The *Barony of Sanctuario De Gatos* resides within the Duchy of Coldwake in the County of Wailing Cat, just offshore of the mainland, dedicated to the care and feeding of cats of all shapes and sizes.

## Culture

The people of the Barony of Sanctuario De Gatos keep to themselves. They often find themselves helping stray cats that mysteriously find their way to the island. There is some magical inclination among the denizens that stay here. To outsiders, it takes them a while to warm up. Only a few people within the town aids travelers as they pass through the island port. Those individuals mostly work within the veterinary or hospitality field.

Historically, the people lead a vote on a Mayor to represent them. The previous Baroness, Moxie Impfang agrees with this sentiment, as she represents their needs within the greater Kingdom of Stormwind while the Mayor represent their needs locally. With the Gnome disagreeing with the ideals of nobility she opted to just let the democratically elected Mayor run things. This will allow the current Overlord to redistribute the land.

### Religious Beliefs

Most residents keep their beliefs to themselves and may be superstitious. They feel that they would much rather keep those beliefs private to better support their community and focus on their mission.

### Local Holidays

On October 1st of each year, it is "Leadership Appreciation Day". This day identifies the appreciation of the various leaders that are amongst the barony's community, not just their Mayor and Baroness.

On February 6th of each year, it is "Bonding Day". This is a day where the shelter and local community work together to bring various animals so they can bond with their new person, for the most part the animals included are cats. It is also known as companion appreciation day.

On March 10th of each year, it is "Renewal Day". This is a day where the local community recalls and celebrates those who have passed on. The people believe that March is the beginning for spiritual renewal for the animals that call the island its final home.
