belfry Ruins

A crumbled belfry of collapsed walls peaks above the sea's crashing waves.

The sunken temple is entombed with sea flora. A pit throbs with a dim, unnatural light.

The light flickers of intricate magical sigils.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Temple of Tharizdun

A tangled wall of homes and stores rise up on either side of a channel of sluggish, tainted water.

A narrow timber bridge sags across the channel, leading to a partially sunken galley with a pair of massive wooden doors.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Hemlock Pit Warehouse

A three-story stone building, roofed in slate and dotted with iron-barred windows. Its walls and roof appear to be coated with a black gruel.

Behind the warehouse spreads a green pit of mud. A huge, rickety crane dangles the dripping hulk of a ship.

Collab with @jamesrpg.art

Near the base of cliffs, a fifteen-foot-tall obelisk of cracked stone is draped with vines and black moss. Behind it, you see a dark passageway obscured by withered vines.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: The Remains of Tammeraut

The rotting skeleton of a war galley's stern looms up from the ocean bottom. An eerie, violet light pulses from the depths of the hull.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Pit of Hatred

A pulsating violet light fills this underwater cavern. The stern of the ship has broken through the cavern's fifteen-foot-high ceiling. The nauseating light reveals a hideous array of piled bones.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Firewatch Island Hermitage

The sun makes the waves sparkle and dance as you approach shore. Three barren hills rise above narrow, rocky beaches and small wiry shrubs. In between is a small stone fortress with a bell tower.

The Red Hand of Doom: Skull Gorge Bridge

The ancient Dawn Way crosses the gorge on a bridge of stone. Anchored at both ends to large stone towers.

Curls of smoke from campfires attest to some sort of activity. A sleek and menacing green dragon perches on the tower's roof.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Sahuagin Lair Level 3 (72x106)

The stairs descend deeper still. A barracks with swaying seaweed fills the room. A looming sahuagin floats near the bottom of the stairs, its dark green robes waving gently in the water.

The Keep on the borderlands: Caves of Chaos

The trail you are following leads into a ravine. The walls rise to a height of 100’, made of dark streaked rock. At varying heights, you can see the black mouths of cave-like openings in the rock walls. This must be the Caves Of Chaos.
