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 places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

Even within their current forms the bond of pack very near seems to hum between them, affirmed entirely by the presence of the newborns that exist within their parents arms in this rare moment of contented silence. His ability to comprehend the situation before him is perhaps limited at best and yet his animalistic side- those instincts inborn are far more assured of the situation. He can scent his own blood within the children, understands they are his in one way or another- they are pack, to be protected and this is all the Leopard within him truly requires to understand, even if his human side remains at a loss to so much of what has occurred tonight. He is as any animal, the investment of young an undertaking not to be taken lightly, a possessive- obsessive desire seeming to twist about his children in that moment as he clings tighter to his daughter, even though this is a word he has no yet learned- attention deviating from his charge only at Nadya's murmured words, affirming his own understanding. They are his. All three beings before him. His. He is sure- they need to protect increased tenfold in these few moments in which hormones and pheromones run his, permeating the air about Mother and Newborns, demanding a guardian response from the shaggy haired deviant now as he asks after the kittens names.
"M...Mic....Micah."
The word is achieved at last, mind seeming to find some acceptance of this phrase before nodding. The matter of naming is lost upon the boy, Tobias unable to understand the importance of such a task. After all- names are nothing but words, callings, the man given to identify others by scent and sight before the name they are given- mind far more capable of this understanding then the importance of a name and yet Micah is committed to memory, lodged firmly within his mind, along with the scent and sight of the kitten before Nadya's words see those fathomless dark eyes lift upward to her own once more as she asks for him to name the girl within his arms. For a moment his head simply tilts, confusion seeming to mar his gaze, eyes flicking from Nadya to the child and back again before his persona seems to shift. It is subtle, little more then a sudden....clarity within his gaze, as if, for barely a moment that other being that exists somewhere within the fractures of his deranged mind seems to find his way to the surface. The man he could and should have been.
"Isabella- it was my Mother's name."
He has never before mentioned his Mother, this moment as fleeting as the words themselves before all that s lucid within the man seems to falter, confusion once more taking hold, one hand lifting to point suddenly at his son.
"Micah. Isabella."
His hand moves to return to the child within his arms now, gaze lifting to Nadya, assuring himself he is correct before simply nodding, attention returned to Isabella once more- seemingly fascinated by his newest belonging....
madness, as you know, is like gravity: all it takes is a little push
