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.
The prospect that glitter might be seen as feminine hardly perturbed the were-King in the slightest as he inquired after the substance. After all, he was rather certain that there was little about this whole event that was somehow supposed to be masculine in anyway. It was, he was assured, about nostalgia. It was reliving those sweet moments of his childhood before everything had been ripped to shreds and their lives had been destroyed. It was a nice, sweet, innocent moment that surely deserved glitter. Tetradore could hardly deny that sense of pleasure that filled him when he was finally given the sparkly substance, the man more than content to focus on the recreation of that very egg he'd made as a child. He was hardly oblivious to those tender touches of affection between his best friend and the man's fiance. It was, however, hardly his business and, in turn, he was more than willing to ignore it entirely. There was little reason why such love should prompt any discomfort within him, they were, after all engaged. Some levels of affection were certainly to be expected. It was only once his own egg was done that Tetradore gave up that glitter to his companion, instead fishing another untouched egg from that carton for dying, even though he had little notion on what he intended to do with it.
His attention deviated from his egg only by Tobias' voice, the boy clearly eager to show off his own handy work at the stick figured he'd carefully crafted on those egg to reflect Raven and himself. A small simper crossed his features as he eyed that glittery 'hair'. The art was hardly spectacular by any mean and yet, it was endearing that Tobias had thought of them enough to try to craft those eggs all the same. He saw little reason not to praise the boy for his efforts. At the very least it was rare in which Tobias was able to stay still long enough to try some sort of art and craft project, particularly one that included water. This, clearly, meant something to Raven and, in turn, Tetradore saw little reason not to praise the boy all the same. That beam he was given in return was hardly anticipated and yet, to see Tobias so truly pleased had a fashion of prompting an equally as rare simper to the man's usually stoic features.
His gaze shifted towards the timid Raven, the man equally as determined to provide her with some measure of approval. The young woman seemed to thrive upon that appreciation and, apart of the Alpha was assured it was his job to see to giving her what she needed in turn. His emerald eyes settled upon that egg she held up to him, showing off that triangle pattern she'd sketched into that dye with her white crayon. That grin she presented him with prompted a small simper to his lips as he nodded quite firmly. "It looks wonderful, Raven." He assured her, noting that hesitance. It was only once he was certain both of his pack members were appeased that Tetradore turned to fish that next egg from the dye he'd placed it in, even if he wasn't quite sure what to do with it now that he had managed to turn it that bright color he desired. He glanced upwards only at that mention of his mother and how nice it was that she had indulged the boys on such childish activities. He remained silent as Tobias spoke of the woman, only to mention his father and...sticks. "Fishing." Tetradore clarified, too remembering fondly of that trip. The end result had hardly been succeeding in fishing so much as chasing them all away, the two boys hardly patient enough to sit still whilst they tried to pull fish out of the creek. Still, his father had regarded their antics good naturedly, accepting that, perhaps it had been too much to ask after them at such a young age.
He let that conversation of their parents die off and, in turn, his own attention turned upwards from his egg at that hunt Raven intended to put on for them. A soft snort left his nose, the man well aware of what the outcome would be even before Tobias so confidently uttered that he was the best at finding. In this, Tetradore was willing to admit defeat before the game even started. The boy's affinity for hunting was quite near legendary. "That you are." He uttered, reaching up to ruffle the boy's hair. "Pretty sure you'll find them all before me." It was, he was certain, hardly even worth the effort to even try.
