The Arts Arcane

Amongst the more formal organisations, there are strong traditions of Winding and Occultism in Sanctuary. Crypticists exist too, but are more likely to be more of the maverick-caster kind, rarely holding membership in one of the arcane societies that operate within Sanctuary.

Darker arts such as Daemonology and Necromantism remain at the centre of a (seemingly endless) ethical argument (hinged predominantly around Sanctuary’s three pacts). Practising Dominator and Possessor type Occultists should also expect to find themselves at the centre of similar debates. Anyone practising such forms of The Art is advised to keep a low profile as vigilante groups have been known to operate in Sanctuary.

Anyone visiting Garden should be aware that no forms of magic other than Naturalism appear to work reliably here. The latest Chamber Arcane theory suggests that this is the result of some sort of arcane interference. However, the Lady’s Navy must have found a way to shield their helms from such interference as Garden boast a significant navy.

The Arts Divine

As Sanctuarian’s are overly fond of saying, “Everyone ends up at Sanctuary at some point” (your dear author has lost count of how many times he has heard this phrase), Ecclesiasts of just about any faith and Luuzian Incarnates can all be found in Sanctuary. At the last count, Sanctuary was rumoured to play host to around two hundred different temples and shrines.
