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.

Sterling was oblivious to the tears that lined Henry's cheeks, that apology wholly lost upon him as he floated in that world of blackness. That pain was overwhelming, that blood loss had made him woozy, the whole world dizzy to the point that it made him sick enough that wakefulness was an impossibility. He hardly reacted as Henry attempted to patch up those numerous wounds that littered his frame, the man equally oblivious of the paramedics as they came in the room, inquiring after what had occurred. Those paramedics were quick to collect him, entirely unwilling to simply listen to whatever excuses Henry attempted to make up before rushing the unconscious boy half way across town and to the hospital. Thankfully, he remained unconscious for several hours longer, allowing them to so mend those deeply etched scratches upon his flesh. It wasn't until well into the evening that he boy drowsily awoke, entirely baffled by the sterile white wash walls that surrounded him and the beeping of those machines beside him that followed the beat of his heart. A frown marred his features as he reached up to gingerly hold his head in his hands, a groan upon his lips at that residual pain that still existed within the boy.
A nurse wandered into his room not moments later, Sterling nearly immediately inquiring after his boyfriend. He was startlingly disappointed to discover he had arrived here alone and that, during his stay, no one had stopped by or called to inquire after him. That simple...lack of presence hit the boy like a freight train, his heart nearly breaking that, in spite of everything, he had simply been left here. In the hours afterwards, Sterling found himself discharged from the hospital with prescriptions for pain medication clutched within his hand. He'd had a cab called for him, the boy hardly in any condition to walk all the way home like he usually would have. He wearily made his way up those familiar steps, those keys he'd arrived with fitting in the lock and yet, though he so viciously hoped to find Henry nestled on the couch or hidden away in the bedroom - the flat was dark and cold, as if no one had been there since they had left. Henry had left him. He could hardly help the tears that spilled down his cheeks, tears he wiped quickly away as he made his way into the comfort of his own bedroom.
