Overview
The tribes of Sanctum live among mountain ranges and green plains beneath the authority of the White Templars. Their strongest aspirants may be taken to Holdfast, the Chapter’s fortress-monastery. Those who remain have to make their lives in the country the selected few will one day be expected to defend.
During the Fourth Tyrannic War, Sanctum’s designation as an Anchor World places that home within a much larger defensive plan. The fighting draws on its position as well as its warriors. Records disagree over whether its Formidyre System lies in Solar or Pacificus; the approximate chart position preserves that uncertainty.
