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.

it's over, i'm through
I saw you standing there and I knew I'm done for
That worry weighed heavily upon the heart of the were-King, even as he led his vector up those stairs and into the depths of that office. Through that door to his own room was always open, metaphorically, to Henry, he knew well it was the first time he'd truly shown the man exactly where he tended to hide from the world at large. He made his way towards that leather sofa against the wall, choosing this rather than the desk he often sat behind for the simple air of openness he was trying to provide this conversation. It was all too easy to hide behind a desk, and though he was hesitant to be so distinctly....vulnerable to another soul, surely Henry was worth it, wasn't he? After all, the man was his creation. He watched as his Vector leaned against the front of that desk, a small frown settled upon his own features and yet, he took that moment to collect his thoughts before finally shedding light to exactly why he had brought Henry here in the first place - his sister and his own knowledge of Henry's clear discontent at the Ark.
He hardly anticipated that sigh or the defensive words that followed, that mention of Raven's efforts to chastise him alone caused his eyebrows to furrow. Tetradore's head shook ever so slightly to the side, "I'm not...chastising you, Henry. I believe that you didn't seek her out. I know this isn't your fault, I chose not to tell you about my sister or her boyfriend." He commented, his emerald eyes shifted towards the sofa as his fingers found a loose thread on the back of the couch, one he was content to pick at. "There is no one you cannot speak to....if you want to, even her. It's just that..." His voice trailed off, that frown present all the same. It was rare, truly, to see the often confident Tetradore waver, after all, being an Alpha quite near required his steadfast assurance and yet, affairs with Henry were able to so quickly bring him to his knees. "Nadya has a fashion of driving a wedge between myself and....those I care for...weather or not she does so on purpose, I don't know. I was hoping that maybe ignorance would keep you safe from them but...clearly, that was my mistake." His gaze slowly turned back towards Henry, the man quite purposefully hardly missing a beat even though he had just openly expressed, of sorts, those complicated feelings that rested within him for the man who was, by all accounts, still a stranger to him.
"Nadya informed me you were...not happy here. I mean, of course, you have every reason to not be happy with....things with your...friend and becoming a were but..." He paused abruptly, his tongue running almost nervously over his bottom lip before he continued. "Please, at least give me a chance to make things better here before you see what she has to offer you." Despite all of his best efforts, it seemed Tetradore had still resorted to begging. "What can I do?" Tetradore inquired, leaning forward ever so slightly so his elbows rested on his knees and yet, the entirety of his attention was settled on Henry alone.
