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. The University welcomes the talent of students across the world to enroll and unlock their unlimited potential. With applications from across the nation, classes fill up quickly.

The sudden assurance of the man before him that he did, indeed, know Samantha saw a momentary lift of the Fae King's own gaze in surprise. Samantha had certainly never mentioned meeting such a man and yet of late Dorian himself had been perhaps wholly despondent. That lack of his lover having resulted in the Fae King moping about his own room in a constant state of what he claimed was boredom and yet Samantha had perhaps more correctly recognised as some internal stress over his fear his companion may have left entirely. It was possible, he supposed, that Samantha had so mentioned having met such a man and Dorian had simply dismissed the conversation as a whole- his features frowning slightly in some effort to recall any mention of this Troy before his eternally youthful features smoothed easily once more at this discovery of the starfish. It is only once the highly unusual creature had been returned to its rock pool that Dorian's attention so returns to his own efforts of introduction. Dorian, for once, settling for merely his first name without the titles so often attached to it. The modern world, it seemed, hardly understood them and as such Dorian had all but given up attempting to explain else then attempting to comfort those whom seemed to find themselves so flustered they hardly knew what to do save for throw themselves at his feet or attempt to find an appropriate way in which to addresses him. Troy's sudden inquiry for more upon such a topic momentarily sees Dorian's own head tilt in inquisitiveness.

"I am normally addressed as Your Majesty and then thereafter as Sire. First names though, I think, are more common here."

The Fae King answers simply, so affording Troy the knowledge he had asked for before a new idea of sorts so seems to take his mind, Dorian glancing further up the beach and towards something within the distance that so seemed to hold his attention- inquiring as to Troy's own plans for the better part of the day. If Samantha so insisted he must spend time outside and within the sun then he saw no reason why it could not be done within the company of someone else. Troy having displayed some ability to navigate this world with his masterful command of the starfish and in this skill alone Dorian remained content. Those silver eyes flick to the man beside him once more at this idea he might have some desire to change his clothing, Dorian appearing momentarily taken aback by the suggestion that he do such a thing here on the very beach! A look of confusion so adorning the Monarch's features now.

"How might I change my clothes here? I think that would be most inappropriate- the sun shall have to dry them I fear."

That this might not be so entirely what Troy had meant remains to be seen, a smile of sorts finding his lips at the other Fae's agreement to join him all the same, Dorian gesturing briefly further up the beach where he clearly intended to go, falling effortlessly into steps beside Troy now.

"If you have met Samantha then, is it so you will be joining us within our own Fae Monarchy?"

Samantha, after all, was surely seeking to add to their growing group, Dorian curious perhaps as to whether or not such an invitation had already been offered to the man beside him. For several moments more the Fae man continues to stroll barefoot beside his newest companion, continuing along that path and towards their destination, another thought so seeming to take hold within his mind.

"What are you doing in this city, Troy?"
