Editing About the Town (section)

==History==

The ancient ruins suggest this region was once elvish lands, but no writing has survived (at least were humans can find it and the elves and dwarves aren't telling). Three thousand years ago, when the [[Uruk Empire|Uruk]] burst forth from their homeland in the South to conquer the western half of the continent this land marked the northern edge of their territory. Farther north elves and monsters held the wildlands, and so civilization never conquered the vast forests.

Modern Sandpoint began as a tiny Uruk industrial town, dedicated to the production of quality glass from the fine, white sand that gives the town its names. After the rise of Seaxneat and the beginning of the War of the North, Sandpoint kept its business making glass and generally staying out of politics. 

In recent years the dwarves of the mountains have started trading with the West once more, and Sandpoint's location on the Haewen Sea and Dweorgsflot river has made trade with their lands into a new source of profit. Still to small and unimportant to be a threat to anyone, it would seem that Sandpoint has a future of prosperity and peace.
