Sandhills

Sandhills is an area of Montpierre, situated in the Royal Borough of Stoneport. It sits on the shore of the Sea Lake, and is separated from the remainder of Stoneport by the Montpierre Sea Canal. The area is served by Sandhills Subway Station, an interchange station on both the Circle and Gregory Lines (Sandhills forms the western terminus of the latter).

Although there have been several petitions to parliament for the area to be incorporated into its own borough, there remains little public support. Due to its small size, and extremely high house prices (highest in the world currently), it would likely function as a borough catered for the rich while disavowing any poor. Additionally, Stoneport is classed as a Royal Borough due to its Royal Residence, located in Sandhills; at present it is the only Royal Borough without city status and, therefore, would lose its unique status, should Sandhills leave.

There are three principal attractions in the area: Royal Summer Residence, the palace of the King, built into the cliff overlooking the Sea Lake, and the official home of the King in Summer; the Sea Lake, itself; and, Sandhills Lighthouse ; often named the most pointless lighthouse in the world due to the entire Borough of Stoneport being visible, even from across the Sea Lake due to the lights of the promenade.
