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

Edge of the Circle

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.

Even though legends showed werewolves as terrifying, dangerous, and untamable beasts, many packs like Raven's, didn't act as such things. However, being called a monster was reserved for her, and her alone. Some people have a mental disorder, something that cannot be fixed, but tweaked. She too had a mental disorder, but her kind called it 'feral.' There were times when she was incapable of roaming around in her wolf form with the mind of a human. Instead of helping her or trying to help her cope with such a disturbing ailment, they decided to abuse her. Physical pain could be just as affective when it came to showing her what was right and what was wrong, any creature could be controlled with violence. But it came with consequences. Treating her with unkindness is exactly how everyone treated a monster. How could a monster, like her, try not to be the object of fear by their peers? No monster, of any kind, wanted to be treated this way and no Monster ever asked to be seen as something to fear. Then again, was it truly any Monsters' fault for being the object of fear? It isn't anyone's fault that the human mind is programed to adjust and view anything as something unfamiliar or unnatural to be something to be afraid of. But isn't that what it means to be human- to show compassion, to be considerate, to extend kindness and sympathy, but most of all to execute tolerance. Animals are capable of doing such a thing far more than a human could. You see tigers taking care of piglets, a goat being an elephants' companion, and a cheetah being best friends with a dog. Two separate species, some meant to eat and kill their opposite, and yet they don't. Animals ignore the differences, they may not understand, but they are capable of showing human traits. People just don't understand what they see as different. Rather than learn and show what it means to be human to another creature they simply turn their backs and shred their skin and become the very thing they are truly afraid of- a monster. So, really, just who is the monster?

Standing at the desk with her basket filled to the brim of various homemade goodies she noticed the familiar figure of the warlock coming from the back. Even though she did not trust Davante in the slightest she was willing to at least heed Tobias' words. She did appreciate Tobias slapping the warlock behind his head as his punishment for harming her, it was just another one of those things that showed she could rely on Tobias. So, as a way to show she would try, she was willing to come here and meet him all the while using her homemade goods as a symbol of truce. She was willing to give him a second chance, something she didn't give anyone before, so it would be best if he tried not to screw it up. Setting the basket on his desk, she would give the boy a slight nod at his comment before she turned and noticed the scent of another person, one that she didn't want to be near. Her soft growls would silence when she made her way towards the being that didn't belong here. Every Hunter she has come across wanted to destroy her first, and it is with that knowledge, and her natural distrust in others that made the she-wolf look at the girl with such abhorrence. A soft snort was given in distaste as another growl came out of her, her rigid form taking one step, her head held high as blue-grey eyes narrowed. That soft voice held a slight bite to it as she crossed her arms.

"You do not have the strength to do such a thing."

Even though Raven was a quiet person and kept to herself whenever she felt threatened her entire demeanor would change. Out of all that was here in Sacro there were only two supernatural creatures that held the most powers and Emerence was standing in front of the only one that wouldn't kill her at first glance. She should thank her lucky stars that Raven wasn't like her counterpart. Ever since she and Tobias were attacked by a pair of hunters in the alleyway neither of them was so forgiving when they came across another. The need to survive outweighed the need to show any sense of tolerance. Not one Hunter she came across ever showed her kindness and she didn't believe this one was capable of doing such a thing either. Weres, just like other supernatural creature, are always hunted down and many killed, especially the innocent ones. It was no surprise that Hunters killed simply because it was their calling, to destroy all those that were unholy and protect the human race. Supernatural creatures, like humans, had many in their societies that could be seen as bad and others seen as good. It was a shame Hunters didn't focus on the bad members of society...maybe they would do some actual good. Raven was glad that Davante hadn't mentioned her name, it was something that this...Emerence had no business in knowing at this point. Blue-grey eyes met Davante's once holding it for a moment before they shifted to the Hunters', her soft voice trickling out once more.

"Perhaps if you were one of us...you'd understand why we take precaution with your kind. We don't go around hunting for you...but we will attack if needed."

Slowly the young woman began to walk around the Hunter and the table contained with knives behind the glass. Silently her eyes roamed over the girls frame, quietly studying the girl. It could be a bit unnerving for a she-wolf to circle around you, just as any wolf does when they come across prey, but her intentions were not to harm. Rather she was wanting to offer assistance, but why she would want to do such a thing it just could not be said. Coming to a stop beside the warlock her shoulder would rub his for a moment, a sign of temporary comradery, as her arms crossed again eyeing the woman carefully as she stood a few feet closer to the girl.

"You want a blade, yes? Hold out your hands, fingers stretched out so I can look at them, then tell me what is your favorite way to attack and kill...and no lying."

Turning her head slightly she would point Davante in the direction where he kept some blades out on display, her voice holding a kinder note to it.

"Do you mind grabbing me the parrying dagger, the billao and badik and...any of the sabre."
