Well someone just kicked their leader out of the picture >.>
Research labs I can picture…assassination classes…might not have that…training halls perhaps, but wouldn’t want the assassin holed up at sanctuary all day. Think we’ll reserve that for the assassin cities and/or private school (depending on location)
Although…what kind of rules are you thinking of…
Can we create a lair of evil? Screams of the tortured are very funny things 
Depends on your definition of Evil 
You can have a torture chamber, although I would hope you weren’t torturing fellows for the fun of it 
But looks are very important! I want my sanctuary to look evil. Heads in spikes and something more maybe?
Sanctuary in the assassins term translates to Home and Shelter…for you. Would you really want to fall asleep at night in a place that reeks of dead bodies and looks cold and damp?
Hehheh, but to answer your question, the sanctuary will start out as well…a dump. Kinda like the sewers. You can leave it like that, even make it worst, but I’m pretty sure your gonna have some issues getting people to want to join you.
But wait o.o If ever someone tried to attack the sanctuary, I’m sure they would probably think it was abandoned or not worth taking.
My sanctuary if someone does happen to find it I want it to look all nice and cosey get the into a false sense of security so they’d be easier to kil… Convince to leave
Are you thinking a sanctuary that looks like a normal shelter or home, like a front?
What kind of things or rooms would you have in your sanctuary?
Speaking of this sanctuary is starting from the ground up. What would you prioritize? Security, Comfort, etc…
Perhaps the sanctuary should start out a a building above ground and allowed to spread down underground to lower levels…or perhaps a cave…perhaps it should all be a choice. Decisions decisions.
I would start the sanctuary in a cave that goes underground with one super inconspicuous hidden entrance a good while away so there are two entrances.(the hidden one will have traps of course)
I would prioritize security to keep the filthy non-assassin plebians out.
I want my sanctuary to be deep dark and sinister and with traps and space for my minions! And i will prioritize security and power the most.
And i want a great hall with my throne in! 
Maybe the outside of my sanctuary can have an illusion spell cast around it to look like a normal building and then have important rooms for stuff and people
Hmmm! This is a good idea but i want to put a spell of fear! Anyone who is not one of my minions will go insane with fear before to entry muahahahahaha!!!
But then brave adventurers trying to test their mettle will keep breaking in.
I don’t mind them, someone will always try to break in.
@faewkless I think we’ll have the MC pay to have the extra exits and even further cost to have the MC have traps and the likes.
Prioritizing security huh. Assassins are still people too, having to live on straw beddings instead of nice cushioned beds can really put a damper on morale. But hey who am I to question the wisdom of a Keeper.
@Hellbringer No doubt rumors are gonna spread about that sanctuary being haunted. I think I’ll be pouring all my funds into the throne room. I wonder if I can get an artist to draw the sanctuary and each upgrade…
@SheaMcD Oy permanent arts are possible…though that can’t be cheap…@Hellbringer your gonna be one beloved leader in no time 
@faewkless So that’s how the idea of adventurers wandering into dungeons started…
Can i have some monsters as guardians?
My sanctuary will be a massive cave tunnel system somewhere in a central locations. It’ll have tons of escape routes, a treasure room or two, maybe ten. Hot springs for relaxing, a huge training room, library, armory, and a teleportation device. Also hidden spells to be able to make it all KABOOMY, when I need to leave in a hurry. I’ll edit when I think of more, by the way, I like how this will tie in.
Maybe I should put the sanctuary on the highest mountain (make it like high hrothgar) then make it comfy as hell with a feast room multiple bedrooms a central room with fire place and a portal to the foot of the mountain thats hidden from sight.
I would have my sanctuary near a town for supply’s, with one entrance disguised as a house and the other an the wood’s. Gotta plan for worst case possible you know,
@Hellbringer Fraid not. That’s among the few things that will actually cause the Mc trouble. The assassins although attempting to spread through a network of underground tunnels, have creatures (call them monsters if you will) that get in the way. Generally the assassins can use them to their advantage as it keeps outsiders out, but its a double edged sword. Although…I’m still thinking how to implement on having non assassin guards without going overboard. Generally there might not be a way to have non assassin guards.
@NoGo A research lab included? That sounds like the perfect sanctuary, oh how I want it. Though I’m sure your security will suffer…I’ll hate to be in a hot tub with The Guardians…
@faewkless I was just thinking of a mountain sanctuary o.o
General Sanctuary Locations: Mountains, Capitol, Caves/Forestry? The three sanctuary locations in consideration. I’ll have to think of pros and cons for each huh… Never know who might com a knockin aye grey.
A Hearth is simply a must have. Speaking of…what kind of decorations do you think should be available?.
