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.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

Within the back of her skull her mind was buzzing way too much. Although the feral creature was now in charge it was not at peace. That other side was still fighting to take control, and she was not interested in permitting such a thing. For far too long she remained locked up within the dark corners of the mind they shared. Right now she had no interest of doing anything. Simply lying here in the cool dew grass in the middle of the woods at night was enough, it was all she needed right now. That and if the throbbing pain she felt would go away. Then perhaps all would be well. However, with the annoying pain came the presence of annoying pest. Blue-grey eyes narrowed darkly at the smaller canine not liking it when its voiced slipped through. That voice was aggravating, like nails to a chalkboard, and that voice only encouraged the other to try and take control again. As her black lips pulled back to reveal her teeth, in warning, she stopped once the voice stopped pounding in her mind. Still in control, but not sure what to do, she began to lick her paws when she stopped noticing the movement out of the corner of her eye.


Quietly she watched the coyote start to turn over on her side and then on her back. Her own dial would tilt sideways in curiosity and wonder. Many a times she had presented herself this way to others within her own pack. None ever submitted to her. And as far as she was aware she didn't force the other to submit herself in the first place. Maybe it was a bit of ego or still inquisitiveness, but whatever the case, it motivated the gigantic wolf to stand up. Cautiously she approached the other unsure whether this was a genuine submittal. After all she had played this card, only to get her assaulter closer, so that she could attack right back. Her black nose would work into overdrive as she began to gently brush her muzzle from the bottom of the coyote all the way up to the top. The scent didn't draw any familiarity. Standing over the coyote now she placed her larger nose over the other's, waiting for something for a moment, and after a few minutes she snorted softly and moved away from coyote, circling the critter.


Once the coyote got up the wolf quickly snatched the other up, by the scruff of her neck, like a mother would with a child. The feral creature would carry the coyote over towards a nearby river that winded through the woods. Gently she would place the coyote at the river bank. With a flick of her tail the wolf happily entered the rushing cold water. Her dial would suddenly plunge into the river and there within her teeth was a fish that flopped out of control. Slowly she would walk back up towards the river where she left the coyote. Dropping the fish in front of the coyote, the feral creature watched the smaller canine intently, expecting it to kill the fish. Apparently the smaller canine made the feral creature think that it was a small pup, one that needed to be taught how to hunt.
