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

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.

Despite the fashion at which the hunter had held his nephew so unceremoniously above the ground with the tip of his blade pointed at the kitten, Tetradore had hardly wavered. On the contrary his prowl remained entirely consistent in it's slow circular forward momentum, his intent quite clear. However, despite his singular attention upon the last of the remaining hunters, he was never given the opportunity to down the fellow before the flying form of his younger sibling collided so heavily into the man's form, sending him falling forward into the ground. The male's ears flickered ever so slightly at the sound of that crushing skull, the beast hardly perturbed by that sickening crunch or the fashion at which the hunter immediately went still. In fact, instead his tense figure begun to relax with the perceived threat already vanquished. Now they just had to deal with the fall out of the events that had already transpired.
It was his sibling's scream that caused his attention to deviate, his emerald eyes following her figure as she so abruptly shifted, scrambling forward to engulf the fallen babe in her arms. Tetradore's cranium tilted to the side ever so slightly, his ears perking forward to watch as she checked over the child. He remained decidedly still, his tail curled around his figure as he felt Tobias land beside him, the second child within his mouth. His gaze shifted towards the spotted leopard at his side, following the young woman's gaze as she stared up with accusation deep within her dark eyes. Tetradore watched the way Tobias stumbled forward to present the girl with their daughter, the man hardly reacting whatsoever as the man leaned down to lick his child in an entirely animalistic fashion.
He hardly bothered to correct the man, knowing all too well the point would be moot. Slowly, he rose to his feet, padding forward to join the small congregation as Tobias made ever effort to explain himself and the train of thought that had led the boy-man to the forest within the first place. The feline's tail begun to lash at even the mention of Frost, his ears immediately pinning backwards against his skull as a low growl begun to reverberate within his throat. She had blatantly ignored his demands to remain away from the ivory steed and though it had certainly irked him that she so went against his word, now was hardly his place to correct her, not when she looked up at him with such hopeless uncertainty.
A soft breath left the panther's parted jaws, his head shifting ever so slightly. In truth, he had never been terribly close to either of the twins. He'd never spent a moment alone with them, never truly bonded with them perhaps in the fashion that an uncle should and so he hardly cared for what happened to them except for the effect it might have upon his sister. She would never forgive him if he did nothing, regardless of whether or not he felt it might have been adequate punishment for going against his word. Instead, the creature begun his forward moving, circling the couple till he forced their figures against each other so that he was capable of touching them both in some fashion or another.
It was only when he was certain of this physical contact that he allowed his power to take over, the small group blanketed in the blackness of shadows for but seconds before those shadows disappeared to a far too bright florescent hallway that smelled nearly sterile. It was all too much an assault on Tetradore's senses, a soft hiss leaving his mouth as his eyes adjusted to the sudden light. The nurses in the nearby nurses station stared at the group in a mixture of fear and awe. What a site they were, two naked humans with faces covered in blood - two babies and panther at their feet. At the very least, even if Tetradore was unable to help, atleast he'd gotten them to someone who could.
