      |  The Great Sundering of the Clans was a time of chaos and       |
      |  disillusionment for the inhabitants of the Realms. Many of the |
      |  homes of the great Clans were left in ruins, never to be       |
      |  revisited by their heroes again. However, from those ruins     |
      |  arose the Guardian Brothers Marduk and Marruka, who salvaged   |
      |  the magicks of the Arcanes and stole away to a secret location |
      |  far from prying eyes. There, surrounded by a giant forest made |
      |  larger than life by the powerful magicks of the Guardians, the |
      |  Brothers rebuilt the Castle. Legend holds that the bricks and  |
      |  mortar of the Castle, known today as the Sanctum of Arcanes,   |
      |  were imbued with the strong magicks of the Guardians as a      |
      |  protection for the Order against attack or ruin.               |
