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.
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.

If there is anything to be said of Tetradore, it is that he was always perceptive. Such skills were honed from the many years he had remained confined to his feline form, stuck watching the world that went on around him with no one to converse with but himself - and his vampire mistress when she so longed for a more intimate touch. His vibrant emerald gaze watched the apprehension that laced every taunt muscle of the canine. She was quite clearly considering her means for escape - or perhaps judging the outcome should she roll the dice and engage with the ebony panther. One-on-one, Tetradore had always particularly excelled, his capabilities only furthered by the ring he ran behind him. It wasn't terribly peculiar for him to step within those roped confines, nor was he any stranger to winning. It was a necessity perhaps, thanks to his assertive position within these parts of the city. His pointed ears flicked only slightly at the low growl that reverberated in the back of her vocal cords but he remained all together still and apathetic to her presence. Despite her nearly feral behavior, Tetradore was entirely certain that she was, in fact, a were. Though how long it had been since she had seen her mortal form remained to be seen. Never the less, Tetradore risked the chance, his mind reaching out to touch hers.
The male watched in an almost inquisitive fashion as the girl reacted so peculiarly to his efforts. He noted the way she shrank against the wall, her crystalline blue eyes dilating in fashion that screamed fear. He could quite literally feel the aura that radiated around her, thanks entirely to his dominion over the element. It was reaching out to him, begging him to merely touch it, toy with it, utilize it, and yet, he remained passive. His distraction was halted quite immediately by the girl's continued growl, drawing his attention and for a moment he blinked simply, refocusing upon the coyote in front of him. Her ivory canines were flashing in the bright lights that hung above them, flooding the space with it's florescent stare. She shook her head in an almost dizzying fashion - enough so that Tetradore knew it was perhaps best to stick with the more animalistic means of communication, at least for now. His mind receded from hers perhaps as effortlessly as it had come into existence, taking the hint from the fashion that she seemed to paw at her cranium in some measure to rid his presence from her sanctuary of thoughts. Never the less, Tetradore found himself entirely appreciating that moment of clarity, the moment when she realized what had truly occurred, her glowing gaze locking with his in a perilous second of certainty.
Her snarled forewarning was almost lost in the deafening roar of the crowd that surrounded him as the leopard delivered the finishing blow to the horned goat. It was just enough to catch him off guard, sending the feline leaping backwards as the girl lunched towards where he had only moment's ago been sitting. She had, at the very least, succeeded in placing her self directly in his face, the gesture alone finally coaxing a reaction out of the otherwise despondent feline. His fur rose on the end, his tail whipping as his jaws parted to release that jungle cat roar. The sound alone was enough to cause the crowd behind him to pause and turn, the weight of the congregation's gaze fully settled upon the pair. Tetradore, however, kept his attention fully upon the young woman, his body lowered ever so slightly, ready to move with grace out of the woman's grasp. She lunged, only this time he had less time to react then before, the wounds he had received from Frost and, days later, the bolt of a Dark Hunter's crossbow had taken it's tole upon the otherwise adept panther. Instead, he relied solely upon upon his power of teleportation to get him out of harm's way, determined not to allow himself to be placed in such an outwardly submissive position.
In a matter of seconds, the feline had moved from his place in front of her to the darkness right outside of the large cargo ship's open door - cutting off her only means of escape. His gaze, however, remains entirely steadfast upon the coyote's figure, the vibrant emerald slowly beginning to take on an otherworldly glow. It was Tetradore's responsibility to ensure that the cargo ship retained some resemblance of order, even amongst the organized chaos. It was his duty to keep everyone in line - to ensure that boundaries and rules were respected. It was a line the female in front of him was tentatively dancing upon. Cornering her, he knew, would only cause her to lash out and quite frankly he didn't want the weres within the ships' hull to shift in reaction to her perceived threat. Instead, he had decided it was best to lead the girl from his home, hoping that she would retain some sort of eye contact with him to allow his hypnotic gaze to take hold. It took a measurable amount of effort to protect those sense of peace and placidity towards her, to try to get her to sooth her angry and frightened soul. Weather or not it worked, however, was another matter entirely. Perhaps though, he might find himself able to lead her back into the comfort of her shadows and maybe then, Tetradore would be able to further inspect the girl's decided savageness.
