History
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.
