Where to Find Sanctum: Stonebound Sword

How to Get Pawney
You need a Pawney to make the sanctum appear. You get one by completing the Journey quest Warrior under The Legend of Helmuts and Helgons. Along the questline, you can evolve your Helmut into Pawney.
Warrior is a Russet Highlands quest, and its quest target is to find clues in Russet Highlands to restore the painting. Its recommended level is 48.
To start Warrior, talk to Sorora in the western part of Russet Highlands, near the Rainbow Woods Bloom Branch. The map clue says the painter Sorora is at the Helmut Habitat, troubled by a blurry painting.
