The Sanctuary of today was a completely different monster than any of its previous forms. The world Damien and Tephit materialized into…was truly a world.
Four continents were separated by a vast and empty sea where life was only beginning to bud. Each of these continents was home to a different biome, each biome home to a different race of people.
The core groups from each clan still lived on the original continent in the center, with the orientation Damien had seen when he came to the Sanctuary to pick up Jiao Mei, but these were only the elite few hundred from each clan.
This was because the main continent had flourished into a mana-filled holy land where comprehending the laws became almost streamlined. Training here would provide extreme benefit to those who did, thus, the five clans decided to leave it for only their elites. The rest would have to earn their spots on the central continent.
