West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Black Market

Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.

What You'll Find Here

Edge of the Circle

Cull & Pistol

Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.

Noah's Ark

Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar. Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Syn

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

Askaree Bint Bahar


The arduous heft of her stare does not linger upon Spencer long enough to permit her view of the spectacle of his faux-apathetically pitched brow. She cared naught for his disdain, his arrogance, or whatever guises hung from him as the billowing dregs of a moth-eaten robe. She cared only for this opportunity to have him eat the words with which he had been so careless, so embarrassingly free. In the following minute or so (which, let's be honest, was all it was really going to take) she would be shoving them down his fucking throat; and maybe, just maybe, he would not disregard her so readily in the time to come. And if he did... well, all the better able would she be to fuck with him.

Her adversary approached her with just as much overly-confident ease as one might expect from a fellow who appeared so "seasoned" in this blood-sport; however, the slow shuffle of his gait proffered up just enough time for Askaree to take note of the yellowed hue to the dirtied cresents of his fingernails matched only by the similar shade of his teeth. The weathered and leathery state of skin drawn into taut lines in what was so obviously a premature fashion and, the tell of it all, the sickly rattling of each breath as it broke free of its fleshy cage. A smoker, she was certain of it. The epiphany curled an inward, demonic grin that did not mirror its impish doppleganger upon the sinful cushions of her lips. A cocky son-of-a-bitch though Askaree undoubtedly was, she had learned that to show such blatant confidence whilst in the midst of battle invited only the possibilty of defeat.

Such training her opponent had, clearly, not received as he rushed towards her, callused fists careening in the very general direction of her pretty little kisser. A blow it was so very easy to avoid as a series of feline-like movements deflected the meaty casing that was his arm whilst Askaree sent an elbow to land a well-aimed blow to the gentleman's kidney. She did not retreat, though many would have thought this a wise course of action given the sheer bulk of her adversary; no, she wished to see the look of surprise as he spun around to face her, only to have the flat of her falsely-delicate hand meet with the prominent bulge of his adam's apple. A rattling breath stalled in his windpipe as the gargantuan man shuffled, grappling to maintain his footing as Askaree retreated but a few miniscule paces.

A growl ripples the brims of his arid, cracked lips, and again he rushes her, flinging forth a clenched fist that, much to her dismay, clips Askaree's chin, splitting the plumpness of her bottom lip. Mother fucker. That was going to make getting her lipstick on fleek a real fucking chore for the next two weeks. "Ha," his rasping tone grates terrifically against her eardrums. "Come on, sweetie. I've broken more than one bitch like you," he sought to taunt her, cracked fingers beckoning her forth. What a tool. And yet she obliges him, the young Egyptian taking a measured step towards her opponent who, as she suspected he would, seeks to fling another clenched fist towards her darkly-attractive features. But she is prepared this time, already having grown bored with the cheap, tired flourish with which he conducted himself and this sad little charade of a fight just to prove a point to Mopey the Vapid Cripple. In a single, swift and marvelously-precise movement Askaree forces the heel of her hand upwards so that it collides solidly with the man's nose, her efforts (little though they were) rewarded with a gush of crimson, syrupy blood from his now-shattered nose. Thick hands move instinctively to inspect the damage, the grisled gentleman's beard already a gnarled mess of mucus and blood.

She moves for the finish then, a forceful kick plunged into the very center of the man's chest, Askaree's bare foot connecting with his sternum with a sickly thud, the movment made all the more cogent by the thick cords of muscle that built the woman before him. He falls to his back then, struggling for breath through a shattered nose and shocked, smoke-choked lungs, Askaree merely watching with a facade of what could have only been described as disinterest as she wiped away the singular trickle of blood which oozed from the abrasion upon her lip. The countdown to his defeat is quick, the mixed roars of anger, surprise, and victory a cacophonous amalgamation as Askaree moves to extract herself from the ring, barely sparing him a backwards glance as she delivers her would-be aggressor one last blow. "There aren't any bitches like me, sweetie."
