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. 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.

And watch them come true
The feline's plan was going perfectly. The adrenaline rush that came from chasing the rabbit cleared her mind of all her tumultuous thoughts. The intent was to keep the chase going for as long as possible until she more or less passed out from sheer exhaustion. Only then could she finish out the cycle of the full moon in peace. How different it was from her memories of being surrounded by her pack, whether that had been just her brother and Tobias or her adoptive pack. How much she wished for that again. Alas, it seemed like this solitude would be her new normal. Or perhaps not.
Nadya's unfamiliarity with the surrounding area meant she was unprepared for her prey to bound into a small clearing and straight into its burrow. A surge of energy was shot out, causing the earth by the burrow entrance to explode in attempt to scare it away but it was mere seconds too late. A growl of frustration vibrated in her chest as the ebony jaguar swiped within the tunnel in search of the furry prey. It was that shift of motion from the corner of her eye atop the large rock that had Nadya leaping several feet back. Her attention had been so glued to the hare that she hadn't seen another lazing upon it. Only once the feline deemed it a safe distance did she lower to her haunches and regard the male with those piercing golden eyes. Miss? How...formal and...polite. Nadya tilted her head curiously at his response to her claiming he stole her dinner.
The male's idea was logical and yet Nadya had no care to have him upon his high rock as she was distracted below. What was to say that wasn't his plan? Coerce her into letting her guard down with chivalry then pounce when she was least expecting it? No, she thought not. Though she still wanted that hare. The wheels churned in her head as she glanced between the burrow entrance and the male. "Counter offer..." Nadya mused lightly, "you could cease playing Pride Rock and help me. If you stand at the other end you can flush it out over here and I can get it." He could do that much she was sure. She rose from her haunches, pacing back and forth at that line she had deemed a safe distance. "Unless you have a female nearby already doing all the hunting for you?" In her knowledge, male lions hardly did any of the hunting, their size and manes preventing them the grace necessary for a chase. No, they were surprise animals that relied on their sheer weight instead. It did make her curious if he was truly as alone as he appeared though. For all she knew there was a female nearby that would be leaping out at her at any moment. A cautionary gaze lingered on the foliage around them, surveying every rustle of grass or leaves as either breeze or enemy. It simply meant Nadya was not about to let her guard down...not yet.
