Amphail is a village on the Long Road between Waterdeep and Red Larch. It has a population of 600, supporting 250 more in outlying farms. The population is mostly humans, but there are a few half-elves, dwarves, halflings, and other races. Its main trade is growing food for Waterdeep, but it is also known for its outstanding horses—including Amphail grays, glossy black chargers, and Amphail fancys. Due to this, the village suffers from the stench of horse manure during the warmer months. The village has no standing militia of its own but benefits from Waterdhavian guards who patrol from Rassalantar.
Amphail covers hill after hill of rolling farm fields, but the settlement itself is quite small. This open space is overlooked by a black stone statue of the Great Shalarn, a famous war stallion bred in Amphail many decades ago. Local lore holds that if the grim, ghostly figure of the ranger Yarobyn Longarm, a long-ago hero of Amphail, is ever seen in the saddle, war will soon come to the town.
