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.

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 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.
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.
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 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 certainly was something peculiar about this lad. That much, Dareios knew for certain. He couldn't quite place what was amiss, but the vampire could feel the tension radiating from his mortal, flesh-wrapped body. The vampire could feel the rising, staccato-like thump of his heart beat as it quickened. He could sense the blood in this stranger's veins moving through his central muscle at an elevated speed. Like clockwork, the vampire's ancient predatory instincts kicked in, and a warm tingling in his gut reminded him that he was hungry. His fangs snapped into place, but the vampire hid them coolly. Thus far this foolish man hadn't posed a direct threat to him, but Dareios was getting the feeling that something was about to go awry. Dareios drops the envelope, the yellowed, thick package falling into his lap and then teetering to the cobblestone sidewalk under them as the vampire's efforts were channeled elsewhere. His gift of impressive speed would save him yet again, as this hunter's glowing arm and subsequent stake comes at him with deathly precision. Dareios is able to stand and pivot around the hunter in but a flash, his frame moving at such a pace that he is merely a blur of grey material and dark hair to the mortal eye as he shifts in one direction and then the next. It seems he didn't go completely unscathed, however, as the sleeve of his blazer flaps in the wind from the sizable slash in the fabric there. When he finally halts, the vampire is now positioned behind the hunter. Dareios pays no attention to the muffled screams from the bystanders behind him. He doesn't dare try to hide his true form now, the protruding ridges of his forehead that darken his glowing eyes in their deep sockets, or the fangs that dangle dangerously from the edges of his sinister smile. "I thought I was clear on the phone. I don't like surprises." He says. "Almost as much as I loathe dark hunters." And with that, Dareios grabs the man firmly at the shoulders, despite knowing little about the potential blow back that could come from the ridiculous glow radiating off him. In one swift movement, Dareios aims to bite into the man's neck, knocking back the hooded cape of his sweatshirt. Dareios will bite him only if he has to. He doesn't care much for the taste of hunters, who in most regards one would think they would be similar in taste to humans, but that was not the case. In Dareios' experience, they hardly took care of themselves and ate like bottom feeders. Dareios expected no less from this one here, and would prefer to spare himself from the taste of cheap beer, cigarettes and Cheerios. But this manuver always proved to be a powerful ruse. You see, as Dareios positioned himself to slash through the soft flesh of this man's neck, his hands and eyes are working at lightning speed to remove the amulet from his aforementioned pocket.
