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.

Samantha didn't allow herself to hesitate before she trotted along after the feline. She followed closely behind him, keeping herself hidden in the shadows as well. The last thing she needed was to be seen trotting along after a large cat. It seemed like they'd been walking forever, the young girl following behind without making a sound. Luckily for her, the feline seemed kind enough to make sure she didn't lose it in the shadows - though truthfully, her vision was good enough that she never quite lost sight of him anyway - and never moved too quickly - though she could have caught him easily. She had no idea where he could have been leading her or even why. Later, she was sure she'd kick herself for being so recklessly trusting, though for now curiosity was getting the best of her.
She was surprised when the place that the werecat seemed most interested for her to see was a club. She paused nervously at the sight of the line, her instincts screaming that something was not normal about this place. Still, she followed the cat around the building, watching as he slinked up to the stage door. "Don't tell me you're the talent," She said almost dryly, refusing to allow him to see that her nerves were just about getting the best of her. Of course, the feline didn't respond as it studied the pin pad. She was about to make another comment regarding their whereabouts and his inability to get them inside when the cat actually managed to use it's claws to type in the four digit code.
Samantha watched as the feline stepped back, allowing her to step forward if she chose to let them inside. There was the tiny part of her deep down that screamed to run. She'd felt this instinct before. She considered that it was probably the last bit of her humanity left. It always screamed of self-preservation and of protection. She hardly paid attention to it in normal situations, much preferring her curious nature. For a moment, she considered listening to it, but the curiosity was overwhelming to her, and she found herself opening the door for them, pushing both herself and the feline inside.
