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.

"An eclipse?" Sterling inquired, his gaze turned back from the window and that array of colors of the setting sun to the man across from him. It had, in truth, been quite some time since he'd seen anything of that nature, the thought hardly occurring to him that an eclipse surely meant a full moon, much less what he knew Henry now was. Rather, the entirety of his focus was settled upon this simple moment with his boyfriend across from him and the beauty of nature surrounding them. "Maybe we will get to see it...?" He inquired, unsure of when the natural phenomenon would occur and whether or not it would impact the man's current plans. His lingering thoughts on what the future of their evening might hold, however, were entirely distracted by the sudden presence of dinner placed before him, that smell of chicken was altogether poignant, the herbs fresh and crisp and the chicken cooked to utter perfection. It was, perhaps, only natural that the chef within him would so studiously eye every minute detail of that meal and yet, it was entirely to the warlock's satisfaction. "Mmm." The word was uttered softly on his lips as he placed a piece of that juicy white meat in his mouth, that simple syllable alone seemed enough to show Henry his acceptance of that dish and, in turn, see the man propel into action.
Sterling was well aware of that silence on Henry's part, his gaze certainly creeping over towards the man every so often throughout the meal. Though, he supposed, Henry had never been relatively talkative when there was food present, he was starting to get this nagging feeling that something was wrong. What, he wasn't sure, and to be frank even he was questioning if it was more in his mind then something really occurring. He tried not to dwell on it too much, instead simply enjoying the meal he had been given and yet, he was determined to make tonight altogether unforgettable. A small smile fluttered to his features as Henry rose when his own meal was finished, offering Sterling his arm in a gesture that was far more gentlemanly than anything he'd ever done. He was almost thankful for the privacy of their stateroom and yet, he was surprised to see how quickly his lover shed that jacket, his gaze clearly turned to the setting sun that filled their cabin.
His own fingers toyed with those buttons on his vest and jacket, depositing them in a nearby chair without the clear care Henry so placed in the removal of those clothing. Rather, Sterling closed the distance between the pair, his arms wrapping around Henry's waist as his chin rested on his boyfriend's shoulder. "Henry...." His voice was decidedly soft as his fingers gingerly toyed with the man's pant line before one hand flattened, dipping lower beneath that material to let his fingers gingerly caress the length of his lover. "I think...we've waited long enough." He muttered gingerly in his lover's ear, his lips pressing gently against Henry's neck before he pulled away just enough to continue. "I want to be all yours, in every way." There was a warm simper upon his lips, the man well aware of exactly what he was asking and, too, he hoped Henry understood the implications of his finger's firm work just as well.
