Amphail

North of Waterdeep on the Long Road.

Named after one of Waterdeep's early warlords, who is said to haunt the surrounding hills in spirit form, frightening away monsters.

Hobbies: Equestrianism.

A black stone statue of a famous war stallion stands rearing in the city's center. This horse is often decorated by high-spirited locals for holidays and events. Children are allowed to hurl stones at birds perched on the statue, to help keep it free of droppings. Children also climb the statue, though that is not allowed.

Plentiful farmland

Secluded estates held by rich Waterdhavians

Stands of dark duskwood and spruce trees are everywhere.

Locations
The Stag-Horned Flagon

Political Landscape
Three Waterdhavian families have the most influence: House Amcathra, House Ilzimmer, and House Roaringhorn. Together, they run the town, with the controlling family changing each Shieldmeet. The current Lord Warder of Amphail is Dauner Ilzimmer.

Thanks largely to the influence of its nobles, Amphail is a member of the Lords' Alliance and enjoys the protection of Waterdeep's city guard. The Lord Warder also hires adventurers from time to time to take care of pesky bandits and monsters.
