Shadow Kind Sanctuary Settlement in Urban Arcana | World Anvil

Shadow Kind Sanctuary

As part of the Shadow Pact, the Shadow Alliance was allocated land to use as a safe haven for those Shadow Kind who could not or would not intergrate safely into Mundane society. Discovery Park, Seattle's largest green space, was converted into this sanctuary. While the Shadow Kind are within the confines of this park's walls, they are governed solely by the rules of the Shadow Kind.

Demographics

Those Shadow Kind who could not or would not intergrate safely into Mundane society. Most living here are of the evil or chaotic alignments or are unaligned wild creatures. They are those that would rather have nothing to do with the Mundane or are incapable of seeing it as anything different then the place they came from. Those of the Shadow Kind Alliance have come to view these Shadow Kind as being feral and unmanable. They have taken on the stigma and fear that all Shadow Kind once carried.

Government

The only rule that governs this place is that those within the Sanctuary cannot leave it. The Shadow Kind Alliance allows anyone to enter the place if they choose to do so, but any who try to leave it are killed on sight as they are considered to be unfit for the Mundane Realm. For those who wish to engage in offical business such as research, census tracking or such there are permits that must be signed by the Shadow Board and given to the guards before entering. This has also become a prison for those Shadow Kind who have failed to live up to the Shadow Pact laws but have not been deemed to deserve the death penalty. That being said, many who enter the sanctuary fall victim to those already contained within the walls and thus it has come to be considered an elobrate method for the death penalty by some.

Defences

A large wall has been built around the sanctuary. Magical barriers have also been put into place that serve as a physical barrier in the shape of a sphere as well as acting to supress the ability to cross the barrier by magical means. There is only a single way into or out of the sanctuary and that is by the gate.

Natural Resources

There are limited resources in the sanctuary and it quickly became over crowded. This has led to less than ideal living conditions within the Sanctuary. There are haphazrd attempts to grow crops and to build small communities, but the more violent Shadow Kind often end those efforts before real results are made. Because of these conditions, many die from the lack or resources and many others are consumed to keep those living there fed.
