Saltoan was one of the oldest cities on the Vision Plain. It was located in the eastern part of the continent of Genabackis on the trader road between Darujhistan and Capustan. It was surrounded by thick low walls stained with brown streaks. No guards monitored traffic passing through the huge wooden doors of the city's gates. Having sent its vaunted Horse Guard to join Caladan Brood's Host, the city became a mostly lawless place with its pitiful constabulary no match for the various thieving groups vying to control the city.

"Saltoan had once stood alongside the river Catlin, growing rich on the cross-continent trade, until the river changed its course in the span of a single, rain-drenched spring. Korselan's Canal was built in an effort to re-establish the lucrative link with the river trade, as well as four deep lakes - two within the old river bed itself - for moorage and berths. The effort had seen only marginal success, and the four hundred years since that time had witnessed a slow, inexorable decline." ―Description of Saltoan The city was characterised by crumbling architecture, and narrow alleyways through rat-infested tenements. The streets stank of rotting rubbish and sewage. Although nominally ruled by a king and council, true power was said to belong to the city's hold-masters and mistresses, local crimelords who each controlled their own territory. The roads leading away from the city were monitored by spotters at the city gates who could report particularly promising caravans to the local bandits.
