			== 5. Mining Company Headquarters ==

			Once a mansion owned by a local noble family, this building was purchased by the crown and serves as the dwarven mining company’s headquarters in Saltmarsh. Manistrad Copperlocks stays here when she must do business in town; otherwise, several dwarf clerks work here during the day, logging deliveries at the docks to be transported to the mine and arranging for the processed ore to be loaded on trade ships bound for distant ports.

			Rumors abound of a vault hidden beneath the building.

			== 6. Keledek Tower ==

			This three-story tower is home to the town’s resident sage and wizard, Keledek the Unspoken, human male. Keledek’s dusky skin, bald head, and bright red silk turban — not to mention his height of nearly 7 feet — make him an unmistakable figure in town.

			Keledek came to town years ago from Mulhorand, a distant kingdom held in a mix of contempt, mistrust, and fear by the locals. Rumor around town claims that speaking his name aloud allows Keledek to eavesdrop on a conversation for a short time.

	Not listed with a number on the map, there are two refugee camps filled with people fleeing the War of the Dragon Queen. These camps are largely ramshackle affairs filled with tents and poorly-built hovels made of scrap materials. The townsfolk often resent their presence as they have caused the price of labor to drop ("they're stealing our jobs!") while the refugees resent the townsfolk lack of empathy as Saltmarsh was curiously left unscathed by marauding dragons during the war.
