Sandpoint
A simple, relatively peaceful town with all the color and common oddities one expects from a tightly-knit community, Sandpoint sits at a point on the Lost Coast halfway between Magnimar and Windsong Abbey. Wood buildings and cluttered docks line the town’s natural harbor, while farms and the manors of wealthy citizens dot the surrounding countryside. During the day, fishing, farming, lumbering, glassmaking, and shipbuilding occupy most of the townsfolk, who commonly retire to their homes by way of Sandpoint’s many taverns. A playhouse and would-be museum make unusual attractions in such a small community, but Sandpoint’s true landmark is the Old Light, a lighthouse of ancient origins that lies in ruins.
1. Sandpoint Cathedral
Easily the largest building in Sandpoint, this impressive cathedral is also the town’s newest structure. Built over the foundations of the previous chapel, Sandpoint Cathedral is not dedicated to the worship of a single deity. Rather, it gathers under its eaves the six most commonly worshiped deities in the region, providing chapels for all of these deities in a communal forum. In a way, Sandpoint Cathedral is six different churches under one impressive roof. Run mainly by Abstalar Vantus, who also takes care of the towns truly sick and needy.
2. Sandpoint Boneyard
This expansive cemetery overlooks the Turandarok River. Handled by Naffer Vosk
3. The White Deer
A pair of wooden life-sized deer, carved with painstaking care from white birch, stand astride the entrance to this sizable tavern and inn. The building is new, recently rebuilt after the previous inn at this location burnt to the ground five years ago in the same fire that destroyed the Sandpoint Chapel. The new building is a grand affair, three stories tall with a stone first floor.
4. The Way North
Maps and sea charts shop owned by Veznutt Poorah.
5. Jeweler
Run by Maver Kesk. Recently Heisted (By Tzar and Fender)
6. Junker’s Edge
The tip of town where refuse is dumped over the edge onto the beach below.
7. Gorvi's Shack
The Half Orc Gorvi lives here. Gorvi employs vagrants and otherwise curs to patrol town with one of his distinctive Red Wheelbarrows to collect and dispose of the towns refuse.
8. Sage
The sole occupant of this ancient building is a cantankerous old man named Brodert Quink, a balding expert on Varisian history and engineering. Brodert has been studying ancient Thassilonian ruins for the past several years and has recently become obsessed with the Old Light. Spent two decades of his youth working at the Great Library of Magnimar. Baffled and Enraged that his learning and obvious intelligence haven't afforded him more prestige. Has a theory that the Old Light was once a war machine capable of spewing fire further than a mile away.
9.Locksmith
Volioker Briskalbeard is Sandpoints local locksmith
10. Sandpoint Garrison
This stone fortress serves double duty as Sandpoint’s militia barracks and its jail. Sheriff Belor Hemlock is often directing the gaurd here. When not otherwise engaged in meetings with the mayor, especially given the recent troubles.
11. Sandpoint Town Hall
Usually Mayor Kendra Deverin can be found here. Also functions as the towns bank until a proper bank can be instituted.
12. Savah’s Armory
Savah Bevaniky's shop sells all manner of weapons and armor.
13. Risa’s Place
Local tavern. Known as much for Risa Magravi's tales of ancient legends and myths as for its spiced potatoes and cider, this tavern is a favorite of the locals if only becuase its out-of-the-way location ensures strangers rarely come by.
14. Rovanky Tannery
Larz Rovanky runs the local tannery with ruthless efficiency. He expects nothing but perfection from his workers and products, so he often ends up doing most of the work himself, since he has a tendency to fire the help. The locals generally don't mind the long waits since his good are of high quality, while he takes extra time fussing over getting things perfect.
15. Red Dog Smithy
Run by Das Korvut who owns many large red mastiffs. You've heard he has a short temper. Does in fact do excellent work, as in part evidenced by Palons Heavy Steel Shield
16. The Pillbug’s Pantry
Herbalist and gardener Aliver "Pillbug" Podiker runs this store which sells mainly medicines and simple potions. He is also a fence of the Sczarni and poison maker, but he'll only admit to it with the password "Have any happy pillbugs turned up lately?" (Fender's knowledge only)
17. Bottled Solutions
This cluttered shop is filled with shelves upon shelves of bottles, bags, and other alchemical containers, some covered with dust and others so new that the pungent stink of their brewing still fills the air. Run by Nisk Tander, who fashions himself a gifted alchemist.
18. Cracktooth’s Tavern
A particular favorite of patrons of the Sandpoint Theater, Cracktooth’s Tavern is always full after the latest show at the nearby playhouse lets out. A large stage gives actors, singers, and anyone else the opportunity to show their stuff. Run by the half orc Jesk "Cracktooth" Berinni. You've overheard he takes the stage occasionally.
19. House of Blue Stones
Monastary to Irori run by Sabyl Sorn.
20. Sandpoint Glassworks

21. Sandpoint Savories
Bakery owned by Alma Avertin, but is mostly run by twin daughters Arika and Aneka
22. The Curious Goblin
The sign out in front of this shop shows a wide-eyed goblin reading a book nearly as tall as him. Inside, this bookshop is a testament to Chask Haladan's obsession with the printed word.
23. Sandpoint Theater
Brand-new cathedrals and ancient ruins aren’t the only incongruities Sandpoint boasts. This massive playhouse, financed entirely by its larger-than-life owner, Cyrdak Drokkus, features one of the most impressive theaters on this side of Varisia
24. Carpenter’s Guild
Run by Aesrick Battlehorn.
25. Sandpoint Lumber Mill
Was run by Banny Harker and Ibor Thorn, but Banny has been the victim of a grisly murder in his own mill. Leaving Ibor to pick up the pieces of Sandpoints lumber industry.
26. General Store
Owned and operated by Ven Vinder and his familiy, Sandpoint’s oldest and best-stocked general store has a little bit of everything—farm equipment, weapons, tack, tools, furniture, food, and even homemade pies by Ven’s wife Solsta.
27. Turandarok Academy
Part School, Orphanage, and Museum run by Ilsoari Gandethus.
28. Madame Mvashti’s House

30. Vernah's Fine Clothing
Clothing and Tailoring outfit run by Rynshinn Povalli.
31. Wheens Wagons
Bilivar Wheen runs this place with his wife Vorah.
32. Scarnetti Mill
The only functioning grain mill in the region, as mysterious arsons have claimed the rest. Run by Courrin Whesterwill.
33. The Hagfish
One of Sandpoint’s most popular taverns, especially among fishermen and gamblers, the Hagfish is also Sandpoint’s best bet for a good old-fashioned seafood meal. the Hagfish gets its name from the large glass aquarium that sits behind the bar, the home of a repellent hagfish affectionately called Norah. Hanging from a nail next to Norah’s tank is a leather pouch bulging with coins: prize money for anyone who can drink down a single tankard of water scooped from Norah’s tank. Owned by Jargie Quinn.
34. Valdemar Fishmarket
Owned by the Valdemar family, but run by and generally considered by the locals to be Turch Sterglus's outfit.
35. Sandpoint Market
At the start of the week the farmers market radically increases the number of food goods available in sandpoint while at the end of the week the market has a bit of a bazaar as merchants from Magnimar, Galduria, Nybur, Wartle, and beyond come to hawk their wares. Items are generally found at 75% the usual asking price.
36. Sandpoint Meat Market
Local butcher Chod Bevuk runs this meat marker/slaughterhous
37. The Rusty Dragon
This large structure is Sandpoint’s oldest inn, notable for the impressive (and quite rusty) iron dragon that looms on the building’s roof, doubling as a lightning rod and decoration. Owned and operated for the past six years by the lovely and popular Ameiko Kaijitsu, the Rusty Dragon is not only one of the town’s most popular eateries (made so, in large part, by the spicy and exotic food served here), but also a great place to meet visitors from out of town, since most newcomers to Sandpoint come upon this inn first.
38. Goblin Squash Stables
The sign above this door perpetuates one of the greatest fears of the lowly goblin—being trampled underfoot by a horse. In a
somewhat grisly display, over the entrance to the stable’s covered barn is the owners collection of goblin ears: preserved and nailed to three different rafters, each bearing the goblin’s name burned into the leathery flesh. Run by Daviren Hosk.
39. Two Knight Brewery
Currently run by Gaven Deverin. Most of Sandpoints Alcohol comes from here.
40. Sandpoint Mercantile League
Ship Passage, Caravan and Carriage Arrangements, and long distance message sending can be done here. Also the place to inquire about land ownership, building construction, and founding new businesses in town or the surrounding hinterlands. The major four noble families still evenly own the league, but it is run in the capable hands of Sir Jasper Korvaski, retired Paladin. Even you've heard of his not so secret relationship with Cyrdrak Drokkus. (DM Note: Hmm....a gay paladin and theatre owner....fancy that.)
42. Fatman’s Feedbag
If the Hagfish is Sandpoint’s most popular tavern, Fatman’s Feedbag is its most notorious. Bar fights are common, and Sheriff Hemlock typically has to come down here two or three times a week to sort them out when they grow particularly violent or loud. The majority of the clientele here are Varisian scoundrels or less-reputable sailors. Seems to be owned and run by Gressel Tenniwar, but is in fact a Sczarni hq owned by local boss Jubrayl Vhiski. (Fender Knowledge Only
43. The Pixie’s Kitten
Many of Sandpoint’s crasser locals have a much more colorful name for this establishment, but Kaye Tesarani runs the town brothel with class and distinguished grace.
44. The Feathered Serpent
This cramped and cluttered shop smells of a strange mixture of incense, spice, and dust. Adventurers seeking magic items and other tools of the trade can find what they’re looking for here more often than not. Run by the enigmatic and wild looking Vorvashali Voon, who's been a little less excitable due to recent thefts.
45. Hannah’s
Herbalist and midwife Hannah Velerin handles most common illnesses and such.
46. Sandpoint Shipyard
Run by Belven Valdemar. Eldest son of the family
47. Valdemar Manor
48. Scarnetti Manor
