West
The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Black Market
Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.
What You'll Find Here
Cull & Pistol
Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.
Bartender Raylin Chike
Noah's Ark
Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar.
Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Syn
Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

As always the Ark was the place to be for their kind. It was a chance for everyone to make money and make a name for themselves. Business continued to thrive, but that didn't mean they had to stay stagnant. When anyone participated in the fights they could go solo or partners. Rarely did the lupine participate in the ring by herself. It wasn't that she couldn't hold her own, but she would prefer not to go at it alone. Her husband on the other hand was an entirely different story. He was willing to show off in the ring enjoying all the attention on himself. Her spotted companion enjoyed fighting in the ring with herself or Tetradore when it was partner night. Fighting in the ring could be fun, but Raven knew she had to be careful. Unlike the others within their race she was incapable of healing quickly. When she exited the ring, Tobias made sure to keep close to her, as they left. They would sit up in the rafters, far from the patrons below, where they would watch the rest of the fighting while her mate tended to her wounds or they would hide away within their room if it was worse.
It was best for her to hide away and not let their patrons see her weakness, because it could be used against them. Participating in those rings meant that their enemies could learn about their movements and anticipate what they would do should they try to attack. When she had the Ark here by herself the Ape pack attacked attempting to take over the West. Luckily her feral side came out to help defend the home and family she only belonged to. Of course she had help from Frost and Malia, but just because that threat was eliminated didn't mean there would be others. One thing they had to their advantage was that whatever sort of power they had not everyone was aware of it, maybe some of their powers, but not all of them. Within the ring you couldn't use your powers, Jackal had the ability to neutralize everyone's power before they entered. Tonight they were attempting to do something new.
There were many Weres that couldn't participate in the fights, because it was done on land. So, for the first time this evening they would do a water fight. Now a land Were and a water Were would not fight one another, but two water Weres could. They didn't have an arena built with underwater lights. So, they would do these fights in the evening now that the sun was in the sky much longer. This would be a fun avenue that would open the doors for new fighters and an additional flow of money to come through. The staff would need additional help and Raven was more than happy to pull up her sleeves and help out. Coming down from the deck of the ship the lupine moved past the other staff members carrying the various things they needed. As she went down the steps she noticed their newest staff member setting up the bar. A small smile appeared as she shook her head. Someone forgot they were working upstairs. Staying within the shadows she noticed Caroline was looking up near where she was probably looking to see if Tetradore was around, after all he was known to stalk around this area. Pulling some of her golden-brown curls from her face she stepped out of the shadows and leaned against the rafters and crossing her arms, looking down at the girl with a kind smile as she spoke softly.
There was no need for Caroline to concern herself of the green-eyed man. The woman was doing her job very well and not causing any problems. Raven was quite sure that Tetradore would continue to tolerate the woman so long as she continues to fulfill her promise. Sometimes giving another a second chance was a good thing.
