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.

Dorian AragonaHis Majesty
This notion of papers is equally as lost upon the Fae man along with the idea that some things were secret, Dorian perhaps, oblivious to how little the outside world truly knew of him, his head tilted slightly in some consideration of this before merely allowing it to pass. It was pleasing, in a fashion, to be in the company of one whom was aware of his own kingdom and- more so, one whom knew of a King whom had once ruled within it and yet Dorian had spent far too long in those manicured courts to remain unaware of the power of friendship or ally ship- the King not nearly fool enough to offer any discouraging words upon Umberto lest his newest companion prove to hold some devotion for the man. It would be both poor manner and poor form, of that Dorian was assured and as such he merely allows that topic to pass between them. His curiosity instead far more taken with this mention of the Belagio and its 'fries'. What on earth 'fries' were remains to be seen, Dorian so given to presume them to be a food of some description, the man unwilling to continue to appear as utterly hopeless as he is assured he already has, the Fae simply nodding in response.
"I think that is within my capabilities."
How he was to make good on such a promise he hardly knew, Dorian determined to look into it all the same. He would ask Sebastian, when he returned, just what these fries were supposed to be and how he might present them to Troy all the same, the mans almost impish smile rather...endearing. Ah, but he was an attractive man! It is the way in which their conversation so drifts towards those more entertaining of activities however that so seems to delight the monarch- his own teasing nature so readily seeming to rouse itself here and now, a chuckle upon his lips as he mentions his experience perhaps, with the decidedly mortal human form that often seemed to lack the stamina of those gifted with immortality. Troy's response sees his own lip quirk upward in amusement, one eye rising in a decidedly notable tease now.
"You mean to say you don't enjoy a challenge?"
He knew entierly that this was not at all what the other Fae had so meant and yet Dorian saw little harm in goading the fellow all the same, his words decidedly light and so holding those teasing notes before his own shoulders shrug ever so slightly, his thoughts shifting briefly back to his own currently absent lover.
"One of the very first supernaturals I ever met within this city assured me on that very night that he was capable of being the best I had ever had, it would have been a decidedly egotistical claim- had it not been true. I think, Mon Amie, you are simply finding the wrong supernaturals."
Another grin so finds its way to the Monarchs lips, Dorian continuing to stride beside his newest companion before this mention of the Council and his workings with them. Dorian readily finding wariness beginning to seep into his form now. The man suspicious, in a fashion, of his companion in that moment. He had fallen prey to the Council once before, Dorian hardly inclined to do so again. His question bold perhaps and yet if Troy's intentions so proved to be nefarious Dorian held every intention of parting ways with him here and now, his affinity so lingering upon the tips of his fingers to be called into play at a moment's notice should he need. It is with careful consideration the the Fae inclines himself to listen to the other mans words, Troy hardly seeming as if he knew more then what he professed to now- the other going so far as to admit his curiosity now before offering Dorian some measure of assistance in this. For several moments still Dorian merely considers these words, the Italian hardly unintelligent despite his lack of experience with the modern world and yet Troy, he thinks, may yet prove to be trustworthy. Perhaps the man might even know what Dorian does not.
"I don't know what the Council desires with me, in truth. I have been contained within my residence in Italy for several hundred years, though not by my own choice, it is a complicated story but in short- once I finally made a point to leave my own palace I was sprung upon by a rather well organised group of Hunters, though whether they worked for the council or not I cannot say. They said someone desired me, wanted me for something or other, had paid them to bring me. They brought me here, to this city, I escaped and have been here ever since. The Council knows I am here, I am sure of it, one of the Council has been to our house. Do you know anything of this?"
