The Enders
The Enders are a rumored group of individuals interested in discovering or inventing a way to permanently kill the Tarrasque. While this was the stated goal of the original heroes that bound the monster, most modern citizens of Salt in Wounds have no interest in doing so as it would effectively destroy the economy (and likely existence) of the city. In addition, the majority of those rare few who would be interested believe that the lasting death of the Tarrasque is impossible. Occasionally individuals are prosecuted for the crime of being Enders under the official charge of conspiring against the sanctity of the Tarrasque’s bounty. This has usually been seen as political theater, a baseless charge used to dispose of persons who’ve angered the powers that be. Most sent to their deaths or truncation in this way claim their innocence right up until the end while some name co-conspirators (who are then also tried and inevitably found guilty). The accepted wisdom of the cynical Salt in Wounds populace is that the Enders don’t exist beyond a few isolated madmen.
