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 was only too happy to let the calm moment be; to be worry-free and watch her children play in safety. It was an old saying that raising children took a village but it was far too true. Knowing she had this help not just in Frost but in how Malia had behaved helped solidify to her that joining him was the right thing to do. In honesty she couldn't wait to get to see his home and to see the twins running about the backyard which they had only ever had at her parents.
Those thoughts were put aside, pulling her attention back to her stallion as he answered her worried thoughts that his mother wouldn't approve of her. There were parents who didn't approve of the man and still stayed with him, but the approval of a man's mother seemed to be the deciding factor on if a couple stayed together. Frost though eased those thoughts as he had so many. He was a skilled talker, Nadya already knew that; he could talk a drowning man into buying water. This was different though, how he was with her and spoke to her was different. "I've always wanted to travel." Was her only response to the topic of having to take longer to get home. Her parents would happily care for the twins as they had been doing before her brother passed and even when she was forced to separate from them completely for a few months.
It seemed meeting parents was new for both of them. In the pack she grew up in, well everyone knew everyone so there was no need for introduction when couples formed. Nadya had no idea what her parents would think of Frost. "They live about two hours North of here. It's a small town and our pack lives in a compound at the edge up against 100 acres of woods." Micah half tumbled half slid from Frost's side at his siblings pushes to get passed him to explore along his shoulders. Nadya gently nuzzled into her son's scruff in reassurance as he sought comfort against her.
"I haven't...told them about you. The last I spoke to them was to tell them that Aiden had passed away." Nadya hadn't had to explain how or by whom her brother had met his end to her parents. Her loss of her biological parents kept her adoptive one understanding that loss didn't need a string of questions attached to it. If she wished to share then she would. Her searched gaze looked back at him. "This...us...is still new and I didn't want to say anything unless it was for sure."
