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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Nadya Tetradore
While Nadya was generally a wholly friendly person, there were few that she truly allowed the affection she lavished on Alexis. Perhaps a certain amount of it was due to her originally saving the small fox, feeling some form of protectiveness over her, but she found the woman a pleasant person to be around too. The shopping trip and their subsequent run-in and the café had been too short. Like so many that Nadya had come across, Alexis had phased out like a ghost leaving the panther to ponder briefly on where she was before her absence became normal. There would always be people coming and going from her life after all so she didn't dwell for very long on it.
The deep rumbling purr that vibrated her form as she slid against Alexis' leg let the woman know her pleasure for her return. Pleasantries aside it was time to play, it was a much needed activity to pull Nadya's thoughts from her mourning over another week without her children. The panther's method of making her wants known to Alexis was the same she utilized towards her brother when he was being particularly stubborn in not shifting or paying attention to her. Nadya may have been an adult, relatively so, but she never ceased to demand her brother's attention...although much less so than Tobias.
Nadya pulls away feeling Alexis move, golden eyes glancing up at her as she crouches down signaling her acceptance. If the panther could have smiled she could have, instead her long tail snaked back and forth behind her in delight as human flesh gave way to the firey coat of the fox. The sudden pounce from the fox at her was unexpected, a tickle running through her at the small canine brushing her belly as it raced beneath and out between her back legs. A chuff of delight escaped her vocals as Nadya skittered quickly to whip around and face the fox. Her predators' eyes latched onto the plume that waved like a banner behind the fox, tracking its movement and itching her instincts to pounce on it. It was her very first meeting with Alexis that drew Nadya to foxes, what with their tail being an infinite built in cat toy.
The large ebony jaguar coiled before leaping off after the red fox. "Where have you been? Why are you in the West?" Now that they shared the same form she could easily bombard Alexis with her ecstatic questions. Her larger frame could cover more ground and easily gained on Alexis. Playfully Nadya batted at Alexis' side as she once more brought her powerful jaws to nom at her scruff as if to try and twist her to the ground though she exerted no real force behind it. "Are you here with anyone?" Although Alexis' sent had always been distinctly her own, holding no traces of any mate or packmembers, it was Nadya's duty to be diligent enough to question her especially being on Nightshade grounds.
