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.

The fact that her son still hadn't made an appearance down the aisle in his designated roll of ring bearer had Nadya fretting. She had been worried about this the entire time; there were simply too many strangers looking at him. Nadya's worry though eased when Isolt crouched down, beckoning down the aisle to where Micah stood cowering. She watched as he seemed to debate this new situation before deciding it was safe and making that hurried dash down the aisle and into Isolt's waiting arms. He would do fine under Isolt's guidance which allowed Nadya to relax with a warm smile watching the pair. Once Micah had handed over both rings, Nadya ushered him over to her for the remainder of the ceremony. She was pleasantly surprised that the twins sat through the entire thing, albeit it playing with the remaining petals in the basket at her feet...was better than becoming bored, whining, and fidgeting the entire time.
The end of the ceremony saw the guests rise, joyous from the celebration and ready for the after party. "Time go you, good job you two. Let's go say goodbye to auntie Isolt." Nadya rose and gathered the twins. Izzy's request to keep all the petals and the basket answered simply with a nod. Hand in hand she led them around the party in the direction Isolt had gone. Though her gaze found her brother easily, wrapped around an equally as dark-haired woman, she easily swept right over. His affection had always been reserved for those not of his blood. After the last time of him walking out and then ignoring the twins she had ceased trying to continue a relationship with him. It no long hurt when someone spoke of him and even though Isolt had mentioned he would be there, she found it didn't hurt to see him either. So much time had passed, her heart had healed and she had found happiness in her pack. The twins were so young when it happened and the amount of time that had passed meant no recognition would pass in their eyes which only made the event easier. The only acknowledgement to the other guests Nadya gave as they weaved was to Sebastian as she breezed past, offering him a small smile and nod of acknowledgement before moving on.
"Hey, congratulations." Nadya breathed finally having found Isolt. "I'm going to head out, it's past the twins bedtime." She wrapped her arms around Isolt in a warm hug. "You look absolutely stunning...and I can't wait to meet it." The last comment but a whisper for Isolt. She knew Isolt would be a great mother because without her Nadya wouldn't have had a clue what to do with the twins when they had been born. She owed everything to the redhead before her. Nadya nudged each child in turn to give their goodbye hug before taking their hands once more and slipping away from the party.
