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.

the stars in their orbits

Ezra's retaliation against her brother and Tobias, while perhaps justified by their brutish words, was unnecessary and quite like poking already pissed off bears. Her shouts caused Nadya's ears to twitch back in irritation, taking the blow-up personally seeing as she was trying to smooth things over. She had hoped to prove the two young men wrong, that smooth words and charm could be just as effective but it seems the white spotted feline seemed keen to also show she would hold a grudge. What would have been an exasperated sigh which sounded more like a snort of irritancy escaped her though she didn't move away from Ezra, for why should she when it wasn't a threat to her that Ezra had made.
Nadya's gaze shifted over to her brother, his behavior highly foreign to her, her memory not holding an inkling of animosity from him. It was true that after the night where they had been separated he could have had a different upbringing but the state of the clothes they had found him in made her believe he couldn't have that same feral side that Tobias did. She lifted a large paw from the earth, shifting back away from him as the grass at his feet shriveled in death from the droplets that fell from his gaping jaws. That part of her brother she definitely didn't remember and it startled Nadya, quite frankly it actually scared her, to know that her brother possessed such a power as death...able to play God and take life whenever he chose. This was not the brother she remembered nor the brother that she wanted. "Aiden...you can't..." There was hesitancy in her tone, caressing her brother's mind as if to pull him away from an action he may regret...that she'd hoped he would regret should he follow through with it.
All at once Tobias' frame plowed into her, his shoulder shoving her form aside to act as a living wall between her and the other two, effectively cutting off any aid she may give to the snow leopard. While she felt inclined to help the she-leopard named Ezra, Nadya was far too concerned with the fact that Tobias had pushed her, trying to dominate and force her movements. Sharpened claws unsheathed immediately to grip the earth, rooting her blackened jaguars form against his shoving, ears pinning back against her skull, jaws parting to bare deadly curved canines as a hissing snarl ripped through her at the brute of a leopard. "Back off!" She had only just met this one earlier that morning and was unimpressed by his behavior and once he understood she would never submit to him, never bend to his will, the better off they'd all be. As it was, she had been born into it and raised as such by the neighboring pack by those Alphas...she could never submit to another unless it was a battle to the death, this wasn't a conscious thought either, simply ingrained. As her body vibrated with the onslaught of growling hisses in evident disdain for Tobias, her front paws came up one after another, aimed to violently smack at his head like a drum.
