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.

Nadya Tetradore
The panther didn't have to wait long for the sound of clomping hooves upon the ground to meet her pricked ears. Although Nadya knew Frost was an equine she didn't know if any of the other members of his pack were as well. This unknown had Nadya's form remaining tense until the white stallion broke through the clearing barrier. His presence alone calmed the young mother, allowing her muscles to relax and rise from her seated position which had been guarding her kittens.
Nadya easily released a rumbling chuff of greeting to not just her Alpha but boyfriend. If it had been another member of the pack to arrive first she wasn't sure what would have happened or how she would feel. But that didn't matter though now that he was here. She trusted him to not allow anything to harm her kittens. It was an interesting feeling, unique...and rather elating, to be able to be with her kittens in their Were form and not have to be on guard all the time. Micah and Izzy had never seen a horse before. Micah's wide kitten eyes stared up at the massive creature that loomed above him. Nadya gently dipped her head to nudge him in reassurance when he gave a small mew at the puff Frost blew on him.
In her distraction with Micah and Frost's interaction she had lost track of Izzy. She was a quick and curious kitten that took full advantage of not being kept within the cage of her mother's legs once released. Frost's snort of irritation caused Nadya's head to jerk up in confusion...only to have a little heart attack seeing his hind leg raise in preparation to kick the curious Izzy who had taken to playing with his tail. The sting in her chest lingered though even after Frost lowered his leg, commenting on Izzy's discovery. Nadya's tail flicked in annoyance of her daughter before padding over to retrieve her, giving Frost's ankle a smack with a paw though ensuring her claws remained sheathed, just so he knew how much of a heart attack he gave her.
"Izzy, that isn't a toy, that's Frost's tail." Nadya scolded the spotted kitten as her jaws parted to snatch at her scruff. It was much harder to scruff them with how much they had grown, Izzy's curled back end dragging slightly along the ground causing Nadya to waddle slightly to avoid tripping over her. Nadya dropped the girl down back beside her brother to which Izzy thwapped and gnawed on Micah as if it was his fault for her getting caught. There was a method of picking and choosing your fights and this was not one of them. Nadya would let the pair settle it. Her yellow gaze returned to Frost, eyeing him for a moment before stepping up to him once more. He was much larger than any pack member she had had before and therefore it was a bit daunting but the panther rose onto her hind legs, using momentum and her species' agility to swipe from muzzle to her shoulder blade along Frost's chest. A purr reverberated in her chest as Nadya repeated back and forth on each side. The action not just gathered the pack scent on her, claiming her as Chimera, but also rubbing hers on him...so claiming him as hers.
Once Nadya was apparently satisfied with her work she settled back onto all fours, her tail flicking about to curl slightly around Frost's foreleg. "Is it just us tonight?" She thought by now his other members may have shown up.
