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.

Had Raven known just who this WerePanther was she would surely not be acting this way or even continue sticking around him. She was aware of what a 'Tetra' was, as it was explained to her from Tobi, he was 'Leader' and brother to Nadya. From what she understood they were a pack, a broken pack with two of its members under the control of some crazed Vampire that owned some sort of hellish nightclub. She had been there a couple of nights all for Lucian and his business. Apparently one of his most loyal, enigmatic, customer wanted the money and small weapons traded off in a discreet, but noisy location. It wasn't something she enjoyed doing, but at least she could keep an eye out for her spotted feline. It didn't surprise her that Tobi would be punished should he free himself for the night and although she chastised him for doing so, she couldn't keep him from wanting to play with her at the warehouse, somewhere in the West district or even in the outskirts. So, she stayed at Syn as if to help keep him in line, sneaking out only when Lucian's friend was either drunk or distracted by someone with pretty eyes. Really, she did not like being there and she couldn't blame Tobias for wanting to run away. The first night of the full moon she barely saw Tetradore and you would think she would realize that this particular male was the one she should be staying away from, but there were other WerePanthers in the city and honestly...how in the world was she supposed to know who he was?

After being chased, shot at and drugged, and chained up next to a panther you would think the lupine would be entirely focused on getting the hell out of dodge. Sadly though she was distracted by some sort of new animal that seemed to turn itself into the shape of a ball. Curious about this creature her grey paw continued to poke at it gently, lowering her head and pressing her cold nose trying to get the thing to unravel. She was not hungry so why the critter felt the need to curl itself in its protective amour only increased her interest. Ebony skull would tilt upwards looking at the top of the exhibit making note of the long trees and with a disdain snort she returned her focus back on the armadillo. She knew she could not climb a tree and assumed that the Panther would just make his way out. Even though both assisted the other she knew the writing was on the wall. At this point it was every Were for themselves. He had no need to continue helping her when his 'get out of jail card' was right in front of him. But before she would leave the exhibit to find a new way out she wanted to play with the odd critter. Batting at it roughly she watched with eagerness as the creature bounced and landed in front of the Panther. Embarrassed and shocked she murmured her apology puzzled as to why he was even still here.

Somber blue-grey eyes watched as he picked up one ebony paw; one grey ear pointed in his direction as he nudged it gently. As soon as he batted it harder, her unusually marked frame lowered itself to the ground as grey paws trapped the creature between it. She had played with Tobi far too many times and she had grown accustomed to felines and their small tell-tale signs. The twitch in Tetradore's tail confirmed the lupine that the big cat was interested to play and how could she deny such a thing? With a soft growl she would whack the creature towards the panther, leaping to the side and swatting another armadillo his way. Raven should have been wary about sticking around with the male WerePanther, in the back of her mind there were thoughts screaming at her to stay away and not play with him. However, she was far too comfortable in his presence. Not all male cats were bad....right?
