A village on the Long Road between Waterdeep and Red Larch. Amphail is named for one of Waterdeep's early warlords, Amphail the Just, who had estates here, and whose spirit is believed to still patrol the streets.
People
The people of Amphail are mostly farmers and horse-ranchers, as well as those who cater to the needs of visiting nobles. Many of the nobles in Waterdeep treat Amphail as their own personal rustic resort town, going on holiday here to ride horses, hunt, and revel in its "country charms." Many of the folk in Amphail resent them, but are more than willing to tolerate being looked down highnoses for the coin these spoiled nobles spread about liberally while they are here.
Government
Amphail is effectively run by three Waterdhavian families: House Amcathra, House Ilzimmer, and House Roaringhorn. They take turns filling the position of Lord Warder for the village, switching once every four years during Shieldmeet. The current Lord Warder is Daunder Ilzimmer, a tall thin man with a nose for business.
Defenses
Amphail is among the areas patrolled by the Waterdeep Guard.
