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.

 It is rare indeed to find the man within the swaths of his equine skin within the bright light of day, Frost so often preferring his human guise amongst the confines of a city so littered with predators, a place in which a misplaced equine is so often easily noted- the young man hardly foolish enough to draw more attention to himself then is required, allowing his animal form within the confines of the city only when in the presence of his newfound....Hunter companion, a relationship he hardly chooses to dwell on in this moment. He has perhaps broken his own code this particular winter day, allowed himself this transformation to beast rather then boy and yet as always there is a purpose to this action, his senses heightened within this form, the very earth itself in possession of a vastly different array of scents that so captivate his attention now. For half a moment he is given to wonder if Crow hunts today, the wolf surely doing as so many others do in utilising this area of the city, so untamed amongst the concrete jungle, as a hunting area to satisfy those more primal urges the man has no desire to facilitate for her- her scent however, does not exist within the air, her presence further from his mind and as such the white gold animal remains assured of his solitude. This area of the city has long been of interest, the open expanses and ever abundant nature a contrast to the cinder block and polluted air the rest of Sacrosanct provided. It appeals to both his animalistic side and his human desires, this area....valuable and so far seemingly...unclaimed. The thoughts of such domination have merely presented themselves to his mind before the distinct and sudden presence of another is given to permeate the concealed thoughts of his mind, violet eyes lifted to peer into the depths of the forest as neat ears prick forward atop his skull and above thickened, tussled lashings of snowy mane. He can very near taste the other were upon the wind and yet it is not so much her species that seems to unfurl his curiosity so much as the very nature of her form. Outside the Hunting union that had paid it's visit some nights before it is rare to find another equine, especially one outside his own bloodline and the reaches of the culture in which he had been born. Yet he is assured her scent is new, unknown and as such warrants some modicum of question within the mind of the towering stallion. His own hooves move to carry him forward now, pace far less than that of his galloping companion and yet it is rare indeed for Frost to engage in any motion of frivolity, his own steps a measured control that permit a more softly falling hoof, a more silent approach as the cremello coated horse pauses upon the edge of the clearing, violet gaze peering beneath that ever-present forelock of hair to watch the buckskin mare as she races, each limb extended in that joyous embrace of speed to which few are truly afforded in any form. It is the notion of a mare however, that so sees the stallion press forward. He waits until her pace falters, until she slows, hardly willing to exert the actual effort it would take to chase down her lighter form, his own frame heavier- of draft blood, designed for the mountains and snows, designed for charges, battles...war, feathered feet lifting into a trot. Some actions are inborn, animalistic and ingrained, the young man near incapable of preventing the manner in which that powerful neck arches over, tail slightly lifted and feet high stepping now in a manner that sees each muscle gleam and roll, long mane sweeping down and across his features- moving as any stallion surely does towards something....pleasing to the eye. A low rumbling moves to vibrate within his chest, a whickering sound unique to his own kind, announcing his own presence in as much as he seeks to gain her attention. He pauses to her left, ears held forward now, head turned slightly to the left so as to better eye the buckskin before him, having no desire to hid hide his clear examination of her before a huff expels from those white gold nostrils, one eye lifting slightly beneath that forelock of snow. My, my, aren't you a bold one..... Those smooth, cool lyrics resound easily towards his equine counterpart, the stallion moving to side step suddenly, long limbs carrying the male in a sudden arc around and behind the mare, lips pulling into what very near appears to be a smirk of sorts in as much as he is capable of such a thing- toying with the girl in some manner and yet observing her from every angle all the same- flank brushing against her own as he passes once more to return to her head. running all over MY nice clearing and without even so much as an invitation. That long tail lashes against his limbs, a rumbling chuckle of sorts vibrating into the air as he resides before her now, his own form blocking her path with it bulk. He is used to mares, has spent years in their company, the community in which he had been raised rather assuring he....understood entirely what they were for from a young age, affording the boy both a desire and a respect- to some extent for the creatures. Though whether this one would prove to be of value remained to be seen. |
