West

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.

Black Market

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.

What You'll Find Here

Edge of the Circle

Cull & Pistol

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.

Bartender Raylin Chike

Noah's Ark

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.

Syn

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.

something wicked this way comes

A soft breath of satisfaction left her blood-red lips as Serafina gingerly placed a small vial of glowing blue liquid into a box no larger than her palm. A thick golden ring followed suit, placed in a carefully set groove in the box before the velveteen lid closed with an audible snap. Her fingers were deft as she tied a dark red ribbon around the box, garnishing the top with an oversized bow. A soft hum from the chorus of the newest pop song from the radio echoed on her lips, her hips moving to a silent beat. Across the room, the corporeal figure of a man rolled his eyes, only to glance at the clock on the wall. "You're going to be late." Serafina paused at the heavy italian accent, her gaze turning towards the time on the front screen of her cellphone. "I like to make a dramatic entrance...besides, when have you ever been on time for anything?" She inquired, her brow raising as she eyed the ghost, all while slipping the little black box into her purse. His shoulders shrugged as his whetstone made one final stroke against the sharpened point of his sword. "I am a Prince, you are not." He reminded her, as if such a royal status meant anything these days. Well...maybe where he was from, it did.

Serafina reached down, her fingers looping around the straps to her heels. She balanced delicately, fitting one tall heel before following suit with the other. "There, I'm ready now. Come on, Simon, our Uber is here." A good natured grin crossed her feminine features, the ghost in the corner shook his head, sliding his sword back into the ancient scabbard around his waist as he stood. "You couldn't come up with a better name?" Alfonzo complained the same way he did every time the duo put on this charade. It was, admittedly, a bit more...high profile then Serafina tended to prefer but the money deposited within her bank account was...enticing. She stepped out of the store, her purse tucked under her arm as she turned, her key fitting in the lock to turn it with a soft click. The sleek black mini dress tightly hugged her figure, her heels clicking against the pavement as she crossed the sidewalk for the awaiting vehicle. Serafina slid effortlessly into the back seat of the car, a small smile given towards the driver as he glance behind him, only to confirm their destination - Syn.

The reverberation of the base poured from the swinging door of Syn as Serafina stepped out of the vehicle and onto the sidewalk. Her hair had turned a stark platinum blonde, the witch taking the opportunity within the vehicle to apply a vague disguise of her own, much to the driver's annoyance at the magical canister of hairspray. Her features had changed ever so slightly, her eyes a shade brighter, her lips a touch fuller, her cheeks a bit thinner. It was a simple change, admittedly, but Serafina had quickly learned that, in this business, few were inclined to notice the details of her face. Confidently, with hips swaying, the young woman strode towards the vampire at the door. A few flirtatious words later and the showing of a reservation and she was ushered into the darkened space. The corridor into the heart of Syn was short, spitting the young witch out into the vibrant swinging of spotlights rotating through a mirage of colors. The music pounded in her very core, making conversation altogether difficult over the thudding base that poured out of the speakers. The center floor was filled with closely clustered bodies, the dark corners sectioned off with thick burgundy fabrics that spoke of danger and intrigue. Syn was a pulsating beast - one that Serafina rarely ventured into, were it not chosen by her contact of the evening.

"Ms. Davis is waiting." A baritone voice shouted close to her ear to be heard over the loud music. Serafina's head sharply turned towards the Were beside her, her lips pressed together ever so slightly in discontent that he'd managed to get so close without her notice. A single pointed glance was given towards the ghost at her otherside, though Alfonzo hardly seemed to notice it. Her head dipped in a small nod of acknowledgement, leaving the Were beside her to lead her through the expansive room and towards the more...private areas. The lights shifted dramatically, the flashing hues transforming to a steady black light that picked up the faux platinum blonde of her hair. Her 'guide' closed the door firmly behind her at her entrance, leaving Serafina alone to face the reclining woman waiting oh so patiently for her arrival. Her gaze settled upon the woman before her, a manicured brow furrowing ever so slightly. There was something about those stark blue eyes that looked so...familiar...though she was certain she'd never met the woman before. "Hello, Ms. Davis. I'm Mr. Delgrange's secretary, he asked me to facilitate this transaction. Would you like to see the product?" She inquired, her lips pressing together firmly. She wasn't paid, after all, to be friendly with her clients.
