Physical description: Sanctuary features homes and stuctures in a wide variety of styles, and includes huts and dens made of materials like mud, clay, wood, leaves, and dried grass. Some of the structures are partially submerged in the lake. Many varieties of trees grow nearby, including apple and pine. The town is also surrounded by long grass and dense bushes, including poison ivy. A number of small animals live in and around the town, including chipmunks, mice, fish, and butterflies.

Geography: Sanctuary is built along a cold stream trickling downhill from a lake in the foothills of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains. The town has been built around a small, cold lake. The mountains around the town contain a number of small caves.

Culture: Sanctuary is known for being home to humans and dragons of all kinds. It has a higher than average population of hybrids, and its structures are built in an eclectic mix of styles from all over the world.

History: Sanctuary was founded in 5012 AS under the leadership of the Talons of Peace. While the organization has since been discontinued, their mission is still an important part of Sanctuary's founding principles. Additionally, Sanctuary served as an early center for dragon research on humans and their culture, and has since evolved to become one of few places where dragons and humans live alongside one another.

During the War of Patience, Sanctuary has steadfastly maintained their neutrality. It is common for Skywing and Sandwing soldiers to stop in the town temporarily, and while they are not barred from doing so, tensions have begun to rise.
