[[Image:Sanctuary World Map.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[World Map]] of Sanctuary.]]'''Sanctuary''' is the name of the [[physical realm ]] of man in the Diablo Universe. It is not the only realm, but it it the world in which the [[Diablo games game]]s take place.  ==Magic in Sanctuary==Sanctuary is located on the [[Physical plane]] of the fabric of reality, and intermingling with this is the [[Etheral plane]], as some explain it; located "under" the plane of reality. Certain strong-willed individuals are able to harness the spiritual essence of themselves (called "[[Mana]]") and use it to channel power from the Etheral realm, creating magical effects in the physical one.

For now, the only thing that is known about these is that there is a mutual understanding of languages between the continents, and whether this is due to the fact that people speak multiple languages through their culture, of if there is a "common" language that everyone shares is unknown. Players as well as [[character]]s and [[NPC]]s in the world travel to either site of their globe, and can still communicate with people. Names are more socially inspired though, and country names such as "[[Westmarch]]", and town names such as [[Tristram]], has a clear "Western" reference from our world, as does the architecture. [[Deckard Cain]], is a character name from a person of the west, while "[[Abd al-Hazir]]" is the name of a character from the flourishing East. If everyone shares a "common" language, they still seem to retain their own cultural names. The only known specifically mentioned language is the [[Umbaru]] people's tounge from the [[Teganze]] area of the [[Torajan]] jungles [http://www.diablowiki.net/Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0009]. 

This is a list of known date names and numbers from the Sanctuary Calendar (really the [[Kehjistan]]i calendar), based on journals made by [[Deckard Cain]] and [[Aust|Elder Aust of Harrogath]] in the years 1265-1266, during the war with the [[Prime Evil]]s. From Deckard Cain's notes, it looks like months are about as long as our own world's, and they obviously have both their own month names as well as week day names.
