Thayan Enclave

A trade delegation led by Captain Xendros (CE female tiefling priest) has come to Saltmarsh to acquire large quantities of fish (salted and preserved for transport) in the name Thay. The Sword Coast fish are a delicacy for the Nobility of Thay. The emissaries from Thay pay on time and they buy shiploads of fish at once, so no one inquires too closely into the captain’s sepulchral voice or her penchant for wearing gold jewelry etched with grim designs.   Xendros sometimes has need for adventurers. She is particularly interested in tracking down an apparatus of Kwalish. If news of one reaches her, she offers magic items to those willing to recover it for her (short of an artifact, she can supply anything if given enough time to send word to Thay).
