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.

Bartender Raylin Chike

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.

There was nothing but fear in the fae's body as she watched the people around her â€" people she cared about, people she loved - erupt into battle with each other. Raven had proven herself to be a good friend, someone who had always had her best interests at heart. She'd brought her Ivy, encouraged her to take on the leadership role for the local fae that she was growing into earnestly. She'd given her tips on how to impress Aiden, been a shoulder to cry on if need be. She'd stood up for her when people ignored her. None of her memories matched the beast that seemed to be dead set on harming not only Samantha herself, but the people around her. She wasn't oblivious to the way that Aiden struggled to get control of the situation, Raven seeming to thwart his every attempt. She wanted to stop it, to protect him, even though she knew that she was no match for Raven if he was struggling to stop her himself. But the idea of him getting hurt... it seemed to chill every bone in her body. It was that very fear that she managed to pour into the leopard in front of her, trying her very best to get him to react. To do something to stop this absolute insanity.

The faerie girl looked up just in time to see Raven ram into the wall, the wolf now the size of a large bear rather than the wolf she had previously been. She could feel the fear flair up in Tobi just as she had intended it to, his own fear echoing hers. She watched as her boyfriend was cast into the opposing wall, the panther not rising to his feet immediately. At the sound of his body hitting the wall, the scream that she had been holding escaped her throat. It seemed only a split second before she felt Tobi being torn away from her, her fingers moving to clutch at his fur in a fruitless attempt to keep him close to her. "Tobi, Tobi..." It was useless, even as the girl clung to him and his claws scraped across the wooden floor. The wolf that rounded on her caused the girl to shrink back, taking a step back away from her for every slow, agonizing step forward. "Raven, it's Samantha. Sam. It's me... your friend..."

The pleas of the girl seemed to fall on deaf ears, the girl positive that she would be unable to influence the girl with her power, sure that no matter what she did, the wolf would still be after her. It was enough to make the girl feel as though her heart was beating out of her chest, and frantically she looked both ways, looking for a way to flee when there wasn't one. In the few seconds that followed, Samantha couldn't help but seek out Aiden, her body lurching forward towards him. It was only a few steps that she made it before her world was suddenly plunged into darkness. "Aiden! Tobi...!" The girl called out, her vision lacking entirely in the darkness they found themselves in. The girl turned around quickly, her eyes struggling to adjust and her body tense from looking for the bear-sized wolf.

It is the feeling of teeth latching onto her shirt that caused the girl to shriek, the sound lost on her lips as the world seems to disappear around them. The girl was only released after they appeared behind the bar, her fingers reaching out to stroke at the feline that had saved her. "Tobi..." She whispered softly, grateful now that she'd realized it was the man who had grabbed ahold of her in the attempt to protect her. "Thank you. Please help Aiden..." Her voice was lost entirely as he slinked out from behind the counter and into the fray. The faerie girl couldn't help but pull herself to her feet, her head peeking out from behind the bar to attempt to find Aiden. Desperately, the girl wanted to protect him, but she knew there was nothing she could do in the moment. If Aiden was thrown so easily, Raven would tear her apart in an instant. So as it was, she was forced to merely use the bar as a shield to keep herself safe â€" or as safe as she could possibly be.
