Sanctum

Sanctum (Euluska: Sanktaöm, Fallonese: Sanghdum) was a huge port city state on the northern edge of the Fallo's coast. It was a bustling merchant city full of trade, one of the three largest ports on the west coast (the others being Halcyon and Charteyn).
Its name came from the Euluska word Sankta, meaning 'angel' or 'saint'. Literally, its name meant "Town of Saints".
It was large and sprawling, with extensive canals and waterways, beautiful art and buildings, and the most interesting people and cuisine. It was guarded by the Sanctum Collegium, a conglomerate of mages trained at its magic university, one of the main magic institutions of The Fallo. 
The city was founded by the Lusken Empire in the second or third century during the Beilsa Afalla (Coastal Campaign), and remained a capital of the empire until its fall. After 1519, Sanctum became a self governing city state that held ward over the local towns, exerting influence as far south as Treviso and Abavale, and as far north as the Nethir/Fallonese border.
