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.

Nadya listened as Frost indulged her on her musings about yaks. She had never thought about Mongolia as a place to visit. Was there even anything there of significant value to sightsee? Though she knew that would never stop Frost since he enjoyed quiet open land. Frost didn't elaborate on what it was he found and Nadya didn't question about it. It fell in the realm of his work. She frequently struggled between disliking his job and not wanting to hear anything about it to wanting to know what he goes off and does all day.
All Nadya could do was answer Frost's question. The loss of the baby turning her attention on the twins to fully notice how much they had grown. How desperately she felt that she had lacked in teaching them how to be Weres. She fell silent once more, taking a moment before she was composed enough to look up at Frost. Of course she knew there was more to it than that but it was a factor as well. It was perhaps one of the few times in which the roles were reversed. Nadya had been the one to try and lengthen their childhood while Frost insisted on preparing them for the world. His reassurance meant the world to her though.
"I.." She was relatively caught off guard by Frost bringing up the night of the miscarriage. Though that was part of the reason they were there was it not? "You left so soon afterwards...and with not calling...- I thought you regretted having me as your mate. That you didn't want me anymore. I decided to focus on my worry about the twins. When you returned you still...felt...gone. Working all the time. I just continued with the twins." Nadya shifted slightly to bring herself leaning closer to Frost. "But we can be better again; you came and that tells me that you still care. I just think we need to get away from it all...a little restart. It doesn't even have to be somewhere exotic, we could just go to the next town over for a change of scenery."
The soft smile that had begun to tilt the corners of her lips faltered slightly at the thought of trying again. Was she ready for that? Ready for the risk again? Sometimes she wasn't sure her heart could handle it if she miscarried again or if they couldn't conceive again. But...she wanted a family with him near desperately. How had she managed to fall so deeply in love with him? Nadya looked back at Frost, finally breaking from her thoughts to realize the silence surely hadn't put Frost as ease. "...Yes." She finally whispered before leaning forward to brush her lips against his as one hand rested gently at the side of his face. "I would enjoy that." A smirk played on her lips against his as she stole his previous line.
