The Sanctuary Charter

"So the world might know of greatness in peace and study."

 

 

The Township of Sanctuary, as it is presently dubbed, is a settlement forged primarily by those fleeing a tyrannical Haelun'or. Though some view our town as a schism of high elves as a result of this, those who do misunderstand the goal of our settlement. On the contrary, we are a settlement founded upon two principles, neither of which are contingent on high elven lineage. It is our belief that any race can practice scholarship and peace, the values which define us, and thus deeming us a high elven settlement is a farce.

 

Scholarship, the first guiding tenant of our Sanctuary, is of great importance. Perhaps influenced in part by the roots of Sanctuary's founding members, it is our belief that research and study can be utilized to resolve most of life's problems. Though most of Sanctuary's residents are mages, specializing in magical scholarship, this is not the beginning and end of this tenant. All scholars, researchers, students and other learned individuals are welcome to share their knowledge or endeavor themselves to gather more. Progress is only achieved by those who work for it, and Sanctuary values those who prove themselves aggressively industrious in its goals.

 

Peace, the second guiding tenant of our Sanctuary, is undeniably necessary in order to maintain pursuit of the first. The implications of Sanctuary's name demand its citizens to support one another, disagree amicably and not come to arms. It is for this value of peace that Sanctuary holds no creed or faith higher than another; whether you practice purity, Canonism, or nothing at all, you shall not face harassment if you maintain the peace. It is also for this reason that politicking is avoided, discounting elections for rule by an absolute Prince. Serving as absolute ruler of Sanctuary, he can focus on governance rather than politics, and avoid the violence and slander that come along with such a practice. However, peace does come at the cost of a willingness to defend it, and thus does not preclude Sanctuary from requesting arms in its defense.

 

Sanctuary seeks to exist as an independent settlement, deigning to force itself into the affairs of those beyond its borders. To those outside, if you maintain good terms with us, we shall ensure that you benefit from your friendship. To those who seek to bother us, we advise you reconsider your desire for bloodshed. And finally, to those who wish to join us, we welcome you into our Sanctuary with open arms.

 

May your time in Sanctuary be one of learning and peace.

Sanctuary

 

"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding."

 

The township of Sanctuary was founded by Laethis Izalith, alongside Delonna and Vallel’Yuln Aeléyèlsa, Orsino Acal’elor and Irhamir Siil’crux, after fleeing the tyrannical rule of the despot Taeleh, in the year 1541 based on the two principles of forgotten aheral values; peace and progress. For this purpose they were granted land on an island previously settled by the Aeléyèlsa family, with the blessings to build a new home which the family would later go on to provide. While the city is filled with many high elves, it is welcome to all races, as progress is blind to one’s race. It welcomes all those curious, and those who wish to live in peace in this war-riddled world. This is our home. This is our Sanctuary.

 

The government of Sanctuary consists of two parts, the Elevated Bloodlines and the Ministry. The Elevated Bloodlines represent the higher powers of Sanctuary, entrusted because of their diligence and dedication to lead Sanctuary. The Ministry represents the civil servants of Sanctuary, charged with the duty to safeguard and maintain the city from all those that would threaten disorder.

 

The Elevated Bloodlines

 

The elevated bloodlines serve as a guiding force for Sanctuary. Having ascended through the diligence and dedication to progress and peace they have shown throughout their lives, the bloodlines of the founding members of Sanctuary have been elevated. Elevation comes with authority throughout Sanctuary, as well as a seat on the governing council. The expectation is that those elevated shall contribute more, alongside their added privileges and responsibilities.

 

Each bloodline is led by a patriarch or matriarch, who serves as a leader for their bloodline, as well as the representative to the Council. They are also responsible for maintaining an adequate roster of those within their bloodline, and approving those joining their bloodline through marriage or adoption. Once one is incorporated into the bloodline, they are allowed to persist so long as the patriarch or matriarch allows it, even if their spouse is deceased or they are otherwise separated. All members of the Elevated Bloodlines are to be addressed by their proper title. Succession within the bloodlines is selected by the patriarch or matriarch, listed in their will, or abdicated by choice.

 

The Princely Bloodline is the highest of the bloodlines. Through this rests the Monarch of Sanctuary, and its ultimate authority. Each of its members is to be referred to as Prince or Princess, with the highest respect going to the Patriarch and sovereign.
