The Crimson Sanctum was originally a college-based group from Azusa Pacific University, but has since moved to La Canada and is primarily frequented by people from the local high school. The creation of this chapter was largely thanks the efforts [[Lalailom]] and her husband [[Abernon Nole]]. The chapter flurished in La Canada under the careful eyes of [[Lord]] [[Shadowraith]] and [[Thorin Njalsson]] who were high school students at the time. The Crimson Sanctum has successfully petitioned [[Dragonspine]] and joined [[Westmarch]] as a sponsored land.
 
  
In July 2008, the chapter's founders Lalailom and Abernon Nole departed for other lands.

In August 2008, Crimson Sanctum hosted their first major event, [[Northern Invasion]].  During this epic conflict, the shire -- with the aid of their southern allies [[Siar Geata]] -- fought and defeated the Westmarch core lands in a castle-style battle.

A defunct Shire of Westmarch. It has since been replaced by Sunfire Valley


History

The story of Crimson Sanctum began in August 2004, when Lalailom Risteska and Anberon Nole (both college students at Azusa Pacific University; see right) took up residence in Azusa, California. Activity that first semester was low key, limited to small-scale sparring on the college’s Trinity Lawn by the new group’s scarce equipment.

Lalailom and Anberon, the founders of the chapter. Lalailom originally played in Cage Valley of Walla Walla, Washington; Anberon was a new player. In Lalailom’s own words, “Pretty much I was the one with the knowledge and he was the one with the motivation.”
The chapter’s revised heraldry. The red background and white sword kept their original meanings. The new dragons symbolize the affiliation with Dragonspine, and the new rooks symbolize the affiliation with Westmarch. The leaves on the bottom just look pretty.

In 2014, the park is once again up to respectable shire numbers ranging from 5-10. Sir Downfall, Prednjak, and Novac have been attempting to breathe new life into his chapter and bring it back to it's former glory, if not surpass it.
