Glassworks

The Sandpoint Glassworks is one of the industrial centres of the town. Founded by the wealthy Kaijitsu family, along with other investors from Magnimar via the Sandpoint Mercantile League, the Glassworks makes manufactures everything from mundane windows and bottles, to elaborate chandeliers, stained glass windows, mirrors and sculptures. The furnaces of the glassworks burn 24 hours a day, and the factory worker typically live on site.

Sand, as one of the core components of glass, greatly affects the properties of the produced item. While all natural sands contain impurities, the sand around Sandpoint is of quite high quality compared to that of the surrounding lands, and the impurities in the the local sand do not tend to discolour the final glass. As a result, the Glassworks can control additive minerals to produce items to the exact colour and clarity desired.

At the time of the goblin attack on Sandpoint, the Glassworks was owned by Lonjiku Kaijitsu. Tsuto Kaijitsu (the bastard son of Lonjitsu's late wife) lured his sister Ameiko to the building with the promise of information, suggesting that their father had something to do with the attack. When the Drunkards investigated Ameiko's disappearance, they found that the Glassworks has been invaded by goblins (working for Tsuto), that most of the staff had been slaughtered, much of the merchandise destroyed, and Lonjitsu killed, apparently by pouring molten glass over him.
