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.

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 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.
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.
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 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.

Instead of allowing Tobias to unwind within the fighting ring, both had decided to take their spotted companion on an adventure to the South! Though they didn't want to just run around in the woods. There was a particular spot both had seen when they did their own wanderings within the park, and they agreed that it would be quite ideal for Tobias and his childlike mind. Getting Tobias to follow them wasn't difficult at all. It actually felt freeing to run beside her companions as they left the West and entered the South. They wouldn't say just where they were taking Tobias, but each time he poked and prodded on where they were going, both panther and lupine would reply by saying 'it's a surprise.' Eventually they arrived at the designated spot, a children's playground and both appeared amused at his sheer delight. Although that amusement faded the moment the male demanded their full attention. Dutifully, like any pack member or mate, she was okay with fulfilling his wishes, especially since she hadn't been giving him her entire focus for a while now. For a moment she looked over at Tetradore, releasing a small sigh, almost as if she was regretting this decision, but all such thoughts were gone the moment her mate decided her attention needed to be on him, alone. Tobias demanded that she and their Alpha engage in a playful game.
They were predators and it was no surprise that they would play a chasing game. Quietly the lupine listened to Tobias explain the rules, as he saw fit. The metal dome would be considered the 'safe place' and one had to be on top of it or inside it. She and her Alpha would hide somewhere within the playground, and once Tobias counted down to 1 he would chase them and try to catch them. While Tobias sat beside the metal dome and closed his eyes, counting down with random numbers, she looked to Tetradore and immediately began to run towards the plastic tunnels, thinking perhaps this would be fine. Settling herself in the middle of the tubes she waited painterly for the leopard to say 1, and the moment she did, she went still, both grey-trimmed ears pricked forward as she waited to hear him approaching.
Silently she listened to the sounds of his paws sinking into the gravel, giving away his location, the sound of his weight slamming into the metal of one of the jungle gyms attached to the slide and then nothing. It was the sudden sound of something heavy smacking itself on top of the plastic tube, right above her that caused the lupine to bark in shock as she began to run for her escape. The plastic tube tunnels had different turns and twists and opening, and as she heard Tobias atop of running after her she tried to think how she could get herself out of this situation. Finding herself at a nearby opening she noticed it was split in two different directions, taking a leap of faith she headed out on the right side of the tube, surprised to turn around and see that the leopard was waiting for her on the left opening. Pleased she kicked up her speed heading quickly for the metal dome, running as fast as she could and not get caught.
