Carte de Sanctum

In the beginning, Sanctum was a city called Siela, named after Lady Siel, from which the benevolent Lady Ariel ruled. It was only as the war against the Balaur and the Asmodians deepened that it developed into the city that it is today, a social and vibrant hub and not just a military outpost.

After the great catastrophe that split the world apart, the lands of Elysea were left in ruins. Frequent attacks from the bestial races meant that the rebuilding process was under constant threat. This forced the five Seraphim, including their leader, Ariel herself, to gather their magic and use it to lift Sanctum into the air and out of enemy reach.

As commerce within the city grew active, Sanctum became the core for economic, military and administrative activities – but there was a problem. With the city floating in the air and space thus being limited the population was quickly bursting at the seams, and transportation in and out of Sanctum became overcrowded and difficult. This lead to the formation of suburbs forming on the ground beneath the floamwting metropolis, which eventually developed into a new province.

These days Sanctum is a prosperous complex - equally important as a social center for the Elyos now, as it was to them in its earliest form as a military base.
