Sanction

Having the only port in the neighboring, Sanction soon became the most important city in the area. Ariakas took advantage of the mercenaries that traveled the city to begin building the Dragonarmies. The city was taken over just before the beginning of the War of the Lance. The Dragonarmies built a Keep, but could not finish it in time, which allowed the Knights of Solamnia to mount a successful attack which dispelled the armies from the area.

After the War of the Lance, the Knights of Solmania took over the Keep and began repairing it. Hogan Bight, a dragon in disguise, became the lord governor of the city, and successfully rebuilt the city. He also protected Sanction from lava flows from the Lords of Doom, the active volcanoes that surround Sanction. Also, he protected the city during the Chaos War. However, the city fell once again against the Knights of Neraka during the War of Souls, lead by Mina. Mina took the Temple of Duerghast as her own temple for the "One God", more commonly known as Takhsis.

At the end of the War of Souls, a conclave of the gods was held in the Temple of the One God, in which Takhisis lost her immortal status. This was caused by Paladine also giving up his immortal status, so Takhsis and Paladine both became mortal. Takhsis was subsequently killed by Silvanoshei.
