Sanctuary

Sanctuary is Chadisekhar's brain-child for solving the problem of a lack of safe places for power wielders, especially mages, to relax and renew themselves. It is essentially a limbo point, where any can come to enjoy time away from the wars and fighting that ensues between power wielders and others. As well as being a place of rejuvenation, Sanctuary is also a training ground and melting point for wielders to come and build up their skill. Chadisekhar has the final word, but it is hoped the denizens of Sanctuary will abide by the laws of courtesy, justice, and compassion.

High structural integrity, Empirical Industries forcefield generators, and some magical boundaries ensure the safety of Sanctuary. An emergency Portal to Deius Castle is also built and in use in the Medic Facility for medical emergencies. The denizens of Sanctuary also have a small ad-hoc militia for emergency situations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, most races are completely welcomed in Sanctuary but there is one potent exception: Shen'ihr. For personal reasons (demonic husband, children, strong sense of magicality) Chadisekhar loathes the psionic race, and will lash out to protect her family, and her friends. Initially speaking, Chadisekhar created Sanctuary during the Chorus invasion to keep the Shen'ihr out. This is not to say that there are notices everywhere in Sanctuary that proclaim death and dismemberment to all Shen'ihr who enter Sanctuary's borders, but if a character were to be discovered as Shen'ihr, they would find a very unpleasant response from the Dance Magess who calls Sanctuary home.

Points of Interest

Outdoor Gardens: Extensive outdoor gardens surround Sanctuary, and the lake, with various forested glades mixed with small meadows, and hammocks spread across some trees. Perfect for the claustrophobic power wielder who doesn't like spending time indoors.

Waterfall Lake: The waterfall starts up at the very top of the building's interior, growing to a full fledged waterfall that spills into a man made river outside to the lake. The lake is free for swimming, or lounging around in, and many of the ponds or offshoots have fish swimming within.

Cafe/Bar: Aside from the semi-private open outdoor kitchen area, the cafe serves meals for those who don't want to cook their own. It also has a fully licensed bar for the more adult crowd.

Dining Hall: A 300 seat dining hall is used for the majority of seating space, and can be turned into convention space, with groupings of more private 20 seat dining rooms taking up the side wall.

Kitchen: A more substantial kitchen connects to the Dining Hall for those who wish to cook for themselves. It includes a pantry with vast stores of food, to match the vast appetites of power wielders.

Spa: The place for tired, wound up power wielders to unwind, the Spa offers everything from wraps to massages, hair cuts to pedicures to soothe and renew the spirit within.

Training Center: Complete with gravitic weights, the main area of the Training Center includes a tropics-inspired sparring area complete with animals. Off on the sides of the sparring arenas, is a Martial Arts studio, and on the other, two yoga studios, that can double as any type of private, or aerobic training. The Training Center connects with the Medic Facility.

Medic Facility: Connected to the Training Center, the Medic Facility is run by mortal attendants, and any power wielder with healing capabilities that is in residence. A limited access Portal to Deius Castle has been installed into the Medic Facility's south wall.

Boarding/Renting Rooms & Apartments: Two types of rooms are found in Sanctuary: permanent apartment-style boarding rooms, and hotel-like rooms for shorter stays.

Meditation/Magic Center: Akin to a library, the meditation center is a quiet place in which people can relax in quiet meditation.

Outdoor Movie Theatre: Given to Chadisekhar for Sanctuary by Toshiro Hedgehog, the movie theatre plays all the oldies and goodies, complete with popcorn and goodies from the kitchen, it makes a perfect respite and escape.

Portal Station: A portal has been constructed to link Sanctuary with Deius Castle. The Portal only works between those two places, and requires Chadisekhar or Alothin's express permission to use. In case of medical emergency, the portal can be used to transfer the patients to Aethaen D'Argente and the rest of the Deius Infirmary staff, or vise versa. The portal is located on the Medic Facility far wall.

Location / Regional & Building Description

On the outskirts of Central City, Sanctuary is located in the middle of a massive area of forested, and maintained garden grounds. A man-made lake surrounds the east side of the building, and the water seems to come from inside the structure. (Know Balamb Garden from FF VIII? Yep. There you go.)

It now lies close to the Saiyan Embassy.
