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.

Hold onto this lullaby; even when the music is gone
Posted on January 21, 2015 by Claire Grace
It was as if the world had turned over, assaulting her senses with names and faces and smells that Claire could turn in any direction, and there the assailing new people would be. Though skittish by nature, the inclusion of so many innovative things had sent Claire reeling into a spiral of confusion and uncertainty, thickening her skittish tendencies. It had only been so recently that her father had wanted to expand beyond their family, adding non-familial pack members to their rapidly growing group. The young woman had never met so many new people in her life, and yet suddenly every moment was filled with a new name, or a new face to remember. The snow played between the pads of her feet, soaking through the fur that was intended to keep her warm. The chill seeped through her coat like a bone-freezing wind, causing her fur to stand on end. Though her fur had puffed a decent amount Claire's body tensed as if to fight the frigid feeling, as if shrinking smaller than her seven, or eight pound body might give J ack Frost cause to send his snow and wind elsewhere.
While freezing and generally uncomfortable, the appearance that Claire was smaller than a feline often worked to her advantage as those noticing her generally didn't have cause to worry by the white furball that could just as easily be mistaken as a small dog, as it might be for an adorable fluffy fox that the girl shifted into. And while the raw, dead animal's scent had already begun to leak into her nostrils, Claire sighed in satisfaction as it reminded her that the animalistic part of her was still in-tact as safely and strongly as it always had been, regardless of the newness of her surroundings and life. Had Claire begun to rely solely on food that stated her humanistic desires, she felt as if she would have lost touch with this side of her life and somehow, lost a part of her that was far more special than that of her biped form. The ability to consume the raw animal allowed her to fully embody the vulpine that had overcome her, feeling that it was an affinity to which all were-animals were delighted in, enjoying what their true were-animal instincts offered them
At the suggestion that she should stay, Claire tilted her head gently as if encouraged by this offer. There was nothing she needed to say to make the feline believe she would cower off, and so instead the girl felt her body relax some â€" just slightly. "I have a pack," Claire insisted, though her words were wrought with confusion. This woman's brother was the only alpha in the city? What did that mean for Frost? Silently, the questions began to swirl and encourage Claire to pick up the vole between her teeth and trot along side the woman in order to meet this fox that she had mentioned also existed in the city. Another fox? The idea was exciting, though potentially petrifying as Claire realized it was yet another being she had to meet. Another face, another name... Unintentionally, her teeth sank further into the vole, though that didn't stop her mental reply. "With my pack!" She stated, her eyes brightening at the idea that the city might not be a cold, lonely place after all.
