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.

Hold on to this lullaby; even when music's gone


The area was familiar to her. The mud permeates her nose as the lingering scent of rain drifts in the air. The birds are coming alive again, their calls to each other are soft at first and then gradually get louder.

She flinches.

Her hands lift to clasp over her ears, her eyes squinted against the late afternoon sun as it peeks through the trees. A noise leaves her lips, a half whine, half growl that reverberates in the air. The birds go still and the young woman frowns, dropping her hands and tilting her head back to peer into the trees. She just wanted to listen, but did they have to be so loud?

A huff finally escapes her lips and she takes a few steps forward as one foot slides into a hole. She looks down,, blue eyes scanning the area. There's a pause, a familiarity that flickers in her eyes. A memory of her squeezing into the hole, of another who healed her wounds. Her hand drifts to her hip, her fingertips running over the raised scar. Her entire body shivers as she gets lost in the sound of a gunshot, blood staining the ground, a metallic scent. Running. Lungs burning.

Fear. Fear. Fear.

She crouches, making her body small. A smaller target. Her lips part, sharp and shallow breaths escape. Her blue eyes are almost black in her fear, the wild light in their depths almost pulsating when she hears the snap of a twig and her entire body shifts towards the noise. Her readiness to flee or fight remains to be seen.
