Secret Sanctuary

This is an underground Travelling Flag directly north of Crossroads and southwest of the Last Watch, the flag is placed directly beneath the centre of the Farm.

Several entrances to the underground catacombs leading to the Flag are are on the surface, marked with broken Quartz arches and pillars, one entrance is also hidden in the Mill. The inner structure are narrow winding corridors which are usually unlit and therefore crawling with hostile mobs in addition to enemy players. Most of the doors are made out of iron and require to push a button to let a visitor through, some of them lacking a button on the other side, making them a one-way door only. There are several rooms styled as libraries, bunk bedrooms or ritual sites with loot in chests. There are also a plenty of dead ends and it is very easy to get lost.

Lore

The Secret Sanctuary, according to the surviving rumours, predates Cithare itself, some claim that it is older than all human life and was the seat of the Other. Though who were the Other these rumours do not specify. It certainly is a place of magic of challenged ethics performed by the residing Order of Sucrase Heq, although the rituals have caused the land above to be incredibly fertile. The miller himself had carved the secret entrance from his mill and joined the secretive order and eventually ascended as its head.

The Order has mysteriously disappeared, which has been noted only because flour has suddenly become scarce.

Tips

Torches or Night-vision help to navigate the area. Exploring beyond the main hall can yield useful loot. If you do not trust your navigation skills, with the help of a Bucket of Water you can dive into the main hall straight from above from the field.
