South
The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation
The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit.

Hyde Park
Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.
Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium
The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.
The Outskirts
Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

Ever since the incident she had been attempting to repair the damage she had created between herself and the staff on the Ark. Some of the staff members seemed okay to quickly let it all be water under the bridge. There were those that saw her with a bit of fear in their eyes, and she couldn't help but wince each time they would flinch near her. She was hoping that overtime everything would be back to the way that it was. Now that the staff were well aware of her dirty little secret, in a way, Raven was happy that they knew. It meant she didn't have to hide it. It meant that they would know what to do the next time it occurred and hopefully, hopefully, no one else would be harmed. Luckily for her Jackal was one of the Weres on Staff that didn't seem bothered at all by her feral state. In fact he seemed to be quite proud of the nickname he had bestowed upon her, since the first time Tobias had introduced them to one another. Although deep down she despised the nickname he chose for her.
In her way of making up for injuring him that terrible night, she was willing to help him deal and sort with the bets. She was used to hiding herself away within her bedroom, curled up in a good book on nights Tobi didn't wish to participate in the ring. Though when he was in the ring she would observe him proudly. Currently he was somewhere along the bar gorging himself with food before entering the ring once again. Quietly she took the money, counted them, and handed them out to other patrons as some came to pay what they owed or collect what they won. Although tonight she was working painstakingly hard not to move her head that much, because underneath her long curves there was a heavily bruised bite mark long her neck, that could be visible. She did not wish for anyone to see the love bite Tobias had given her, the girl far too embarrassed to simply brush off those teasing comments.
Hearing Jackal say 'Salvaje' over and over again caught her attention, seeing that Jackal wished for her to handle the new wave of Weres coming to place their bets for the next round. Before she could even converse with them she felt something tugging her sleeve. Without moving her head she reached her hand out and gently stroked the muzzle of the creature, muttering softly she would be with it in a moment. With her other hand she gave the wad of cash to Jackal, as he quickly thumbed through them before looking the other way. It was the sudden pull again on her sleeve that she managed to turn her dial, her eyes widening as she sees those familiar pair of emerald eyes looking at her. With a quick apology to Jackal and her Alpha, she lowered her dial slightly as she quickly followed him up the stairs to the landing. As soon as her foot caught the top of the stairs she could feel her body shifting without her control. Puzzled she allowed the shift to occur finding herself in front of the panther.
Quickly she moved towards him, lowering her dial and pressing her ears back, in a submissive gesture unsure why he wished her here. Gently she pressed her dial against the side of his face, and allowed it to trial down his neck, allowing her shoulder to slam into his chest, the canine attempting to greet him in a feline gesture. Tobias had trained her fairly well in this custom. Slowly she backed away from her Alpha, her tail swaying side to side eagerly. Never before had he come just for her. Always he went off to do something with Tobias, Nadya, or Sam, or mostly just by himself. So, Raven was quite eager and excited to see just what he wanted with her. The meek woman always ready to serve her Alpha in any way she possibly could, numerous years of being the bane of existence to her own Alpha parents, she was desperate to prove her worth in any way she possibly could to Tetradore. Even though he called her sister-in-law, and family, the girl was still so eager to do something right. Standing before him, her tail still swaying to and fro enthusiastically, her voice gently pressing into his mind, the girl unable to hide her obvious zeal.
