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 not ashamed of my scars, i'm ashamed of the world for not understanding.

She keeps herself down on the ground attempting to make herself appear less threatening. The shadows that continued to swirl around her oddly marked pelt remained as a safety net for herself. The last thing she wanted to experience tonight was a fight. She wondered how Tobias was able to understand he was both human and Leopard. Did someone else show him this? Did someone have to teach him the moment he turned? Perhaps this coyote before suffered some sort of fate that allowed her to never acknowledge her other half. She wondered if Tetradore would even let the coyote into their pack, let alone within the Ark. Maybe if the coyote interacted with Tobias he could somehow help her. For now though the coyote needed to understand that she was a Were, and Raven was unsure with how she could prove it. The moment she speaks about humans and what they do to her kind causes the girl to nod her head in agreement. With a soft sigh she gently explains, as best as she can.


"They do that to me too...humans. Wolves are always seen as bad or evil. Yet you and I are Were-creatures half human and half animal...and there are special human hunters that try to kill us too. I have a friend, he is a leopard he is more animal than man, but he is capable of changing to a human...you must have never changed into a human before. I can show you how to transform, but you must not attack me, okay?"


Slowly she picked herself up, standing on all fours, keeping her dial and tail low so that Malia would not see her as a threat. Pulling the shadows closer to her, not wanting the coyote to harm her should she be in the middle of her shifting, she slowly calls upon for the change. Malia would watch as the ebony and grey fur from the wolf began to vanish to reveal scarred white skin, the body of the wolf morphing into a human, and in a matter of a few seconds, Raven transformed back into her human form. Long curly golden brown locks flowed behind her as the wind picked up slightly, her mauled face tilting downwards to the coyote, both hands were placed before her, palms outstretched to continue to show she was no threat. With a small smile she speaks gently to the girl.


"You can shift too, you just have to think it.
