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.

She thought people said it got easier the older your kids got, but perhaps that was only when dealing with one...and definitely not when they were three. Nadya had promised the twins a beach day for their day off from preschool and for some reason that she couldn't remember now had taken the task on alone. Due to the sudden good weather it was much busier than usual and as such a bit more difficult to keep the twins reigned in. Between the other children with toys and people walking their dogs, Nadya wasn't sure who she was telling to mind their manners the most.
As the day shifted into evening Nadya managed to gather the twins and all their things. "Mama, mama, look!" Izzy pointed excitedly at the lounging seals at the shores edges near the pier. "I see, those are seals." Nadya hardly cast a second glance as she ushered her daughter forward, holding to her son's hand and hauling their beach bag in her other. "I wanna see aminals." Izzy decided to declare and switch her attention to the large aquarium situated at the other side of the pier. "It's getting late, Izzy, it's going to close soon." The quivering of Izzy's bottom lip at Nadya's explanation drew a sigh from the worn young mother. "Ok, we can go in for a little bit but you have to change out of your swimsuit first." Even just an hour would satisfy her and at least it gave Frost some more time in the peace and quiet of an empty house.
Nadya trudged her brood to the parking lot, tossing their things in the trunk and began to strip them of their sandy wet swimsuits into dry clothes. She was only halfway through dressing Micah before Izzy decided her patience, or memory of the command to stay put, could no longer hold her in place and darted from her spot. "Izzy!" Nadya fumbled to grab Micah and follow her daughter whom had zipped around the front of the car, only to collide with an unsuspecting woman. Izzy rebounded from the collision, by no means hurt but slightly dazed as her young brain computed the abrupt stop. Nadya heaved with both relief and embarrassment when she came around to see Izzy's path had been halted. Not running from her and in a parking lot no less was a lesson they were apparently needing to go over again.
Nadya set Micah down and took Izzy's hand to pull her a few steps back from the woman. "Izzy, what do you say when you bump into someone?" Izzy blinked up at the stranger before mumbling, "Sorry." Nadya turned her full attention on the woman now with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that, she's a little over excited on wanting to get to the aquarium before it closes. Don't suppose you want one? I have a spare." Nadya joked lightly. She truly loved her children but like any parent there were the good and bad days.
