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.
