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.

What You'll Find Here

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.

South
i'm not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

All day today she had been a bit, well...anxious. She could hardly keep herself focused working in Tetradore's office. There were a few things that she needed to fix up before she left Tetradore all by himself. The year was coming to an end and they needed to wrap up a few things and they needed to begin a few things before the dreaded season of taxes. Taxes. With all the new laws that Congress passed she had to make sure they still qualified for certain items that kept their business from being taxed a bit too much. Money was money and there was no shame in wanting to keep as much money for themselves as they possibly could. Besides they had a lot of expenses this year, especially after all the damages that occurred within the Ark after the Ape pack attempted to take her packs' control over the West. The next time a pack wanted to challenge them they really ought to do it in the West, or the South. Hell, they could do it anywhere in the world as long as it wasn't within the Ark. Yes, insurance did help cover the damages, but they had to pay for workers comp, and let's be honest here â€" healthcare is wicked expensive. Tetradore had done so much for her. He essentially paid for everything for their wedding and he wasn't that upset with her when he found the Ark in such a catastrophic state. The least she could do for the wildcat was to help make sure everything was in complete order so he wouldn't have to worry so much about it. Then again he had Mira to keep him company, so that was a good thing too! Her anxiety didn't have anything to do with the paperwork. Rather it was because she was going to spend the night with Frost.


The last time they were in the South was when they made the trade. She provided him the money she had saved to pay for his knowledge on those medallions she had collected over the years. Raven was kind enough to provide him a tin of cookies too. As the daughter of the Alpha within her pack she should have been treated as one. The lupine should have been told what the medallion meant and why it was significant that their pack contained it. When she was a young pup she knew the significance behind the name 'Talbot.' A Talbot was the first man that was a werewolf and on her Mother's line she was a descendant from that werewolf. The Alpha medallion her Father wore was always a mystery to her. That night when she attacked she was sane enough to remember to rip that medallion from his neck. When she and the were-horse were here he had given her a book that contained the stories he grew up with and gave her the opportunity to learn from him on how to control that feral side of herself. It was absolutely ridiculous that he thought he could help her with such a thing. When she told Tetradore about it he didn't seem bothered by it at all. He wasn't encouraging about her going to Frost for assistance on this, but he didn't seem upset that she could go to him for help. It felt weird going to another Alpha for help on such a sensitive matter, but if he was fine with it...she could give it a shot. The last thing she wanted was to harm her new family as she did with her old one.


As soon as she was finished with her work she grabbed a little small duffle bag from her room and headed down towards the bottom of the ship to take her car and drive it south. After she parked her car in the in the park's parking lot she grabbed a small duffle bag and headed across the park towards the woods. That apprehension she felt only increased as she continued her trek through the woods finding a secluded clearing. Every now and then she would brush her shoulder against a tree marking it with her scent so the were-horse would have a better chance of finding her. Once she found a spot that seemed good enough for this...exercise...she sighed in misery. Heading towards a tree she would lean against the trunk and slide down against it shaking her head miserably. Opening up the duffle bag she grabbed the book Frost had given her, reading the last few chapters within the book. There was also a tin of lemon bars she had prepared for him. Perhaps reading a little bit, until he came, would help settle her nerves. She stayed absolutely quiet ignoring the woodland creatures that could brave the cold, her nose stuck in the book, waiting patiently for Frost to come along.
