One brings shadow, one brings light, To this riddle all souls are tied
Located directly at the heart of the northern crater of the
Brink Lands, the Black Sanctum served as the main base of operations for
The Followers of Nex.
The area surrounding the northern crater is lined with jagged ice and rocks; ancient shrapnel leftover from when Nex fell and created the impact site at the end of
The Cataclysm. The sanctum itself, a dark iron fortress surrounded by a freezing lake, is easily defensible; a lone bridge leads up to the front gate, and a docking area for open sea ships resides at the rear. The area of the crater feels wrong; as if the land itself has been twisted by dark power. Reality itself seems to be warped at certain intervals; schools of magic not functioning as they should.
Within the Sanctum's dark halls, many of the acolytes wishing to join the Followers had to undergo a 'Trial by Fire'; a series of challenges meant for Followers to prove their commitment, or grant an audience with the Dark Council.
