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.

THEY SAY IM A GOD

A girl.
The voices scream, fading waves of past agonies haunting him. The evidence of this torture blatantly clear in the shaking of his massive frame, the blood that oozes from his ears and the sweat beading upon his forehead. Not many are blessed to witness the viking king in such a vulnerable state. This little dame would have stories to tell to her friends, of the great king of old appearing to wither before her very eyes.
Innocence bleeds from her as she draws near to him, her airy presence bringing no peace to his wretched soul. He has murdered children like her, some younger than her and for this he was not proud. The reasoning behind his disgraceful life a twisted one that not any could understand. The stories of his past remaining distant memories locked away in the same dark caverns of his mind that the souls dwell in.
To keep it simply put, the viking was complicated.
He turns to her, clear irises fixating upon her young, plush face. She had no idea the horrors that lurked behind that scarred face. Her voice, surprisingly strong breaks into his mind, clear as day into his mind. Finnish, nothing to do whatsoever with the scandinavian language he himself can speak. The mere loan words they share wouldn't be enough for him to understand, but he is no young boy just learning. He is a seasoned man, aged well like wine. With that came knowledge. "Hiljainen tyttö, tarvitsen rauhaa" he rumbles, his baritones broken and torn.
He breathes, rubbing those temples slowly until finally, another wave of peace reaching him. He sighs, the sound low as it falls from his plush lips hidden by that thick beard. Slowly he turns to her again, reaching a massive hand to attempt to touch that bare innocent face of hers. If she allows it, the touch would be brief, subtle, his hand upon her small cheek as thumb grants her a quick stroke along her pale skin. A thank you of sorts, to allow him this distraction from his inner turmoil and then he releases not one for affection and definitely one for a caring heart towards the youth. He has seen kids her age killing his own men in a time before this, no one was safe and no one could be trusted.
"Olen Iorkaell, olet yksin?" he offers her his title, asking in return of the whereabouts of others. Though a supernatural child, she was still a child nonetheless and regardless of the fact that the king's heart was painted black by the aging blood of his enemies, he still had a heart.
-quiet child i need peace-
--I am iorkaell, you are alone?--
