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.

Earlier that day she had been running around the deeper part out the outskirts with her fox friend. The house her sister pack had provided her had been taken away. For the time being she and Alexis began to live within the abandoned Devil's Den. It was like a second home and it wasn't such a terrible thing. Though she had been concerned with Alexis throughout the ordeal. Back in Hyde Park she and Isolt attacked one of her cousins and that caused her sister pack to react and take everything away. She was never a materialistic person, but she felt guilty for making Alexis lose a safe place. Alexis was not pack, but with their unspoken shared past you might as well say there was some form of bond forged between the two through understanding and familiarity. For some reason Alexis needed to run off somewhere to do something, and no matter how hard she pressed, the young vixen kept her mouth shut and sped off. To entertain herself, before she had to entertain her spotted feline friend, she decided to venture through the outskirts to simply enjoy a spare moment of peace. There was much to think about. Weeks had gone by since she had seen the enigmatic green-eyed panther that provided her an invitation she never thought to receive from him or anyone else. In the back of her mind she had created a list of pros and cons to joining a were-pack filled with felines. She never had a problem with were-creatures of different species, but she never saw a pack with multispecies making her wonder if it was even possible. Tetradore's offer seemed too good to be true.
As the lupine continued to walk while the sun began to set a faint familiar scent could be caught on the last dying winds of summer. It had been awhile since she had seen Nadya and she had been wanting to speak to the young woman for some time now. Already she told Tobias about his leader's invitation and he seemed thrilled at the idea, already forcing her to submit and recognize his rank, but she hadn't even told the WerePanther her decision. Though no matter how often she tried to remind Tobi she wasn't truly in the pack he simply ignored her. At the zoo she was unaware that the panther she had escaped with was the very same individual that Tobi considered to be a brother. She had been far too concerned with escaping and playing with the armadillos than to catch his scent or the faint scent of Tobi and Nadya on him. The only reason she even knew Nadya was in the same pack was due to Tobi talking and explaining the way things worked in their like group, easily connecting the dots for her without her request. It troubled her though, that when she told Tobi, Tetradore hadn't told him. So, she felt she needed to say something to Nadya before she went off to go find the big black cat. Grey paws would bring the she-wolf towards the stream, inquisitive blue-grey eyes narrowed as she caught the familiar figure of some feline lying beside the stream. Lowering her head in a non-threatening manner she walked slowly towards the other, her tail flicking side to side in a friendly manner. Softly she spoke to Nadya her tone hinting a note of anxiety.
"um...Nadya? Could I...have a word with you?"
Her approach still was slow each step she took held some sort of caution. It wasn't that she was afraid of Nadya. Raven still was learning about her and she was trying to form some sort of trust with the woman. When she and Alexis went shopping, she remained friendly, but still was wary about her all together. She sensed some form of dislike, a very small thing, but it was there and she reacted naturally to it- to be a bit defensive. With a gracious amount of space between the two the lupine would shift into a sitting position, her grey plume curled neatly by her paws. Displaying a sense of amity to the WerePanther was her ultimate goal. She wasn't quite sure what Nadya's reaction would be. They weren't friends, but they were enemies either. Tobi loved the idea and she wasn't sure what Tetradore thought of extending his invitation, but she could only assume it was a good thing or he wouldn't have done it in the first place. A moment of uneasy silence was filled with the sound of cicadeas and circkets now...the sky was nearly dark and the sun was almost gone. A grey paw pawed at the soil in a nervous way, the same habit she would do if she were in her human form, grey-trimmed ears pointed in the cat's direction. With a heavy sigh her head would lower, her eyes every now and then look up at Nadya's in a shy manner.
"Your brother, Tetra as Tobi calls him, we were stuck in a zoo. We managed to help each other out, but when we got free...he invited me in his pack. I didn't ask, I didn't know who he was, Tobi told me, and he didn't know about the invitation. I haven't given Tetradore an answer, but I did want to let you know."
The lupine had no idea what she was supposed to expect, but her wary form remained sitting in the same spot. A part of her felt like she had done the right thing to tell Nadya, but another part of her was telling her she might of made a huge mistake.
