The Sanctuary
From SpiralKnights
The Sanctuary is a tranquil area of the Shadow Lairs, that is entered from the Unknown Passage. It has been called "a calm in the storm" and "a fleeting dream, beyond the grasp of The Swarm". There are three points of interest: a Shadow Material, the Sanctuary Alchemy Machine, and an Echo Stone.
The Sanctuary could be speculated to be within the Core if it is considered from the viewpoint of Shadow Lair: Firestorm Citadel. Starting from D23's entrance and reaching the expected D28, the party goes down to D29 (Unknown Passage) and then down to the Sanctuary which can be considered D30 - after which, the party travels up the elevator to D29 where the Terminal appears.
Shadow Material
Upon entering the Sanctuary, one immediately has the opportunity to pick up a 5-star Shadow Material, based on the Shadow Lair just completed:
Nightmare Mane after the Rabid Snarbolax Shadow Lair
Celestial Ore after the Ice Queen Shadow Lair
Gremlonium after the Red Roarmulus Twins Shadow Lair
Maiden's Tear after the Darkfire Vanaduke Shadow Lair
Alchemy Machine
The Sanctuary Alchemy Machine is an alchemy station, akin to the Krogmo Alchemy Machine. It allows you to craft preset armor pieces, which can be made only at the machine. Crafting via the machine requires the materials and precursor for each item, in addition to the usual 5,000 crowns and 3 Eternal Orb of Alchemy.

Echo Stone
The final point of interest in the Sanctuary is a pillar of light that explains some of the backstory of the Shadow Lairs and the Swarm. The backstory presented depends on which Shadow Lair was just completed. Each party member acquires an Echo Stone artifact, that contains a permanent record of this backstory.
