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.

there are survivors, they're coming home


She was so... hunnnnnnnnngry.

When Minn made her way into the café she nearly drooled at the front doorstep when the aroma of everything good in the world came to her nose in the smell of breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, biscuits, ham, hasbrowns, sausage... Mmmmm.

She shuffled inside, leering at the nearest table and eyeing their plates with a lust in her eyes that could have put any lover to shame. The little café seemed busy enough, bustling with the hum of individuals and families up early enough to enjoy a meal outing together. Minn was rarely up this early, but Davante's "shop" was nearby and well... the bear just couldn't work on an empty stomach. She'd been there all night doing nothing even remotely productive, but since she was already up a fancy-smancy breakfast couldn't hurt! The smell had drawn her from blocks away and everyone who knew Minn knew the girl turned into a bloodhound when it came to food. She had to be â€" how else would she have ever grown up being able to tell the good stuff in the trash cans from the bad? She'd come a long way from that, though. Along with foraging Minn had learned the delicate art of mooching, as well begging and smooth-talking. Meals came a lot easier these days. The Ark was always stocked â€" sort of. And Davante was usually keen to bribing the shifter with food or shiny things. Food usually worked better. It was a win-win, really. Minn couldn't complain.

She didn't linger in the entrance long and shuffled further inside, quickly scanning the tables for a place to sit while avoiding the hostesses entirely. A lot of the tables were full or had all the seats taken. There were a few singles scattered about, though. That could work. When her eyes landed on Cormac and his unaccompanied seat Minn made a beeline straight for the chair on the other side and plopped down with a large, friendly smile "Hi!" She chirped, shifting around in the seat uncomfortably before she finally pulled her legs up and crossed them underneath her. The way she greeted him was so casual that it might have seemed as if they were friends meeting up for breakfast, or perhaps that she'd mistaken him for someone else entirely.

"Oh oh oh â€" wait, Miss!" She blinked, quickly reaching out to grab the nearest passing waitress's attention. "Yeah, hi there, um, could you please bring me the biggest breakfast platter you have? Yeh, like, the whole eggs and bacon and pancakes and lots and lots of syrup. You know what I mean? Cool. Thanks!" The poor waitress seemed so surprised by the way Minn had ordered she didn't quite question it, just nodded awkwardly and went back to the kitchen looking as if she was trying to decide on being annoyed or just really confused.

Minn didn't give it a second thought. She turned to the table again, unfolding her napkin with utensils in it and put it in her lap neatly. "So." She offered Cormac another toothy, enthusiastic grin as she looked up at him. She was tiny compared to him and looked slightly out of place, sitting there in that chair with her ratty denim jacket and bright red lipstick. "What did you order? Oh â€" oh gods." Minn suddenly made a face, bringing her painted, chipped colored nails up to her nose with a mild look of disgust.

"Do you know you coffee smells horrid?"
