Sandpoint is jointly ruled by the office of the mayor and the town council who have veto power over the Mayor's actions if three or more of the founding families agree on a course of action.

The Sandpoint Guard consists of a dozen full time sheriff's deputies under the command of Belor Hemlock. When the call goes out in earnest, Sandpoint is also able to raise about sixty semi-trained militia members from the nearby farmsteads   The town also counts on the efforts of Sheila Adsanya who treats the settlement as her home base from which she goes on wide ranging patrols where she attempts to prune threats as they arrise, before they can coalesce into an intractible problem.

The Founding of Sandpoint   Four powerful families from Magnimar had designs on settling the region where Sandpoint now stands, and rather than work against each other, they consolidated their efforts and formed the Sandpoint Mercantile League. These four families, the Kaijitsu (glassmakers and jewellers), the Valdemars (shipbuilders and carpenters), the Scarnettis (loggers and millers), and the Deverins (farmers and brewers), sailed north to claim their land after securing the rights from the Magnimar Charterhouse. Yet when they arrived, they found the place already settled by a particularly large tribe of Varisians, who held the region as a traditional place to spend the winter. Unwilling to change course, the Sandpoint Mercantile League began a series of talks with the Varisians, promising them an important place in the new township. Unfortunately, after a week of talks seemed to go nowhere, an impatient man named Alamon Scarnetti took matters into his own hands. Rounding up a group of his brothers and cousins, the Scarnettis mounted a murderous raid on the Varisian camp, intending to kill them all and leave evidence implicating local goblins for the deed. Yet the Scarnettis, too drunk and overconfident, only managed to kill five Varisians before they were themselves forced to flee, leaving behind three of their own. The incident caused a several-month delay, but eventually amends were made and the town of Sandpoint was born.   The Late Unplasantness   The most notable events in the short history of Sandpoint occurred in the winter of 4719, and are referred to locally as "the late unpleasantness." The people of Sandpoint would prefer to put the unsavoury disasters behind them, but five years is not long enough to fully forget these events. Within the course of only a few months, a string of murders by a ruthless killer known as "Chopper" and a great fire which destroyed the iconic chapel and many of the surrounding buildings ravaged the town both physically and emotionally. A grand cathedral has since been built and the people of Sandpoint are finally optimistic about their future.

Most of Sandpoint's important government buildings are made of stone, but the vast majority of the town is constructed from wood harvested in the surrounding countryside and processed at the Scarnetti Lumber Mill
