A place of peace, discourse, and neutrality. Shades may call the Sanctum home, but all are welcome within its walls, so long as they uphold the spirit of impartiality. In times of conflict, the Ashen Sanctum is open as a place of parlay and negotiation. Violence is strictly forbidden, under penalty of the Harrowing.
The central feature within the Sanctum is the Ashen Forge, whose fires burn hot enough to melt ore like butter. Equipment such as molds and casts specialized for making weapons have been brought in. There are also plans to install equipment for the creation and safe handling of toxins.
