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.

It was always the easiest option to take the twins to the beach for a day in the sun. Even though it was an open landscape with no fences to keep them in, it somehow proved less stressful than chasing them around the park or aquarium. The beach left fewer options for them to pull her in so many directions as they oft did; it was either the water or playing in the sand. They had spent some time splashing around at the water each time a wave came up to lick at their feet. Izzy and Micah were still far too young for any true swimming in the ocean but still found delight in the water coming up to their shins and digging in the wet sand in attempt to catch those little sand crabs.
As the sun wore on Nadya gathered them back to their blanket laid out amongst the many others up on the dry sand. They nibbled on their sandwiches and goldfish watching the other beach goers in silence. Micah's eyes began to droop for lack of a nap and began to become fussy about it. "Come here, you're fine." Nadya gathered her son so his head was laid on her lap, holding a cap above his head to create some shade as she stroked his back. Izzy was having none of the nap idea though she was bored with her own toys and began to look at the other people situated around them.
Her attention caught on the man only a few feet away with his canopy and a delightful colorful thing sticking out of the ground. While her mother was occupied soothing her brother, the three year old decided to investigate as was natural not just for her age but also her feline nature. The little hispanic girl eyed the man with his meal before her wide inquisitive gaze turned to the board she now found herself standing next to. The child was drawn to others of their kind even if she couldn't tell why. Nadya had only turned her attention away from Micah now that he had closed his eyes to see she had lost a child to the occupant nearby. "Izzy, no, leave it." Her little fingers were outstretched to touch the surfboard. Dear lord that child was going to be the end of her more and more like her father everyday.
Nadya had to steel herself to the pitiful whines of her son as she disturbed his rest and carried him the few feet over. "I'm sorry, she's very curious about your surfboard. She liked watching everyone out there in the waves." She offered the man a warm smile hoping he would be too upset about a toddler investigating his things.
