'Sanctuary' is a town located in the Sky Kingdom. It is currently
occupied and being constructed by the Talons of Peace, and it is also
occupied by several hybrids and humans.

## Description

Sanctuary is built along a cold stream trickling downhill from a lake in
the foothills of the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, beside a very small,
cold lake. Each home looks completely different from the next, and
Sanctuary's architecture includes a mound of clay with a hole in the
roof, a rough cabin made of logs and leaves, and two structures by the
lake that are half-submerged in water. It is surrounded by bushes and
trees that smell like damp leaves and pine needles. There is a huge
boulder half-covered in poison ivy within the forest, and a smooth,
cold, tall, flat boulder in the shade of the trees. The air smells like
scavengers, pine trees, and distant snow. It is full of scuttling
noises.

Halfway up one of the surrounding mountain peaks, there is a pebbly
cave. Sanctuary is punctuated by sounds of incessant chatter, leaves
rustling, and wind whipping around the snowcaps of the mountains.
However, the cave is very quiet.

Not far from the lake's edge, in an area cleared of trees, there is an
odd corner: a space surrounded by a very tall fence, which is composed
of tree trunks lashed together. Inside, there is a Dragons|dragon-made
pool of water and a pile of leaves and pine needles with a small leaf
canopy covering it.

## History

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Darkness of Dragons

In the epilogue, Winter was seen observing scavengers after leaving Jade
Mountain Academy, but Kinkajou scared them off. She offered to help
Winter find them, as her RainWing scales would likely come in handy. He
talked about how he was trying to build a sanctuary for scavengers, and
Riptide got the idea for the name of the town when Winter suggested
this.

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Dangerous Gift

Sanctuary appeared as the site where Snowfall and other queens of
Pyrrhia discuss Pantala's existence. It is also where Crystal decided to
stay after Glacier died so she can reunite with her love interest,
Gharial. Many LeafWings and SilkWings, as well as Bumblebee, resided
there.
