INTRODUCTION TO SANDPOINT

Sandpoint is a frontier coastal town near a wilderness area and a week's travel from the nearest major city.

FRONTIER ADVENTURE
Sandpoint is a rustic but prosperous town. The town has had to deal with a number of disasters in the past few decades, yet Sandpoint has weathered these trials and emerged stronger after each one. Today, the town hosts several thriving industries (including lumber, fishing, farming, and glassblowing) as well as several unique businesses and entertainment venues.

POPULATION
Sandpoint has a little over 1,200 people living in it - while most of them are human, there are a few dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, half-orcs and halflings living in the town as well.

MAYOR
The mayor of Sandpoint is Kendra Deverin. Friendly and approachable, she often deals with adventurers and sometimes offers rewards in return for performing quests to protect the town.

CLERICS
Father Abstalar Zantus runs the Sandpoint Cathedral, a church where worshipers of Desna, Sarenrae, Gorum, and other "good" gods can to got pray, and where anyone can go to pay for some healing.

ROGUES
The waterfront is where local gangs hang out - known as the Sczarni, these thugs and scoundrels are a good place to go if you're looking to buy things like thieves' tools or other semi-legal items.

WIZARDS
Ilsorai Gandethus is the most powerful wizard in town, and one of the smartest folks in town to boot. He runs the town school and the orphanage, Turandorak Academy. You can go to him to buy spells or ask for advice about all sorts of magic and legends.

FIGHTERS
Sheriff Belor Hemlock and his militia keep the peace in town, but some things are too tough for the militia - the sheriff sometimes hires adventurers to handle these problems. Meanwhile, the elf huntress Shalelu patrols the Sandpoint Hinterlands. She keeps an eye on the roads, looks out for goblins, and is all-around one of the best people to to talk to if you're looking for information about the nearby wilderness.

THE RUSTY DRAGON
The tavern and inn called the Rusty Dragon is the best place in town to rest and relax after an adventure, since the tavern's beautiful owner, Ameiko Kaijitsu, is a "retired" adventurer herself. Although food isn't free, rooms to rest for the night are always free at the Rusty Dragon once you've proven yourself an adventurer by finishing at least one quest!

Except that I'm not actually setting the campaign in Golarion. I cribbed some notes and maps from the Pathfinder Beginner Box, but I'm not using the "official" Sandpoint. I'm using the info from the Beginner Box as a launch pad for my own ideas. None of the information in the wiki applies to OUR Sandpoint (although I may steal some bits here and there as the need arises and the mood strikes).

If you want to take some info from the wiki or other sources as a starting point to fill in your character's story, that's perfectly fine, of course. But please don't assume anything in any material other than what I post here is true for Sandpoint as it exists in the Savage Kingdoms.

SHOPPING IN SANDPOINT
You can buy all of the equipment listed in the Core Rulebook at stores in Sandpoint. Other equipment may be available as special orders or from traveling merchants. Characters may also begin with any equipment listed in the Advanced Player's Guide (or other books, after consultation with the GM), but such equipment may not be easily available for purchase during the course of play.

Adventurer's Kit
This bundle of gear includes all of the basic equipment that most adventurers need: a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, flint and steel, hemp rope (50'), a sack, torches (5), trail rations (5 days), and a waterskin. Cost: 9 gp. Weight: 30 lbs.

HEALING
The clerics at the Sandpoint Cathedral are always available to cast healing magic, but as higher level characters need additional or more powerful spells to get them up to full strength, the clerics charge higher-level characters more for healing magic. It costs 10 gp per level for a character of up to 5th level to be healed up to maximum. The clerics charge normal prices (see PCR 159, 163) for other spells.

MAGIC ITEMS
Savah's Armory is the best place to go to get magic weapons and magic armor, while the Pillbug's Pantry is the best place for potions, elixirs, and alchemical items, and the best place for other magic items is the Feathered Serpent.
