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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.

Nadya couldn't remember when she had last been to the beach. Then again she couldn't remember a lot lately. The blackhole that was her brain kept stabbing her with pain any time she tried to recall a memory. What she did know was that her own brother despised her but she couldn't even remember why. The first place she had gone after escaping the Hunters was to her brother. It was the single strongest blood bond she had pulling her to what should have been safety and comfort. Instead it brought only pain. Nadya had fled in confusion before a whole lot could be discussed.
The young woman had spent the night curled in her Were form in the dark abyss of an abandoned warehouse. It was the need for warmth as the afternoon sun peeked that drew her from the warehouse. At least she had managed to get some clothes so she was no longer clad in the exam outfit the Hunters had put her in. Her skin was still paler than it should be due to the malnutrition and lack of sun for the entirety she had been a captive. The sun felt both welcome and searing as she crossed barefoot over the loose sand. She chose a spot well away from the others taking advantage of the Fool's Spring sunny day to fold down onto the sand with her knees to her chest.
The very thought that she may not be able to return to the only place she could remember...the only person she truly remembered...it tore at her.
