Sanctuary
Sanctuary is a walled and gated city about 20 miles inland of the Sword Coast. It lies upstream of Saltmarsh on the Cygnet River.
The city appears to have roughly 1500 residents, nearly all human. It is the seat of Covenant Colony - a proprietary colony granted to the Harper sect by the King of the Albi. It is ruled by the Harper sect of Pelor worshipers, and dominated by the Courtyard of Fire - the Harpers' religious establishment. The city authorities are very careful not to allow undesirable elements into the city, including natives, and non-humans generally. There is no access to the town at night (though it seems that a hefty bribe to a guard at the gate can gain one access nevertheless). During the day, the authorities will admit visitors, but undesirables will be clearly put on notice that they may stay only at an established inn for one night, and will be duly escorted out by the watch early the next morning.
