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. 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.

It was easy to see that whiskey wasn't something of the norm that Dorian chose to drink but at least he was holding his own. He certainly got points for that. Troy wondered what he usually drank but then Dorian agreed with him about it and he could tell he was really trying not to squeak the words out past the burn. It was quite amusing but he was going to behave for once and only smirk knowingly as he nodded and held up his glass in a toast before taking another sip. It seemed he wasn't the only fae attracted to those that were supposed to be the bane of his very existence. He never would have thought he'd fall in love with a vampire and yet here he was. Dorian had been bit by the bug too, it would seem. He was curious of their relationship and how it came about. He wondered if Dorian let his boyfriend bite him. Not that he could say anything against it since he himself had been letting Amelia do it and it was always him asking her to.

He totally believed that if he had not requested it, Amelia would probably have never asked. She admitted that she had not drank from live veins for centuries. She had been drinking from cups and blood bags. He was shocked that he actually found pleasure in her biting him. It turned him on and he didn't understand it at all. He knew that he would never let another vampire bite him but somehow when Amelia did it, it was okay. It was more than okay. He did have thoughts on the baby too, what exactly it would be. It could be human for all he knew, or it could be vampire, like its mother. It could have fae in it, like him. He had no idea and he was curious but somehow he knew he would love it either way. He nodded in agreement when Dorian said that he believed people met for a reason.

"I couldn't agree more. Cheers to that."

He held up his glass for a toast, watching Dorian take smaller sips. His lip quirked in amusement. He was disappointed to find that Dorian had no idea to take over a monarchy himself. He rather thought it would fit Dorian to have a title. It seemed like he was used to being royalty anyway. But as long as he was happy, Troy was happy. When he asked about Andras, he could see the instant recognition on Dorian's face. He leaned in a little, curious to know that the other fae had to say about this guy. He was interested to know Dorian met him before Sacrosanct and that he had indeed had a monarchy at the time. Troy nodded, confirming what Andras had told him himself. When Dorian paused, he kept his patience, letting the other fae think before saying more since apparently he was taking into account that Troy was only considering the idea because of his unborn child.

He nodded when Dorian finished explaining. He felt that Andras was a good guy so maybe it was worth a shot. But first he would need to know the fae leader's ideas on vampires.

"Do you know his opinions of vampires? I couldn't have him protecting the mother of my child if he has any ill intentions toward her kind."

He would have no doubts and maybe that made him a hypocrite since he himself had hated all vampires before meeting her but when it came to his growing family, he would risk nothing, especially their safety.
