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.

What a perfectly odd thing to ask a person. Was he saying he was royalty? What did that mean? For a moment Dorian merely finds that silver gaze resting softly upon Troy's own with evident curiosity, head tilted slightly in some measure of inquisitiveness as he attempted to so place this unusual question and find some sort of reply with which to afford it. Perhaps Troy had misunderstood his words, more so, perhaps Troy was confused in some fashion as to what he had been trying to say and yet more likely Dorian was assured it was he himself at fault somehow. Lost yet again in this myriad of modern customs he hardly knew how to navigate before the ancient Fae so seems to merely blunder forward all the same and attempt to respond without causing any offense toe the Fae man before him whom seemed unsure as to what Dorian had been saying at all. What a perfectly odd creature. It was fortunate perhaps, the he was quite a pretty one, surely the man was pleasing enough in that regard as to have others look past his obscure conversational choices. Dorian evidently entirely unused to being misunderstood else subject to even the faintest of modern slang.

"Yes. I am King of Naples, Italy."

There is little need, he is sure, to so afflict Troy with the rest of his titles today, head nodded softly in assurance before he moves to fall into step with the man all the same, the idea that he might take his clothing off in any sort of public setting so utterly abhorrent to him that he is left gaping at Troy once more in utter shock. Dorian moving to hurriedly correct the man all the same and only further assure him he hardly intended to change into anything upon the very beach itself. To think! The notion of 'stashing' his pants equally as confusing to him. Why one would stash clothing Dorian hardly knows and yet he has simply come to except that Troy and himself are perhaps destined to misunderstand each other- Dorian hardly finding he minded truly. After all, Troy had so far proven to be of exceptional company and as such the Monarch was willing to overlook these vague nuances of difference.

"I should give all these women a heart attack were I to take anything off- I shall leave my clothing on and simply suffer it for now."

He moves to assure the other man all the same. No women, upon this beach surely, in any possession of any desire to see him take anything off- how improper that would be! His attention then turns readily to Samantha as they walk, his roommate and her fledgling monarchy seeing that query upon her lips, curious perhaps, as to whether Samantha had already extended an invitation to his companion. Just how these groups were so organised was something of a mystery to Dorian himself, even despite his position within it and yet- what was important to Samantha was, in turn, important to himself.

"If it is of any intrigue to you I have never been a part of one of these Fae Monarchies before and yet I enjoy the company. There are very few of us in this city, at least in comparison to the other species and there is a certain pleasure in being among your own kind I have found."

He smiles easily then, Troy's sudden question seeing that inquisitiveness return as Dorian regarded him once more. The Fae King decidedly curious by nature and indeed, more so, intrigued as to why Troy so sought to trust him.

"Very well, I shall keep this secret, what do you wish to tell me?"
