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 stars in their orbits (Open to Weres)

It had been so long since she had taken to her feline form. Nadya had been with Sebastian and simply kept to her human form, whether to make it less awkward for him or herself was debatable as to her reasoning. But now her brother and Tobi had escaped Risque's control and they were a pack again. It was an odd but familiar and welcome feeling to have that link with them in her mind again. However, it wasn't to say that Tobi didn't still drive her bat crazy, especially given the new living arrangement. Nadya was beyond happy that they, as a pack, had a place that wasn't the warehouse district and had hot water which included showers. Tobi on the other hand was unused to living in a home and was it was like caging a wild animal with how destructive he could be with the items in the house. This led to Nadya needing some space, though instead of running back to Sebastian's as she normally did she decided to take a stroll through the outskirts. Nadya figured during her time away that there were bound to be other Were's lurking about that she hadn't met before.


The sun was making its descent into late afternoon and the heat from the day had been mild enough that the cover from the forest hadn't been completely penetrated. The dim shadows clung to the black coat of the panther as she meandered down one of the worn dirt paths. Even though it had been a while since being there she still remembered how to get to her favorite spots. Eventually Nadya came to one of the running streams she enjoyed. It was just deep enough to be fully submerged when she would lay in it on hot days and still cold as it was fast moving and closer to the spring. The large black panther rubbed the length of her body from nose to tail contently against the rough bark of a tree before raising on her hindquarters in a stretch, claws unsheating to rake and scour grooves into the tree.


Once Nadya settled back onto the earth she perched herself beside the stream, her tail coiling around her haunches with the tip flicking idly at the ground. Her trained yellow eyes scanned her horizon, ears swivling about to catch any sound that she wasn't alone. The sounds of late summer grasshoppers and cicadeas met her ears but she knew Were's could be fickle creatures and hiding just as easily. The question would always be whether friend or foe.
