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.

Arya had spent her day off mulling about in her apartment, conflicted on just what to do. After being stabbed with a harpoon by a disgruntled fisherman earlier this week, winding up bleeding on the doorstep of the Ark and rescued once more by the broody pack leader Tetradore, she was trying to think of someway to repay him. He'd been incredibly kind helping her the first time she found herself bruised on his doorstep, and to go out of his way to help her again? Absolutely selfless for someone he barely knew at all. To say the Seal was indebted to the man was an understatement, and her mind was set on repaying him. But how? She didn't know enough about the other Were to buy him anything, and even if she did, how would she get it to him? She supposed, perhaps, she could cook for him? But what did the man even like to eat? Well actually she knew one thing: Mac and Cheese. But there was no way she could make Mac and Cheese like Matteo and also how would she deliver something like that and manage to keep it warm if he wasn't around? Arya simply did not know, letting out a sigh every once in a while as she sat absolutely stumped. Finally she settled on baking him cookies, easy enough to make and everyone liked cookies....Right?
After a little over an hour, she had a suitable amount of chocolate chip cookies all done and placed into a container as nicely as she could. The brunette woman had even taste tested one of the cookies to make sure they were good; Arya was a good baker but it had been a long time since she'd had the opportunity to bake anything and she wanted to make sure they were perfect. It definitely wasn't just an excuse to eat a cookie. She quickly threw together a quick thank you card, placing it on top of the cookie container before she grabbed her keys and scurried down to her car. It was a little passed noon so surely he, or someone from his pack, would be at the Ark so she could deliver them and then quickly scurry home? Also if she didn't leave now, she'd spend all day fighting herself about the what ifs. What if they weren't there? What if he didn't like cookies? She shook her head, quickly pulling out and heading further west towards the docks and the looming mass of metal that Tetradore called home.
Arya parked and quickly got out of her car, cookies in hand as she began to slowly stroll down the pier. She'd been down this dock so many times now, she might as well join the pack. The brunette woman stopped dead in her tracks, amber eyes blinking in surprise at that thought. The Wereseal hadn't ever thought about joining another pack ever since she left her family, her colony, to start a new life out in Sacrosanct. Up until now she'd been okay on her own, but even she couldn't deny there was a part of her that desired that family structure, that closeness of others like her. She quickly shook her head and kept moving towards the entrance of the Ark. This wasn't the time to think about things like this. Plus she wasn't sure she could ever gain the confidence to try and assimilate into a pack, or that Tetradore would even want an accident prone seal apart of his pack.
The young woman hesitated at the entrance to the Ark, knowing that the ship was also a bar but that there was no way in Hell it was open, so she shouldn't just...walk in. But there wasn't exactly a doorbell to get someone's attention. If she wanted to get the cookies to Tetradore, she needed to go in, which was incredibly stupid if she didn't run into Tetradore and instead found one of his pack members. There was no way they'd take kindly to some strange Were walking onto their home. It took her a solid couple of minutes of standing there awkwardly before Arya managed to swallow some of her fear and step in, maneuvering through the metal halls towards where she thought she remembered the bar was from her first visit. Someone had to be there. Luckily she was right on both accounts, stumbling into the bar area that was empty as it was not opening time. There was a woman here, an incredibly beautiful one that made the young brunette blush deeply. She was now very apparent of how embarrassing and awkward this was.
