Stats and History Population: Demographics: 1108 Humans, 37 Halflings, 25 Elves, 24 Dwarves, 13 Gnomes, 11 Half-Elves, 12 Half-Orcs1226 Government: Dependent Autocracy (Mayorship) Leader: Mayor Kendra Deverin (Human NG Aristocrat/Expert) Alignment: Neutral Good Called the Light of the Lost Coast, Sandpoint is a small town on the southern coast of Varisia, on the northern-most part of Avistan. A holding of nearby Magnimar, it was founded some fifty years ago and has become quite a place of note, becoming quite a bastion of local art and budding would-be adventures, though they might be better spent by the Pathfinders of Magnimar or the intrigue of Korvosa. Because of its reputation as a place where heroes are made, if not born, many come here looking for adventure on the Lost Coast if the magnificent of Magnimar does not suit them, though few find anything but old wives' tales told about the outlying region. Founded by four powerful merchant families from the Lost Coast, Sandpoint has flourished as a merchant point of interest as well as a beacon of protection for the farmer communities on the edge of the town. Famous for its glassworks and its almost magnetic attraction to romantics and troubadours looking for a good tale, and an audience to indulge them, famous acts across the Lost Coast come here from time to time, both to explore and perform in its Theater. While no one can doubt the bright future that lays before the former hamlet-turned-city, only the ignorant would deny the turbulent history of the place, and even with so short a history. While few know what it fully entails, the "Late Unpleasantness" from 4702 is marked with a serial killer, a mysterious death, and a likewise mysterious fire that destroyed the local cathedral. Now rebuilt, it will be celebrated at the annual Swallowtail Festival, on upcoming Sunday, the 23rd of Rova.
