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.

RAVEN; there's beauty in the breakdown

It is difficult to say with any true modicum of certainty why it is that she has chosen the park for this evening's ventures. Her quest for this eve is very much the same as it had been for those that had come before it... a quest for a reminder, a reason to be found for why she might choose to linger here. For a great and generous while following her untimely death, the fledgling vampire had bartered with herself to remain within Sacrosanct, where so few beautiful memories were left to battle the tumult within... tainted and battered by the circumstances that had been dealt her. And so why she had chosen the park, where no good fortune had ever befallen her, was an enigma to which there was no concrete solution. Perhaps the answer required no scrupulous dissection; perhaps Isolt had merely chosen this locale for its isolation, for its solitude and the impenetrable quietude that was its trademark.

Quietude that was abruptly splintered by the frantic skittering of pigeons within the dried and discarded undergrowth... and the echoes of footfalls upon the same carpet of fermenting flora. With a certain measure of hesitance does the young auburn-haired girl rise to her feet, crystalline eyes gleaming in the moonlight as they swivel about, surveying the pregnant shadows that writhe before her. An ineffectual effort it would seem, for it is the thickly-accented voice of the unseen that greets her rapt ears moments before she is to lay eyes upon his figure. "So we meet again, Vampire," comes the sickly sweet notes upon the night's crisp zephyr, the telltale German heft of each syllable breeding a phantom chill to kiss the deadened nerves along the curvature of her spine. He emerges, looking every bit as domineering as he had during their previous encounter, the flame of hatred, of vengeance, a tangible thing as it burns within his light-colored eyes. "You will pay for what you and the monster have done." The words are a mere whisper, a verbal kiss to which Isolt can no sooner formulate a response before a chorus of low rumbles seeks to rattle the marrow of her bones.

Canine figures emerge, birthed of the shadows, to encircle the slender redhead, their cacophony of snarls mounting until they are very nearly deafening. Isolt's eyes flicker to the approaching figures for a moment marked by brevity, mounting anxiety dictating that she dared not remove her eyes from the blonde gentleman before her for too long a time. And it is rightly so, for as his eyes bore into hers, a subtle nodding of his head heralds the gnashing of teeth and the sudden rushing of paws upon earth.
