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. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

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.

The University of Sacrosanct

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

Askaree Bint Bahar


She emerges subtly from the blackened depths of the pond, the onyx surface of the water merely rippling as she transcends the barrier of underwater playground and the sprawling, endless nighttime sky. In all honestly this particular watering hole was well and truely far too small for the brutish heft that was Askaree's ophidian form, the constraints of glorified puddle rendering any full utilization of the power inherent in this alternate form nearly entirely impossible. However, this night was one during which the Egyptian reptile desired naught more than to simply be within the aquatic playpen. On this night she did not require the expanse of the nearby (and markedly larger) lake in order to stretch her reptilian muscles, instead finding every morsel of required bliss merely gliding about upon the spongy loam of the pond floor as all matter of creatures swam and scuttled about paying only minutely necessary mind to the peacefully lingering crocodile.

Scaled armor disintegrates as she emerges, melting seamlessly into supple caramel skin. Askaree pulls herself unto the cushioned loam of the pond shore, relishing in the tickling kiss of the saturated grass upon her bare flesh as she moves to casually gather and don her discarded clothing. It is a leisurely stroll she takes back to the asphalt ribbon of the main thoroughfare, though hardly does she traverse the treeline before gunfire cracks across the confines of the small clearing. What fucking idiot is out here firing off? For the barest and most fleeting moment, the Egyptian shrew debates the merits of putting forth the energy to actually confront said idiot before quickly deciding that she far better shit to do than verbally abuse some mindless trigger-happy twat. That was until she caught sight of a vaguely familiar waterfall of glistening blonde hair.

A devilish smirk coils its way about her lips, the nymph adjusting her course at once to place herself behind the presumably unsuspecting blonde. Askaree slithers from betwixt the trees with all of the stealth and grace that any worthwhile predator possessed. Ever nearer does she draw to the blonde that had once attempted to employ Askaree as a masterpiece, poising herself behind the young woman and leaning treacherously near to her ear before hissing but a single word.

"Boo."
