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.

I'm caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the store keeper, completely absorbed by a small glass orb half-full with some kind of green liquid in a perpetual state of simmering. I jump slightly, though far too much, at the voice so melodic and sweet and peer through the shelf to get a look at the woman it belongs to. I duck around to see her properly and so she can get a good look at me, the last thing I need is to be known as the creepy guy who talks to people through shelves lest I move into the library. She regards me with an apparent air of curiosity, not surprising given the fact I appear in her shop in the middle of this bad neighborhood out of nowhere while it's raining kittens outside. "Oh, I don't know about lost. To be lost don't you have to be going somewhere? Looking for something?" I'm in danger of blowing this first impression but I feel like I got punched in the gut by an iron gauntlet. There's something about this girl, subdued but there's an intensity lying just beneath the surface.

I'm torn between excitement and... fear isn't the right word but... you know the feeling when you take the first drop on a roller coaster? That exhilarating thrill has a name but it escapes me now. "Sorry, I was just exploring around a bit and found myself down here. When it started to rain I just ran for the first door I could find and I guess that brings us to now." I approach the counter, glancing back and forth from the curator to the displays before extending my hand with a genuine smile that's all to eager to appear on my face. "Ivan. King. Just moved to the city not too long ago, still trying to get a feel for the place. I like your... things." I finish, indicating the truly random assortment of objects throughout the shop. I have no idea what almost all of them do but many are awful eye catching curiosities.

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
why are you still so afraid?
