Sanctuaries are the organizations that enforce the magical laws. All Sanctuaries have a Council of Elders that lead the Sanctuary, and the Council is in turn lead by a Grand Mage. Sanctuaries were seen by some as a "magical police".

History[]

Before the Sanctuaries existed, there were magical communities. Each of these was ruled by twelve village elders. Each of these twelve would oversee a different aspect of village life, but, when the time came to make important decisions, all twelve votes were counted equally. When the Sanctuaries were established, the unwieldy twelve were cut down to a small council of three.

At first the Sanctuaries were unofficial. The sorcerers would go to the Sanctuaries to escape the Mortals' world. Over time, the sorcerers came up with rules, leaders and a code of conduct.[1]

Although the Sanctuaries have worked together before, there has been a lot of rivalry, particularly against Ireland, as it is seen as a Cradle of Magic. Although the Sanctuaries (such as the American Sanctuary) claimed it was due to the danger posed by a Cradle of Magic in distress, some speculated it was due to their power-hungry nature that the wanted to take over Ireland.

In Dark Days, the Irish Sanctuary was destroyed by the Desolation Engine (which was restored by a Remnant-possessed Kenspeckle Grouse). In Mortal Coil, following a Council re-election, the Sanctuary was relocated to Roarhaven. This was later revealed to be part of the Man with Golden Eyes's master plan.

Sanctuary Relationships[]
