Description
Bampton is a port town in the Field Barony of Bampton that is part of the Archbarony of Vinewind.
History
Bampton was founded by the infamous pirate Jester Jac-O'-Six and his wife, Agayle Desponde, who initially sought gold from Flannish ruins along the shores. After clashing with Aerdi Kingdom troops, they vowed to reform and paid off the Aerdi with stolen gold while secretly hiding much of it by collapsing cliffs over the ruins. Though overshadowed by Radigast's large port, Bampton remains an established port on the Nyr Dyv.
