The Sanctuary of Amber is a monastery built for use by the Order of the Bounded Star and Anchor, situated in the Forbidden Zone of Shabar. The structure itself is suspended amongst several stone "needles" that characterize this strange region, and is of unknown age or means of construction. It is believed that the structure is actually built upon a "natural" formation (possibly a relic of the Sifras). The Sanctuary of Amber is noteworthy for its central chamber, in which it is believed that certain well-tuned minds may, from time to time, receive visions of possible futures -- particularly disasters to be hopefully averted with the warning given. On Ring Day, 6103 RTR, Shabar declared its independence from Rephidim, having formerly been a protectorate. Thus, the Sanctuary of Amber (also known as just "Amber") is recognized as the capitol of Shabar.
