Sanctuary

A dodecahedrane building on an isolated island in the gem sea. Whilst it lay mostly undiscovered till the Fey age, it was found to be how people survived the first cycle of destruction. Giving more context to the Cry of Destruction. Built of granite and carved into the ground the building is an impressive size able to shelter around a thousand people. The inside is large with a spiral staircase leading to the ground floor. On each wall as you travel round is the story of each seal, with reliefs of each time it was broken or saved. A statue of the first to break that seal opposite, with a small shrine to The wanderer at the bottom. At the entrance is a statue of six primordial warriors. The bottom of the star case is a large room with a fire pit in the middle.
