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.

i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

One would think that because she was part human and part predator she would not have any inclinations of being afraid of something. If supernatural beings did not exist, then as a human, she would be on top of the food chain without having any threats. If she was solely a wolf, then she would be considered at the top of her own food chain, with predators she is capable defeating â€" if she was not alone. Naturally both halves of her life were at the top of their own species, and one would think as a carrier of both species, there would be hardly anything for her to fear. Yet at a very young age she was taught to fear those that were abusive, and with the way Frost had treated her, it caused those older fears and those old reactions from being abused resurface. Yes, he was human and part of a prey animal, but he had shown many times over, and over again, that he was not a prey animal that could be subdued, he was a different sort of prey animal â€" a dangerous one that didn't fit within the typical circle of life.

Being within Isolt's presence brought back to Raven the feeling of comfort she had been trying to embed herself in. She wanted to feel a bit of normalcy again. All these weeks after the attack she had locked herself away within the Ark, trying to ease herself back to some sort of routine. However, the more she tried to keep herself locked within the Ark the more she damage she was unknowingly doing to herself. With Isolt in her bedroom now it gave off the impression to Raven that perhaps she would not need to venture out of the Ark â€" her pack was here and Isolt came. What could she possibly need beyond the Ark? With the mention of herself, Tetradore, and Tobias be a part of Isolt's coven, the werewolf couldn't help, but nod her head in agreement. Isolt had been part of the Nightshade pack way before the pack even was organized. Everyone within the pack had some sort of tether to the young vampire, and Raven assumed, that all would do something to help the red-head should she be in danger of some sort. With an unknowing shrug Raven muttered softly under her breath, blue-grey hues slowly lifting upwards to see the deeply concerned vampire.

"I can't say for Tobias or Tetradore, but I know I feel like you are part of our pack."

It was not her place to speak on her Alpha's behalf, or her companion's, but she could use experiences to convey this particular belief â€" that Isolt was an honorary member within the pack. Though the idea on whether or not Isolt was a true member, or an honorary one, was disregarded the moment the conversation shifted towards Frost. Lowering her head her hands would quickly collapse together, her fingers twisting and turning amongst one another in a nervous and fidgety manner. She did not understand why she became some sort of punching bag for the werehorse. Ever since they first met things between them had never been civil. She took offense to his words when they met at the masquerade party. She despised how he acted around others, importantly, those that seemed weak in front of him. She did not like his actions, she did not like the words he spoke, and without any other reason needed â€" she disliked him greatly. He appeared apathetic to everyone, but she knew he was easy to anger, and he was unable to control this emotion. He was dangerous and he needed to be removed, but she did not think that was her purpose. No, others needed to see how he truly was before anything could be done. With a somber sigh her eyes casted downwards, uncomfortable with the non-threatening prying from Isolt. Softly her words tumbled out as she explained to Isolt the foreboding creature that was named Frost.

"Remember that male at the masquerade party, the one with the pale blonde hair that slithered up near me and helped cause the fight? That's him, that's Frost and he is a were-horse. After the party I ran into him a couple of times, usually he is just picking on someone, pushing them around, anyone that appears weak in front of him. He has been extremely unkind to everyone in his presence, very egotistical, and so very to anger. That night he was being mean to Alexis, and I told him to leave, but he wouldn't. He attacked me and I remember Alexis leaving with him. I do not like him Isolt, I do not like him at all."
