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.

I know that it may take some time for Raven to see that I was trying to protect her when I chose to go with Frost that day but I understand what it looked like to her in that moment. I've regretted not explaining it to her ever since. I know that she's only ever wanted to look out for me and I'm blessed to have her as a friend. She sacrifices for others and that day she was trying to sacrifice for me. I didn't want her to and even though I tried to save her, it didn't work. Frost still did what he did. I feel her move in discomfort when I hug her and I wonder to myself if it's because she's not used to someone hugging her or if it's because it's me hugging her. What if she still doesn't forgive me for leaving with Frost? I feel comfort in her presence. She's always been able to put me at ease. I feel better telling her what happened while I was gone. I somehow knew she would understand because of what she went through. I wonder if she had anyone to confide in but then I remember how I first met her. She was pretty untrusting then, broken almost. I can only assume she didn't have anyone to talk to. My heart goes out to her, my arms softening around her. I scowl and look down when she mentions Tetradore and Tobias. "They probably still hate me because they think I chose him over them too." I do note that her voice is more tense when she says Nadya's name but I hold my tongue. It's not my business to ask about pack business. I just can't help but wonder if something happened between them. I tense up a little when she turns to lead me to the Ark but finally I let out a breath and nod before falling in step behind her. |
