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.

The stars in their orbits

You could say that all was going well, the day was warm, thawing away the winter that had clung so desperately to the city, and Nadya had actually gotten to stretch her legs. Oh she loved her twins but she missed being in her feline form. It was freedom. During the last part of her pregnancy she had been denied the change and had felt horribly detached from her animal side. Now with a soft rumbling purr Nadya languidly licked at each of her paws cleaning the blood from them. It hadn't been a messy kill but any spot of blood lingering on her skin bothered her. Nadya was just about to begin figuring out how best to deal with her kill when a foreign voice brushed against her mind. A none too kindly one at that.

Nadya's ears swiveled back to plaster against her skull in annoyance, lips curling back slightly to bare curved canines in a hiss. It was horribly rude to insult someone but even more of a dig to insult her species. Nadya was in no mood for a physical fight though and while she could rely wholly on her abilities it wasn't necessary just yet. First she would wait and see what further trouble this newcomer got herself into. Irritation prickled Nadya's blackened coat but her hissing at least stopped as she rose to all fours with her tail twitching from side to side and regarded the bear with a hardened gaze. "What do you want?" While bears mostly foraged on berries and ate fish Nadya had seen them quite capable at tackling down a deer. It was that hidden speed that kept the panther on her feet ready for anything the bear decided to do.
