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.

They, the two of them, were far more alike than perhaps either Hunter might truly have been wont to confess. Anastasia having far more in the way of commonality with Alexander than she had ever had even with her mortal father, and far more than she had with her dear mother. Nicholas had made it a tradition to greet his children with affection, Anastasia having warranted a special place in his heart purely by merit of her vivacious demeanor. A trait that not even the proverbial tides of the last century could erode; in truth, time had served as a whetstone to her vivacity.

She and Alexander, however, had rarely greeted one another with that manner of enthusiasm, such displays proving far outside the scope of their respective natures, despite the Duchess having, in her heart, the greatest affection for the father who had chosen her. And so she does naught more than place a hand gently against his arm so that she might place a single, chaste kiss upon his cheek. This was their custom, and one Anastasia refused to neglect regardless of how cross she presumed he might be with her.

The dazzling sage of her eyes falls first to the whelp worrying contently at his toy before her attention turns to the stallion whose dun pelt glistens with evidence of his health and Alexander's caring attentions. "Da, he does," she issues softly, bending to coax the steed's head to rise, her hand placed gently beneath his chin so that the deep, earthy brown of his eyes peer into the dazzling green of hers. An animal's soul is in its eyes, her father had told her once, something that had proven axiomatic more than once. "Have you let him run yet?" A handful of silent moments pass betwixt woman and beast before she allows the stallion to continue his contented snacking, positioning herself beside Alexander and running her hands gently over the smoothness of the equine's hide. "I have," she offers, a fraught sigh leaving her then. "War keeps many people away from the ones they care about. I can only hope that it was worth it." Only then does an impish grin tug coyly at the brim of her flushed lips. "Would you have me believe that you have missed me, Alexander? Hmm?"
