The Sanctum[1] is a shrine located south of Rimuldar in southeastern Alefgard.
Appearances
Dragon Quest
An old man lives in the shrine who demands the Hero show him proof of his relation to Erdrick. After being shown the Mark of Erdrick, the man offers to combine the Sunstone and the Staff of Rain to create the Rainbow Drop. Without the token, he ejects the Hero from the shrine.

Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake
The map asset from Dragon Quest III HD is reused once again. The only notable difference in this version of the game is that the Scions of Erdrick will notice the inscription written in the helm upon obtaining it:
"May victory smile upon you, Great Hero of Aliahan"

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
The shrine is again the location to acquire the Rainbow Drop, and again requires both the Sunstone and the Staff of Rain to create the Rainbow Drop. However, the Sacred amulet – what would later become the Emblem of Erdrick – is not required this time for the old wizard to create the technicolour bauble.
