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.

we all fall down like toy soldiers


He'd decided to get out and wander the city. The last time he was around he hadn't really ventured beyond his brothers apartment or very far from where the garage he was working at at the time. For him to go from that to a year away and back again was nothing short of amazing. A testament to how strongly he felt about his mission, the way he'd walked away from his family for all that time. Something he would never have done, he would willingly walk into fire for them and returned burned if only they were unharmed.

His boots clicked on the pavement, his hands shoved into the pockets of the hoodie he was wearing. He liked wide-open places; the park was the perfect place to be able to draw something different. He tilted his face up towards the moon, letting the sliver shine upon his face and it was something he would have liked to draw. There were things that he wasn't aware of, too blind to see what was in front of his face despite the fact that his siblings all possessed magic.

He came upon the young woman moments later; she looked to be around his age, and cold. He sidles up close to her with no warning, pulling the pack of smokes out of his pocket and flipping open his zippo to light it. The red at the end flared to life and for the briefest of moments he let the flame burn longer than he needed to.

He shot her a look, grey eyes flicking up and down to assess her before tilting the box out towards her, "Smoke? You look a bit cold..." He said, and if not for the fact that he only had the one jacket, he probably would have forked it over to her. He was just that type of person.

"What are you doing out this way? Withâ€"" He pauses, and glances at her again "No jacket." It wasn't like him to question other people, but he was curiously. She'd been doing the exact same thing he was just moments before, how he wished he could have drawn her right then. He touched the messenger bag over his shoulder, a comfort deal to make sure it was still safe and sound.
