Sunspiders

Shortly after the Twin Cataclysms, a group of interplanar travelers united against the constant stream of tyrants who wished to claim the Wavering Expanse. This group, the Sunspiders, seized control of the Wavering Expanse on behalf of humanoids. Freedom and toleration formed the foundation of their grasp. Refugees from all over the world rallied behind their banner. Many monks flocked to the realm of freedom that the Sunspiders provided. They presented themselves as the Sunspider Protectorate, guardians of the Proclamation.

At the peak of their influence the Sunspiders commissioned archmage Octavrilo Grandiosa to build a roadhouse to ensure the comfort and safety of their kind. Grandiosa died in the process of completing Octavar Sanctum.

The walls of the roadhouse are immune to damage and magical penetration. Limitless stairs lead to an infinite number of guest chambers. For comfort, an unlimited supply of food provides a generous feast on any day. Sanctumborn, pregnant women and a restricted number of invitees may gain entrance. House rules are enforced by Octavar, the simulacrum of Grandiosa.

When the Sunspiders fell apart, the Sunspider Protectorate remained strong for many ages. They constructed the grand legacy of Octavar Sanctum by performing heroic deeds and making foreign kingdoms do their bidding.
