Nestled along the Southern California coastline, somewhere between Los Angeles and San Diego, sits the self-governing city of **Blackbarrow.** Home to approximately 1.5 million residents, Blackbarrow has undergone a remarkable transformation beneath the administration of Governor Henry Dawson. Once notorious for its criminal enterprises and political unrest, the city has since become something of a metropolitan success story— welcoming wealthy investors, ambitious entrepreneurs, and newcomers hoping to make something of themselves. However, beneath its carefully maintained reputation, Blackbarrow remains a city divided. Its three sectors separate residents by wealth and social standing, while the opportunities afforded to some remain little more than distant promises to others.

For all its supposed *progress,* Blackbarrow has never quite escaped its past. Criminal organizations continue to operate within the city’s neglected districts, while those occupying its highest offices are not always as respectable as their titles might suggest. Money has a remarkable way of opening doors here, and the right connections can make even the most inconvenient problems disappear. Still, life goes on. Businesses open their doors each morning, families make their runs to school and work— and ordinary people continue building lives amid circumstances they cannot always control.

Whether you’re looking to establish an empire, uncover the city’s secrets, or simply find somewhere to belong— there’s a place for you in Blackbarrow.

Join us!

The City of Sanctum is a 20+ supernatural roleplay set in present-day New York City— where the impossible has always existed just out of sight.

Vampires, fae, werewolves, nephilim— those that hunter them, and humans live beneath the protection of the Veil, moving through the same city while carrying very different ideas of what survival looks like to them.

Sanctum focuses on the tension that grows when old systems begin to strain; and the hidden world starts pressing too closely against the mortal one. At its core, the server is character-driven; with room for political conflict, dangerous relationships, personal rivalries, and the consequences that come when keeping the peace becomes harder than breaking it.

``` ✧:･ﾟ ⇢ WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE OF SINNERS... ✧:･ﾟ ```

2050.

Judgement Day has established the new balance of the universe: all of the Sinners are now forced to stay trapped on Earth, adopting new identities by blending in the new modern society. These Sinners represent the unworthy, the ones who have lost the light of grace and have chosen darkness as their only reign.

They are the Princes, Princesses and the Guardians of Hell, representing the Seven Deadly Sins. And they're not here to bore their eternal existence, but to expand their power and influence over the humans, creatures they consider as highly manipulable and flexible - their nature tending to lead to a vice that will consume and rot them from the inside. They establish Crime Organizations, Gangs, Syndicates and give the humans the freedom to do as they wish, to feed their demonic tendencies.

Yet, they are not alone. From High Above someone sent protectors to save mankind from complete annihilation. They are the Guardians of Good and they are not only angels, but also Archangels and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. They are there to help forming factions that will counterattack the control of the Sinners.

The cities of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami, Seattle and many more are slowly becoming a real battlefield. And you, dear human...

Which side will you be on?
