Summary

The Saltborn, as he (or she) is exclusively referred to as, is the primary protagonist and player character of the game Salt and Sanctuary.

However, he instead washed ashore upon the Nameless Island, a mysterious undocumented land where beasts and horrors roamed free, and many familiar sights from the mainland were conglomerated together. Lacking another purpose, The Saltborn set forth into the unknown, on a quest to uncover the island's secrets and rescue the princess if possible, ignorant of the grander story he was to play a role in...
