SANCTUARY MASTER POST

•SANCTUARY•
Sanctuary is located south of Bavan and is bisected by the main road, leaving no way to pass it other than diverting the path or flying over it. It was established during the month of August by Handsome Jack via Tikbalang, and is home to both monsters and humans alike. Handsome Jack is the residing mayor of the town, though he will always remind anyone who asks that mayors are elected and that he prefers other titles (such as "monarch", "king", or "CEO"). The town is constantly guarded by Nisha Kadam's crew of Rough Riders, as well as Nisha herself.

Sanctuary is what its name implies: a safe haven that offers protection from prowling monsters or crazed Night God cultists...or so everyone will tell you. The reality is that Sanctuary is a business operation behind the curtains. Humans seem to move in on their own and rarely as families, though an occasional family may find their way there. Currently, the town is largely under construction with help from the locals and a few contracted monsters in exchange for reduced rent. It is currently receiving a paint job as well as an overall facelift in architecture.

The fashion in Sanctuary is different from the rest of Ryslig and is closer to more modern steampunk than the other two major towns, influenced by Handsome Jack himself. No human appears out of place or at a different poverty level than any other human or family. It gives the appearance of a dress code, though its not specifically stated in the laws. Its heavily implied that there is a certain expectation that people living there are required to maintain. The people in charge might not scold you, but you'll definitely get some looks from the locals if you aren't dressed in the Latest in Sanctuary Fashion.

No human in town ever appears unhappy when they are talking about Sanctuary...unless you happen to be insulting their great ruler in front of them. Any human that overhears someone talking poorly about Handsome Jack and/or his associates will get scowled at or find the humans hastily attempting to get away as fast as possible Not that that's out of the ordinary or anything. After all, he does so much for them! Right?

Better not ask too many questions.
•LAW AND ORDER•
Crime and punishment is something taken very seriously in the town of Sanctuary. Though most humans can recite the list of laws off the top of their head, there is a parchment posted in front of Town Hall displaying all the expectations of those living in Sanctuary. They are as follows:

1. No littering
2. No stealing
3. No dogs
4. Respect property boundaries: if it ain't yours, don't go in.
5. No eating the locals: anyone that does gets shot on sight. Till dead. Then evicted.*

All laws are generally subject to jail time in Sanctuary's personal jail, overseen by acting sheriff, Nisha Kadam. If the crime is a repeat offense or severe enough (such as killing part of Sanctuary's human population), the crime may be subject to death. If there is a star next to the law above and your character is in danger of breaking said law, please speak Kay or Avali before proceeding as it could result in severe IC consequences.
•TENANTS AND BUSINESSES•
Under construction.
•STATISTICS•
The population of Sanctuary will never have a greater monster population than human. Jack attempts to maintain an even split between both monster and human, but humans will always outnumber monsters. The cost of rent will start near $600 a month, unless there is a negotiated discount between Jack and the monster in question. Jack will start to offer less discounts as the town fills up, and rent will raise after the first few months of living there.

The reason for this is that Sanctuary was actually created with the purpose of being a cultist town that worships Handsome Jack, and humans are more susceptible to demonic manipulation than other monsters are. The more a character has to offer Jack in terms of talent or the closer they are to him, the more likely they will be able to stay in Sanctuary unbothered and without rent increases.
