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.

Not everyone knew about her mate's two personas. She herself wasn't quite aware of them until they both said something. It was surprising! To witness two completely different people living inside one body was...stunning, rare. Well, maybe not as rare. After all she had something else inside her. Maybe not the same as Tobias, but she knew this other was beyond different from herself. Frost's description of what he could hear inside her spotted companion mate's mind. It wasn't surprising to hear that Tobias' sane side would be difficult to hear. After all his presence was quite rare. It wasn't like she got to see him every night. In fact she hadn't seen him since...they went out to find himself a ring after his wilder side proposed to her. They talked about the wedding, but more importantly on the idea whether or not they should have a family. He was the one that taught her it was possible that she could give him a child after she long believed mixed species couldn't carry the other's offspring. At the end of that conversation they never did decide whether or not they would...it would be something to chat about later. If he ever did come back. His comment that it was unfortunate he was not more present she nodded softly in agreement. It was unfortunate. He was trapped within his own body. She loved both of them, but she wished it wasn't such a struggle, she wished they could both be happy. However, she wished she and her other half could be happy too. That creature within her was not pleased at all they were here and so close to him too. When he came too close she couldn't hold that growl in. Raven knew exactly what he did before, but he wasn't here to harm her. Why could that other side see that. Ashamed she lowered her head visibly trying to apologize.
There were few times in wish she simply allowed her other half to have that full control. Some things she just couldn't handle and she knew that. However, there were times when she needed to be in control. Her hands instantly went towards one another as she grabbed those fingers, trying to calm and settle herself down as that buzzing in the back of her head only intensified. There was no reason to attack Frost. And yet she could hear those snarls of frustration those dark thoughts turning quite deadly at the idea of attacking the Were-Horse. It was a trap. It had to be. Why else would he request them in the middle of the woods far away from their pack? He had motives. Bad motives. No...no that was wrong, all wrong. He was helping. If he didn't want to help he wouldn't have showed up in the first place. She would continue to hold her hands together keeping herself grounded and still, afraid to make the slightest movement. Her attention on Frost stopped the moment she saw an unfamiliar figure materialize to his left. Blue-grey eyes narrowed. That scarecrow wasn't always there...was it? See it was a trick, a trick. A low growl could be heard as she shook her head attempting to rid herself of this vision...this couldn't be possible. It was like that horse and the wolves, and the snow the last time they were in the woods together. That didn't go wrong...it was okay...this vision was okay too. That question on what she would do to attack the scarecrow made her head tilt to the side curiously. With a shrug of her shoulders she replied gently.
Well, he asked. She wasn't the type to kill another unless it was necessary. Her head titled the other way as she listened to that other voice. A frown appeared on her face for a moment. Nodding her head in agreement she would speak on her behalf since the other couldn't speak for herself. With a sigh she responded gruffly.
As soon as she went quiet she whimpered quite softly. She didn't want to repeat what her other half thought. And yet she could feel the other start to take control, in a foreign body, as a human. That pain in her head only throbbed, internally she beseeched desperately not to repeat what her other side said. The other side managed to gain the upper hand in the internal struggle. Her voice didn't sound normal at all. In fact it sounded guttural and completely off, topped off with a maniacal grin.
