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
Cull & Pistol
Noah's Ark
Syn
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.
Bartender Raylin Chike
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 was the first time Tetradore had ever asked Tobias to utilize this new affinity he had developed within the house of Syn. He had little notion of what control the boy fostered over his abilities, just as he was unsure if such chaos could be funned in such a fashion. It was this lack of knowledge that caused Tetradore to fall silent, simply watching his companion's thoughtful features as he sought to work with the affinity he had, bending it to the were-panther's will. His emerald gaze shifted towards the females in question as their girlish giggles suddenly intensify. He could only guess that such was an immediate reaction to Tobias' capabilities and it seemed, quite on cue, that the two guards in question quickly followed suit. With a satisfied look to his masculine features, Tetradore watched the two meander towards the women, leaving their post entirely unmanned. "Good job." His praise was short and simplistic as he strode forward, quickly taking the steps upward lest the two men glance towards the direction of the staircase and remember their job once again. Stealth meant everything in this sort of business, especially when the metaphorical King of this ship had such a large army to boast.
At the top of the staircase, Tetradore is given to pause, his gaze sweeping over the landing to the hallway on the far side - one that evidently led deeper into the ship. He could only assume that such was where this mysterious alpha was. Tetradore took several steps forward before noting that Tobias had failed to follow, his companion's attention deviated by the phenomenal view of the ring below and the intricately carved chair next to them. "Soon." He responded simply, as if to reassure the leopard that one day, this would be their place, the place where they would stand to watch the fights, were they might overlook upon their kingdom. Yes, very soon this would be theirs to have. His head nodded in the direction of the large double doors, clearly disliking the obstacles that stood within their way of their chosen goal. Patience was not his forte when it came to the inevitable of fights. He preferred things over sooner rather then later. Tetradore pulled himself from his brooding, instead falling in step behind Tobias as the two made their way towards the 'Captain's Quarters'.
It was Tobias voice which saw Tetradore halt, a small frown crossing his masculine features at the mention of this....Jackle. Still, with little knowledge of what to expect, his muscles tensed, clearly ready for whatever fight might come to them. He heard the hiss within the air far before he saw the lithe figure's abrupt appearance before them. Tetradore's emerald gaze narrowed ever so slightly at the presence of the fellow. It was a shame really, that the Mexican man had seen fit to intervene within their abrupt take over. In truth, Tetradore had rather liked the bouncer. He had been one of the few the man had wanted to keep when they toppled the empire of the Ark. Regardless of his coaxing to return to the lower section of the cargo ship, Tetradore remained still, holding his ground much in the same fashion that his companion did so. He was far too determined to take this ship to simply let himself be led back from wince he had come.
His emerald gaze observed the fashion in which the fellow had started forward, his eyes never once leaving the smaller fellow's figure, despite the low growl reverberating from Tobias' throat. He noted the fashion at which this....Jackle had shrugged, just as he noted the change in the man's demeanor. His efforts to ruffle their feathers, however, fell entirely flat upon Tetradore. The were-panther hardly perturbed by the knowledge that Tobias might indeed foster vastly more capabilities then he. He stepped out from behind Tobias, reaching out to gingerly rustle the boy's hair in a rare sign of affection. This was his battle, not the lanky deviant's.
"He has indeed had more time to discover his capabilities then I have...however, you make the mistake, Jackle, of thinking that makes me somehow weak." His baritone voice was soft, holding a rare hint of true malice behind his words. He knew all too well that Tobias had discovered all of his powers, of that he would not lie but that in no way made Tetradore any less confident of his capabilities both as a leader and as a fighter. If anything, his time spent under the care of Risque had made Tetradore for moment's like this. It was these moments when his heart had hardened, when he was capable of carrying out whatever unspeakable act the vampire had summoned him for. "I'd hate to kill you. I kind of liked you." He spoke as he continued forward, pausing only several steps in front of the man.
It was that simple fact that stopped Tetradore from allowing the shift to over come him. Instead he allowed his own simple power to unfold around him, letting that aura of fear encompass him. He leaned forward, his eyes holding a degree of wickedness about them as he commented. "You know what I'm going to do to you." He stated simply, using the man's ability to detect those powers of others against him. "Let's see what you fear." His voice had dropped to a whisper as he assaulted the Jackle in front of him with his own newly found ability.
