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.

Strange new land


Posted on February 22, 2022 by Theresa Bukar
South



The land was strange, cold, white, and with trees as tall as buildings so densely packed that you could scarcely see the sky at some part. Fear would have been a normal reaction. That was the furthest from the Were's feelings though. Once she was long gone from that shipping container, there was very little thought put into being afraid. Now, she'd argue that cautious was entirely different. The hyena was in some parts cautious...though just enough to dance along the line of curiosity.

Once the snow was determined not to be dangerous, Theresa was having a grand ole time. The cackles of the hyena unrestrained as she pounced and rolled about in the white powder. The fun ceased though when a man suddenly appeared and began to shout at her. The once jovial Were slowly raised to all four paws, shaking the snow from her form before eyeing the man and the weapon held at his side. Buzzkill. The eyeroll game was strong with this one as her body twisted and popped until the caramel skinned young woman stood in place of the hyena. She wrapped the thin robe tightly around her body- it was much less effective at protecting against the cold as her Were form was.

"There's a city near here?" There was only intrigue as she glanced past the man to where this supposed city may be. "Has anyone ever told you that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar?" A smile quirked her features, shrugging as she looked back to the man. "And I don't even know where here is to know where home is." Although the sentiment should be sad, there was no sadness in her eyes. "Wouldn't happen to have any food on you would ya? It's been a long journey and...uh-.." With another small smile she gestured to her attire or lack thereof.
