Eterkeres (pronounced eh-ter-KEE-rees) is the areqal of Saltpoint, a port city on the southern coast of the island of Nivaria. Throughout her life she has served many roles - foreign auxiliary in the Korymban military, independent mercenary, areqal of Saltpoint, privateer, areqal of Saltpoint again - but today she is content to settle down. The immense wealth the salt trade has brought her has not hurt matters, of course.
