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.

Damn this infernal contraption.

Damn this machine with all of its knobs, nooks, and gadgets and damn the fact that utilizing it had quickly become somewhat of a necessity. For a generous portion of the last century, Anastasia had spared herself the irritation of having to drive herself anywhere, undoubtedly preferring to be driven by hired hands. Chaffeurs had been a part of her existense for the century and then some that she had been alive, the Russian damsel having never seen particular value in the notion of learning to pilot a motorcar; admittedly, the few ocassions before that had seen her attempt such a feat had ended in a rather... unfortunate manner.

Nonetheless does the white Audi glide in a somewhat smooth cadence down the various avenues as the feminine voice of the guidance system chirps away her instructions. Alexander's summons was peculiar perhaps because it had been nearly a decade since progeny and creator had existed within the same country, much less the same metropolis, and so such cryptic invites were decidedly few and far between. However, Anastasia could not deny the calls of her guardian, the elder conqueror without question the only individual of whom such a statement could be made. To the needs of others the former royal was undeniably and unapologetically aloof, as brooding and critical as her father had been. Like father, like daughter, as it were.

The blessed moment of her arrival at Alexander's indicated locale comes none too soon, Anastasia extracting herself from the vehicle and traipsing confidently in the direction of the gated paddock. The Russian woman lacks her customarily chic dress and immaculate heels, having taken enough hint from Alexander's choice of meeting point to discern that such garb was inappropriate; instead had she donned beautifully-dark denim tucked just so into polished riding boots with a perfectly-fitted button up shirt. The leather straps of a pristine and oiled bridle, as requested, rest carefully upon her arm as the auburn-haired woman entered the fenced space to find the man she sought perched atop an admittedly quite gorgeous equine. A Were. She is certain in the notion as she is in a great many things, the knowledge inherent and automatic by virtue of her affinity.

"She's quite lovely, Alexander," Anastasia lilts, offering this and naught more.
