Sankt Bunnt is a port city in northwest Dungeyland. It lies at the head of the Neerwasser estuary, 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Maishändler, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from the Andamonian border and 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Sarmize. With a population of 54,637, it is the second-most populous city in the province of Maisfeld. Once an important fishing port, Sankt Bunnt has been eclipsed by ports on the west coast that have easier access to fishing grounds in the Sea of Velar.
History
Sankt Bunnt was founded in the ninth century by Saint Bunnt, from whom it takes its name. Bunnt (which is a pet form of the name Boniface) was an early Heidish bishop, a disciple of the Cassonnaise Saint Gaudéric, and his monastery was an important centre of learning. Bunnt was memorialised in a number of Latin vitae and was, briefly, one of the chief national saints of Heideland. Sankt Bunnt was the seat of a bishop until the Reformation, even after the town suffered a severe decline in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. As an important pilgrimage destination, Sankt Bunnt was a thriving port and prospered greatly from trade and donations. The town was extensively fortified against pirates, but these defences were razed following the capture of the city by Andamonia in 1633 and not rebuilt.
The city was a minor member of the Oostwarden League.
