Sanctum

Sanctum was a loose confederation of many alliances and bases that all get along with one another, and formerly a faction with a centralized base. The faction got officially dissolved on January 30th, though the faction had largely gone inactive after the grief of The Plantation. It was an important stepping stone faction though and many of it's members would go on to accomplish many things on the server.

Old Sanctum
Sanctum was first born after PurpleMyName and JuJusGood met and soon after based together in a desert village on November 30th. They would continue to play as a duo without a name until they made a trade of 1 dead bush for 1 elytra with _Scubas_. After Scubas saw Purple's legendary business skills he was begging him to come to his base. So on December 7th, 2020, Purple and JuJu moved in with _Scubas_ and ConumerOfCheese, officially marking the founding of Sanctum.

After this, more members would be let in such as Historio and Yuki_Here, the former of the two was about to base with _Scubas_ just before Sanctum was founded. On December 12th, their base was found by Topazh, though he was for the most part a friendly guest. Despite this, they decided to move to a farther away base due to the old base's close proximity to spawn.

Many bases, many times in a row
For the next few weeks Sanctum would follow a trend of making a base, only for it to be griefed by conlos a week or less later. They a few unnamed bases during this time, with the last central Sanctum base being The Plantation, which fell on January 3rd, 2021. All of these bases fell at the hands of 420conlos840, the frequency at which he found the bases and some seemingly odd movements made Sanctum members accuse him of using hacks quite a few times, but he has been cleared by the staff team. Despite the inability to hold on to a base for more to a week Sanctum managed to birth some of the most powerful players in the server. The last central Sanctum base, The Plantation, fell in late December.

Decline
Throughout January Sanctum would go into decline as the faction became less centralized. Around this time Purple resigned as leader, giving it to ConumerOfScubas, though he was mostly focused on his private base Conumerville.

Ex-Sanctum members mostly either moved into Conumerville, Cordis Die, went on their own paths or faded into inactivity.

Dissolution and Legacy
Sanctum was officially dissolved on January 30th, 2021. However the faction had been effectively dead weeks prior to this. Sanctum's legacy continues to live on however. Many of it's former members still play and have gone on to make history through factions like Conumerville and Cordis Die.
