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.

Taking another bite of his sandwich, Ashton sighed contently as he raised his beer to his lips and took a sip to wash it down. The sun was still beating hard down on the others out in the water and he had to remind himself that he should probably put some sunscreen on before he went out again.

Something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye, drawing his thoughts away from the application of sunscreen and into a little girl who appeared mesmerized by his surfboard. He took a quite look just around the little girl, looking for who the child belonged to. The last thing he wanted to do was look like he was luring children under his canopy with the promise of food. His question was answered rather quickly when the child's mother shouted from the gathering of beach supplies just next to him.

As the woman began to come towards him and thus effectively waking and upsetting her other child (which looked to be around the same age), he shook his head. "It's no problem, ma'am. I don't mind." He offered the woman a smile as he set down his beer and his sandwich to stand when she finally came to rest under his canopy. It was rude for him to do otherwise. "She's welcome to explore it. I enjoy fostering the love for surfing with others." He reached over to pull the surfboard out of the sand and remove the fins. He set the board flat on the sand so the children could both step on it if they wanted. "If your mother allows it, you're welcome to stand on it." He offered the two little children a smile before turning his gaze onto their mother.

Ashton was relatively knew to the area, still getting used to the people here and their abilities and affinities. He could sense that this family was much like himself, able to turn into creatures on a whim. And yet, he offered no acknowledgement of this fact. Instead, he extended his hand to her. "My name is Ashton...Ashton Doss. It is my pleasure to meet you all. I do hope you are enjoying this mighty fine weather." His voice was soft and soothing, the deep southern drawl clearly evident.
