A sanctum is more than brick and mortar, flesh and blood. The Shadow Realm surrounds it, enabling creatures unseen to lurk in spaces outside the world we know. Unless these spirits have the strength to Materialize across the Gauntlet inside the sanctum or the ability to peer at its inhabitants, the Shadow Realm is of little consequence to mages unconcerned with shamanic magic.

A sanctum out in the wilderness might be Strength 2. The Storyteller determines the beginning Gauntlet Strength based on the sanctum’s location. This Strength can be modified up or down by buying Merit dots.
