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.

It was a nice cloudy day out but so far the rain had stayed at bay. That could change at any minute but he was willing to risk it. He put on a think long sleeve shirt and some faded jeans with holes at the knees. He didn't really feel the cold but he felt he should blend in a little with the locals and everyone was starting to put on coats and jackets for the cooler weather. Erik thought about grabbing a light jacket himself but that just seemed like overkill so he shrugged and headed out the door, needing some fresh air. He had been at the house far too much over the past few months. Sorcha was off doing her own thing and while she would always be welcome at his place, he felt cramped, like he was sitting around waiting on her or something and that just wasn't healthy. If she was interested in something more than friendship from him, she would let him know, right? She was a strong confident witch. Or at least, she used to be before that damned coven stole her powers and started sucking her dry.

But she was working on freeing herself from that curse and she had other witches helping her now. She didn't really need Erik anymore. At least that's how it seemed. He got tired of the looks his housemaid kept giving him so he decided he would start getting out of the house more. He found himself at the park today. Not really sure why. Luckily his lying low routine seemed to get the Hunters off his trail. He didn't catch any suspicious figures around so maybe today he would be left alone in peace. Most of the time, they considered him a threat just because of his age and the fact he could walk in the daylight. He couldn't remember the last time he'd killed a human out of anger and he'd gotten so good at blending in with humans that most of the time, he slipped by even the most experienced of Hunters. They could sense a vampire was near but could never pinpoint him as long as he was in a group.

Even with his big broad shoulders, he'd mastered the art of slouching and looking every bit as small and human as the rest of them. He hadn't been in the park long when he caught sight of a figure on a bench. At first he thought she was reading like most of the other people that came to the park. But then he noticed the pencil in her hand and how she was moving her fingers so masterfully on the pad before her. An artist then. He didn't see many of those around here. Curious, he walked around till he was by her bench. He tried to peek a glance from a distance but his curiosity only grew. He couldn't see enough of the sketch to really tell what she was drawing, so instead he found himself standing behind the bench, looking over her shoulder. He hadn't really noticed he had done it until she paused in her drawing and tensed a little. He offered a soft smile. "My apologies. I have an appreciation for what some can do with their hands and I couldn't make it out well enough from over there." Hopefully she wouldn't run away screaming now.
