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.

years I've walked in the coldest winds
from sorrow and pain I find my strength
the more I hurt, the clearer I see.
There was a certain sort of energy in the air, an electricity that even the were-panther could feel within that mortal skin as he stepped out onto that viewing platform. His Beta was strangely absent tonight. It seemed as if the man had gotten even closer to his mate within the Alpha's death. It was hardly peculiar, he supposed. He had been naive to think he would simply return to life functioning in the same fashion it always had. Still, Tetradore leaned over that railing, watching those fights below him. It was the first night since his return that the man was afforded some time to himself - the previous days had mostly been spent seeing to his multiple businesses and reassuring those numerous clients of his continual existence. Those crowds were more boisterous tonight then they had been in some time, largely due to the simple fact, he was sure, that tonight was a holiday of sorts. They, however, hardly were willing to ignore his existence, that crowd quickly began to pick up a chant, his name upon their lips. For a moment, he had simply watched them with a hint of amusement before offering that group a small nod, willing to give into those demands for tonight.
It was the first time he'd stepped into that ring since before his death, that mortal skin so effortlessly gave way to the short ebony fur of his feline self, those emerald eyes shifting intensely to the man that dared step in that ring against him. He knew, truly, how important this singular fight was. He had to prove the King of the Concrete Jungle had not fallen in his absence. He had prove exactly why he was still on the top of that hierarchy. He watched the fellow across from him as those bones snapped and muscles twisted and soon enough, the creature standing across from him was revealed. A buffalo. How....peculiar. He'd yet to see one up close. They were a stampede animal, their horns of greatest threat if only because they had been known to impale even lions upon those sharpened spines. How perfect. The creature lowered his head, his hooves scraping against the ground and immediately, the creature charged, providing him with little time to react as the feline strove to move out of the way of those rapidly approaching horns.
Tetradore was entirely focused upon climbing that creature, enough so that even he hardly noticed that scent of equine that had entered the Ark, though truly amongst those wafting smells of the other wildlife beneath the skin of his patrons, it was unlikely he would have noticed anyways. That battle went on a bit longer then he would have liked and yet, soon enough, he was settled upon the back of that large bovine, those teeth clamping down upon the creature's neck in a deadly vice like grip for the allotted time required to be declared the winner. That shift once again overcame him, those clothes retrieved and redressed as the next fight began but minutes after his own, those fellow predators so attempting to prove themselves with a renewed sort of vengeance. Tetradore, however, made his way towards that bar on the wall of the room, requesting a beverage from his wait staff. Alicia was all too quick to pop the top of an ice cold beer for him, passing it to him before, with some hesitance, pointing out a woman in the back corner of the room. She was young, even Tetradore could tell that and yet, that cat eared female had been certain she'd smelled horse on her. A small frown crossed his lips and though he hardly cared for this anti-equine rule as much as Tobias had, Tetradore had every reason to be careful.
The were-king approached that far back table, those emerald eyes still steadfast on her. "We currently don't cater to your kind." He uttered as he stood before her table, his eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. There was something familiar about her - something of that scent that he had smelled before. It took him a moment to realize it, though that in itself frustrated him. Her scent had been faint within Frost's home but Tetradore had taken to finding shelter in her empty room several times over when he was unsure of where his haunting antics might take the man. "Your one of Frost's. Why the hell did he sent you now?' He inquired, his voice decidedly deadpanned as those emerald eyes narrowed at the young girl. That welcome mat was quite quickly disintegrating, little pony better talk fast.
