The village of Salt View is home to a raiding tribe founded by the half-elf Xaynon, an escaped gladiator from Raam. Its population has grown to the extent that raiding alone can no longer sustain it. Over the last year or two, ex-slaves from all over the Tyr Region have come to Salt View for sanctuary, drawn by rumors of a place where they can start new lives. Most of them lack skills that might be useful to raiding parties. Still, the new citizens have brought one intriguing talent to the village: performing. Many former slaves who received training in dance and theater have organized into touring troupes, which now travel the roads of the Ivory Triangle and perform for coin and trade goods. The Salt View troupes are valuable sources of intelligence regarding happenings around the region.
