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.

There was a certain point in the forest Felicity passed, a border of some sort, over which she stepped and was suddenly trapped. One moment the sleek inkspill of a wolf was slipping through the foliage with no particular destination, and the next she was driven forward with some instinct she did not recognize but which was so strong she could do nothing but obey.

She could not go back now.

It took her several miles to realize what had so enraptured her about this particular stretch of forest: there were other Night creatures here. She did not care so much for vampires or hunters, but if there were others like Felicity herself... having spent almost her entire life in solitude up until now, how could she resist?

She sped forward, ravenously curious as to what lay at the other end of these thick, too-alive trees. Around her, leaves and brambles and bark turned silvery with frost, creating a path of subtle iridescence that stretched behind her. The air around her was crisp and wintry, and her breath misted. The sky was paling, and though the sun had yet to break the horizon, Felicity picked up her pace. She did not have much time. Once the early-autumn sun touched the air around her, her chill would not be enough to keep her cool, and she would have to slow her pace.

It was not as bad as summer, and as the days shortened and the nights cooled so that the sun could warm the air increasingly less during the day, Felicity would grow stronger.

For now, though, she had only her chilly air, and that was not enough to get her to edge of the forest. As the sun rose and melted the frost from her surroundings, the black wolf halted. This forest was thick and provided adequate shade for her to continue, but who knew what was waiting for her beyond the protective shade of the trees?

It was better to wait in the Outskirts and continue again when the shadows grew long and the light and warmth faded into night.
