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.

How does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?




My hand moved to touch the marred skin just above my cheek bone, the faint scar was the constant reminder of the time I had spent behind bars. My life as a man, as a mortal, a human, was worthless. I had grown hard, much like my father, and much like him, good at caring about what was happening only to me right now, and not the future. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I knew it was only a matter of time until the cops showed up one day and they didn't disappoint.
I was a stupid young buck, dumb to think that I was capable of creating some sort of life for myself. I was a god damn Taylor after all, predetermined to follow down the same, rugged and disappointing path of my father and the father that came before him. I'm not naive enough to think that being a hunter would somehow erase my past or numb the things in me that made me who I am. But it did give me some direction. It pulled me out of that redneck town in 'sota. It made me feel like I had something to contribute to this world.

The nearly empty flask clanked against the knives tucked neatly on the inside of my coat. I pressed an elbow into my side to hold them there, hoping the girl next to me didn't hear the faint, metallic sound. She was fairly distracted though, shoveling down the foot on her array of plates at an impressive rate. The waitress rounds the corner and collects what's left of my measly meal. She hesitates before filling up my mug again and drops off a check. I hunch forward on the bar top as one hand digs into my jeans pocket, and retrieves a few crumpled green bills.

This girl here tells me she's a bouncer... for a retail operation. "Like theft prevention?" I ask, an eyebrow raised and a sly smirk on my face. She sure dressed tough, but as she spins and almost topples over on the bar stool, I can't help but laugh. "Woah there." I say, swiveling myself on the stool to face her. "What kind of shop out here needs protection?" My brain ticks away at the possibilities. I'm no dummy, I'm sure it's supernatural related. But I'm not all that interested in messing up her day, so I'll let whatever lie she has to tell slide. "Oh yeah? Where in the city?" I ask, as if I know this place. I knew how to get to my shitty room, to the liquor store two blocks over, and how to use the train. That's about it.
