Sisanctum

Not many sources remain from before the Arrival, partly because the sources that do exist would be in another dimension (see Dimension A-2011) and partly because written sources before 100AA are mostly limited to inscriptions on stone surfaces. What we do vaguely know however, is what the city of Sisanctum looked like. We know of several buildings and we know the general purpose they served. In addition, due to the architectural traditions of New Sisanctum, we can sketch an image of what original Sisanctan architecture looked like. Generally, buildings were made out of stonebrick walls with oak wooden roofs.

We also know that Sisanctum was located on the coastline of a spruce forest, with the sea to the north. It was considered a peaceful town. Sisanctum was led by two leaders, tendriesjens and Thuurke. Sisanctum was destroyed after it was raided by a faction known as Legends. They used flight technology to bombard the town with lave, forcing the population to flee Aesir and look for a new life in Dimension S-2012.

## Confirmed buildings

### The Holy Mushroom

The Holy Mushroom was a giant red mushroom which sat at the coastline on a wooden platform. The Holy Mushroom was the object of worship. At some point before the war with Legends, the Holy Mushroom was destroyed by an unknown culprit. A new worship of the Holy Mushroom later continued in New Sisanctum.

### The Spleef Arena

The Spleef Arena was a stonebrick circular building used for the ancient sport known as Spleef. In the middle of the arena the ground was made of grass, to be dug out by the contestants. Glass walls separated the arena from the spectator area which was elevated so that spectators could easily look onto the playing field.

### The Castle

Not much is known about the castle, other than that it was a large stone building which sat at the centre of Sisanctum.

### Henricus' House

Not much is known about the house of Henricus, who went rogue on New Sisanctum and was defeated by Consuls Christian and Siberius. We can guess that it looked like the other houses and was built out of stonebrick with an oak wood roof.

### Christian's House/Bank

We know a little bit more about Christian's house, which was also a bank, thanks to the royal historical records of New Sisanctum. Christian's house was made of stonebrick and had an oak roof. Above his front door, there was a small roof with the following inscription:

"Chris' house - Normal member - ook farmer en mijner - bank voor iedereen zijn edelmetalen"

Which translates into: "Christian's house - Normal member - also farmer and miner - bank for everyone's precious metals"

On both sides of his double door, there was a jack o' lantern providing light. Inside, the floor was made of oak wood and the ceiling of stonebrick. Christian had some bookshelves and some furnaces.

### Kevinius' House

We know little of Kevinius' house other than that it sat next to Christian's house and opposite of Siberius' library.

### Siberius' Library

Siberius, who later became one of the two co-consuls in New Sisanctum and who founded Hadespoort, owned a library in Sisanctum. The library probably contained a vast amount of knowledge about Aesir, all of which was lost when Legends poured lava over the building and set it on fire.
