Loyalists

The Loyalists faction comprises newcomers who have recently migrated from the northern regions of Keoland, displaying unwavering loyalty to King Kimbertos Skotti. They believe that the town of Saltmarsh should prioritize its usefulness to the crown and prioritize the greater good of the kingdom over regional interests. Among the ranks of the Loyalists, one can find the town guard, the dwarves, and the local farmers, who align themselves with this faction.

Central to the Loyalists' concerns is the matter of security. They are committed to safeguarding Keoland's borders from external threats, ensuring law and order prevail within Saltmarsh. Smuggling, in their eyes, poses a significant problem as it not only benefits the Sea Princes but also undermines the royal treasury and the honest efforts of legitimate merchants.

Above all else, the members of the Loyalist faction place their faith in the enforcement of law. They exercise their influence through the town guard, carefully operating within the confines of their legal authority.

In their most positive form, the Loyalists aspire to develop Saltmarsh into a bustling trading hub characterized by an elevated standard of living and enhanced security. By containing the influence of the Sea Princes and ensuring safe passage through the sea lanes, they envision Saltmarsh growing to become a source of envy for the rest of the world.

However, at their most extreme, the Loyalists perceive the people of Saltmarsh as hindrances to progress. They view the locals as mere allies of the Sea Princes, traitors who have escaped the notice of the crown for far too long. Should the inhabitants of Saltmarsh comply with the directives set by the Loyalists, the faction believes that this town, with its pungent odor of fish, could potentially transform into a respected and esteemed community.
