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.

Nadya Tetradore



A short chuffing sound vibrates Nadya's form; the best a feline could do in a chuckle. Alexis' playful antics match well with her own tonight. While Nadya's protective instinct had gotten stronger since having the twins, her playfulness had also increased slightly due to entertaining her children as they grew. Nadya remained still as Alexis scampered up her side to declare defeat over her fallen form. Only once the fox had leapt away from her mouthing did Nadya right herself. She offered not just a meal but a safe haven in return. It was something she felt she probably should have done the very first time they had met. It seemed she had needed it but at that time even Nadya had been alone since Aidan had been under the thumb of that vampire. Now with her fortunes having turned it was only right to extend the protection of pack to Alexis should she want it.

There was no lack of surprise when Alexis' playful demeanor turned somber, quickly retreating from her grasp to look at her with glassy eyes. "Yes, my brother is the green-eyed one. His name is Aidan. If you come back with me he'll accept you as part of the pack. He doesn't really run a tight ship like some Alphas; you're free to come and go as you please. Tobias is a leopard, he's my brother's friend and can be a bit of a wild-card but you can distract him with things. And...well you know Raven, she's Tobias' mate. You'd have someone else there you know and she cooks for us so there's always meals." Nadya trailed off when Alexis mentions having killed. A monster, she honestly thinks that makes her a monster? Nadya could remember the sickening crunch of the Hunters skull in her jaws and the copper of his blood in her mouth. It had been her first time taking a life that night and though it had been for the reason of saving her children it hadn't haunted her any less in the days proceeding it.

Nadya's golden gaze reflected only concern rather than pity or astonishment. Slowly Nadya rose to her feet, closing the distance between the pair, and wrapped her form around the little fox in a comforting manner. "You aren't a monster. We have all done things in order to survive...we all have secrets, myself and my brother included." Her rough pink tongue lashed out to rasp across the top of Alexis' head to reassure her. It wasn't just her maternal instinct that flared in that moment to comfort but that of a friend to ensure Alexis knew she wasn't alone. It was a fine line that their species treaded sometimes with the feelings between human or beast, what was right or wrong and what had to be done in order to survive and protect themselves. "If that is your only reason to being alone then it's not one you have to worry about. But, if you truly don't want to be a part of my pack then I'm not going to force you. Just know it is there and I will vouche for you to my brother." Nadya's attention on cleaning Alexis continued, her warm form pressed against hers and vibrating with a low purr; near muscle memory actions that soothed the twins when they were upset.
