Ghosts of Saltmarsh

This document corrects and clarifies some text in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. These changes appear in recent printings of the book and have been applied across D&D Beyond.

Chapter 1

Azure Sea (p. 27)

The following text has been added between the “Pale Prow” and “Dreadnaught” sections.

The Salted Glade is a galleon made from the base of a massive, buoyant tree. A grove of smaller trees grows from its deck, their boughs catching the winds to propel the ship. From a distance, the two treants who serve as the ship’s main artillery are visible moving on deck.

The Salted Glade is captained by Mithina Greyheart (NE half-elf female druid), whose grove was destroyed by a massive tidal wave nearly twenty years ago. Mithina’s heart sank with her grove, and her mind turned to vengeance. She has since turned to piracy to fund her search for a legendary island known as Procan’s Bloom, where she hopes to chastise the god Ehlonna for the destruction of her home. Aiding her is the corrupted dryad Filios, who dwells in a shriveled oak growing from the ship’s center.
