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.

It wasn't that difficult to stalk towards the imaginary scarecrow. Although it did feel odd to attack a human figure. It was against her nature to go after this particular target. It was one of the reasons why she hesitated. Attacking a human seemed...wrong. Even if this was just some sort of test it didn't make her feel comfortable. There were only a few times in her life when she actually attacked a human figure. The humans and Faes that kidnapped her witch and the occasional Dark Hunter that wanted to take her down. If he would have done an animal figure the lupine might be a bit more comfortable. After all she was accustomed to attacking prey animals for food or other Were-animals within the fighting ring. Maybe it was too easy and that's why he gave her a completely different target. Although knowing Frost there had to be some sort of trick, right? Maybe the scarecrow would attack. She didn't see any obvious weapon, but that didn't mean it didn't have any. The closer she got to the scarecrow the garbled voice in the back of her head grew louder, encouraging her to just attack it. The horse wanted to see them attack and her other-self was more than happy to oblige. It was just a shame that her feral side remained in control after the deed was done. There was one other figure she wanted to sink her teeth into. Charging towards him she snarled and barred her teeth at him as she attempted to shorten the distance between them.
Like all predatory creatures the object to take down one's opponent or prey was to knock them down. Knowing what sort of creature he could turn into, and wanting to stay away from those dinner-plated sized hooves she decided to shove the man down with her telekinesis. This way she wouldn't have to be stepped on. It was a shame he didn't fall down, but she was sure if she pounced on him, as she did with the scarecrow, he would fall down. As she was getting closer she found herself suddenly diving into the ground, losing what control she had over the body. No! Why couldn't the other see she was doing this for them. They didn't need the horse, she was sure of it. They survived on their own together. Upset she snapped at the air feeling whatever control she had start to disappear, being forced to go back into that cell the other had made. Raven could feel herself in control again. This isn't at all what she had in mind when he offered to help her. How was she going to get better if her other half wanted to do nothing but attack him? Slowly she got up on all four paws keeping her head low in a submissive gesture. Walking towards him her tail swayed a bit eagerly when she heard that very rare praise. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all? As she got closer she raised her head up, her tail still wagging when suddenly she launched upwards at him. Purposefully knocking him over she scrambled to stay on top of him. Once he crashed into the ground she moved to stand over him. Glaring at him she growled softly and then unceremoniously laid right on top of him, not caring at all he could easily shove her off now. Her broken words pressed forcefully in his head, the she-wolf wanting to know exactly what he is up to.
