Sanctuary Point

Sanctuary Point (Gaeguiq: Saljwimunt, sar-LOO-wee-munt; Injitikst: Chu-mak-siklijt, choo-MARK-sik-LEET) is a city in Commolacia, and the state capital of Norfolk. With a population of 1,450,687, accounting for 71.15% of Norfolk's population. Sanctuary Point was started in 1825 by St. Geltan convicts who escaped from workcamps in the province of Darling. The town quickly grew, becoming a farming and fishing settlement within years. It's discovery by the Commolacian government in 1837 in a survey of the whole country cemented the town's place in Commolacia. Today, Sanctuary Point is a major agricultural and commercial fishing hub, with over 60% of the town working in some form of the food industry.
Sanctuary Point was built atop what archaeological research has shown to be a former tribal capital. The Injitikst peoples, the native tribes of Norfolk, named the town "Chu-mak-siklijt", meaning "town of glory". Chu-mak-siklijt was invaded by the Gaeguiq in the 11th century, renaming the town in the Gaeguiq language to "Saljwimunt". The site was destroyed and later abandoned in 1633 following the eruption of Mt. Jonquille. It is speculated that the arrival of the convicts on the exact spot of the camp was a mere coincidence.
Sanctuary Point is served by the Norfolk East line of the CNR. It contains only one airport, Ulrich Fox Norfolk Airport (UFN), which serves the entire province. Ferry services to and from Sanctuary Point are offered for Darling, New Forest, Sussex, and Norfolk West.
