[Sale Bête]

Wilden spirits rejoice! Guided through Spiritmancer Nora Hyde's hand, the volatile wisps which rampaged throughout the Shadowlands finally find rest, and move in tandem with the Sanctuary's progression. As such, the realm of Sanctuary becomes much more habitable - cursed flora finds relief; allowed to wither and flourish again in fresh blue hues. The local fauna of Ents and Gremlins calms down all the same, now keeping to their own tribes' marked territories, without much of a bother to Sanctuary's citizens. 

Within the settlement itself are talks of great innovation - the pursuit of a great work to bring the act of miracle making closer to man, no longer to rely on the generosity of Godhood. Alchemists and lesser Sorcerers gather around the Sanctuary for this pursuit, but its exact means fall more into rumor-peddling than concrete statements.

[ Current Events ]

In defiance of the land's quite vocal opinions, the Sanctuary delves deeper into its focus on internal affairs - securing the future of its military and scholars all the same.

 

• Plenty of coin invested into hiring non-magi contractors and securing building materials, the Sanctuary's infrastructure expands all throughout the southern Shadowlands, with new brick-made towers and halls overseeing the similarly gloomy landscape.
   
  
• Rituals take place to make the realm of Sanctuary more habitable, with Nora Hyde spearheading a call for the local spirits to allow for, and assist with Sanctuary's rapid expansions.
   
  
• The Sword of Sanctuary is established as the nation's military might, seeing plenty of new arrivals under the watchful eye of Braxton Bargiel.
   
  
• Felice Argus, the Sage of Liberation, brings forth Sorcerers old and new in search of innovation within the art.
   
  
• Both local and foreign scholars work over-time under Cedric Veythar, the newly-appointed Head of Research, concerning matters largely unknown to the wider public.
   
  
• The Sanctuary makes clear its stance on matters of Faith and the Divine. Onlookers at celebration of the settlement’s expansion and success bore witness to a tense ousting of Grey Aundeoth, making diplomacy stagnate between the nascent nation and other nearby neighbors.
  

[ Future Plans ]

The future of the Sanctuary remains bright, progress geared forward towards the horizon after successful expansion. An era of prosperity and advancement for its citizenry.

  

• Lessons are announced to resume in short order, after the settlement went quiet to bolster its own expansion. A word of forewarning is issued, however: not all are evidently welcome at these lessons any longer, lest they prove themselves of worth or have some means to contribute to the Sanctuary’s general cause.
   
  
• The esoteric Sorcerers of the Wolfshead Seal are vigilant for new members, seeking those of the proper mindset to join their Order.
    
  
• There are supposedly tools, arts, and gifts unique to this Seal that are seldom spoken of openly.
    
  
• There is talk of work being performed to circumvent the loss of a Sorcerer’s Soul upon death, though any labors on this effort are kept carefully guarded.
  

 

[ Rumors ]

Such an oddity is the Sanctuary among Meranthe's citizenry, it would be stranger if it didn't have any rumors surrounding it...

 

• Talk swirls about the Sanctuary being in possession of relics of Divine magic Though for what purpose is unclear, given their intolerance for the Pantheon’s worship in their walls.
   
  
• Members of the Shadowlands city have been spied going to and from the Isle of Death - what’s more, supposedly one of the Isle’s crows has taken roost somewhere within their keep.
   
  
• The Sanctuary’s keep itself is host to several underground tunnels, which hold all manner of misbegotten research and sleights against the Gods. Who knows what else is in them...
