Founded in 1721 by a joint Camarilla-Sabbat partnership, made up of individuals fed up with the war between the two factions, Sanctuary grew up on the borders of northern West Virginia, southwestern Pennsylvania, and western Maryland.  The basic requirement and rules of the city were that nearly anything goes.  The only exception is that the violence between factions not get out of hand.  Over time, Magi, Changing Breeds, and Changlings gravitated toward the city to rest from the all consuming battles between their kinds.  The two founders of the city ultimately became the Camarilla Prince and Sabbat Archbishop of Sanctuary, they hold these positions to this day.<br/><br/>Does this mean that all the species and factions get along with each other?  No.  Not by a long shot.  But, at least the amount of blood flowing in the streets is minimized.  Occasional fights break out, key leaders try to assassinate other leaders, and politics run rampant.  The relative truce remains, however.  The in-fighting continues, in a sort of cold war situation.  Somehow, outsiders in all of the factions have remained ignorant of the purpose of the city, to date.  Should they discover what is really going on, though, the proverbial fan’ll be working overtime.<br/><br/>(This is a WoD game, character sheets preferred, but not required.  Think of Sanctuary as a Casablanca for supernaturals.)
