The Sanctuary was a very unique base on 2b2t it was started by Tangoooooooo. What makes this base unique was the variety of the players that based there and how close it was to spawn and the fact that it survived so long with multiple world downloads, coordinate exploits, and so on.

Foundation
The Sanctuary was founded on March 5th, 2020 by Tangoooooooo for the New Facepunch Republic but it wasn't called that though, at the time it was called Salvation Outpost. It started off as a simple spawn base that could be used to group members if they needed a place to stay and re-gear near spawn. It would lay mostly dormant receiving the occasional group member visiting such as OMEGAO000 and Darth08. It serve as a New Facepunch Republic base until the group disbanded in November of 2021. After the group disbanded progress on the base began to increase exponentially. Players such as xcc2 and OverFloyd would be invited followed by Jeffrey_214 & Thrashin, and not long after Joey_Coconut, digandbuilder, and D_loaded it would become a base where players from all across the server with varying personalities could come together and build without any drama.

Construction
Tangoooooooo did most of the building constructing the main structure, walls, animal pens, railway system, underwater snow globe, Emperium Embassy, Mini replica of Fiskie's Tower, and the nearby Ice Town. Darh08 created the Aria Pyramid, ravine city, and a floating Island. xcc2 created the Arch Park, Egg farm, maparts, and the base banner. OverFloyd built an auto-fish farm with banners and a tree farm. Joey_Coconut built his signature giant mushroom build. D_loaded built his Applewood Tavern on the side of the base.

Grief
The Base suffered its first grief by The_Grand_Lotus on February 4th, 2022 he mainly used end crystals and withers so the damage was mostly contained. The base was rebuilt not long after by Tangoooooooo, Jeffrey_214, and Thrashin. The Next grief would come almost 1 year later on February 2nd, 2023 by the player WinterCast due to some civil drama with the Backstreet Boys. However the damage was minimal much like the previous grief so xcc2 & Tangoooooooo repaired the base once again. A week later on the 9th of February the base is griefed again by Wintercast who completely demolished the base with TNT and withers. The damage was to great. Tangoooooooo decided it wasn't worth rebuilding for a 3rd time and the group abandon the base. Tangoooooooo would stay at the ungriefed sections of the base such as the Ice Town section until March 8th, 2022 before abandoning it.
