The Sanctuary (Kremaldy)

Location from Re:Zero by Tappei Nagatsuki

A hidden village sealed by a magical barrier that traps anyone with mixed blood — the site of Echidna's tomb and the crucible where Subaru broke himself apart and rebuilt from nothing.

The Sanctuary is a prison disguised as a village. Tucked away in the Mathers Domain, it was once a refuge for demi-humans and half-bloods — people with mixed heritage who had nowhere else in Lugunica's deeply prejudiced society. The barrier surrounding it, created by Echidna the Witch of Greed four centuries ago, prevents anyone with non-human blood from leaving. The half-bloods trapped inside have built lives around their confinement, generation after generation, while Roswaal kept them fed and forgotten. Beneath the village lies Echidna's tomb — the resting place of the Witch of Greed herself, preserved in a pocket dimension where she holds her infamous tea parties with those who enter the trials. The trials themselves test a person's past, present, and future, and they nearly destroyed Subaru's sanity before he cleared them. The Sanctuary is where Subaru faced Elsa's assassination of the mansion residents across multiple loops, where Garfiel went from enemy to ally, and where Emilia confronted the frozen memories of her childhood. Every stone in this village is stained with timelines that didn't survive.
