History
No one is really sure why the sept wasn't noticed sooner when it went dark, over twenty years ago. Recently it was noticed though, and the call for a pack to go investigate went out.
Those wanting to be considered for this pack were called to Legend Rock Sept in Wyoming. After deliberations and many challenges a pack was formed and sent out.
It took some time till the pack found the Outer Bawn of the darkened sept. There they met a lone kin, Brisia, who told them a sad tale of going on errands with her mother when she was thirteen. When they returned to the sept that night everyone was gone. Things that had been held lay where they were dropped. Everything from plate to weapons and unbound clothing. There was not kin nor shifter to be found anywhere.....
Dedication Day Speech
As spoken by Cries-to-Blue-Corn-Moon, Galliard Stargazer, at The Moot, November 2024.
At the turn of the millennia a rapture style event took place upon the sept in North Falls, MN. Many details of which still illude us. Nor do we know why it took two decades to realize for the Nation to realize this sept went dark. However, having been away on errands during the event, Anna and Brisia Kulesh, Shadow Lord kin, survived but returned to find the sept empty. Anything not bound to a member's body fell to the ground. For years the pair did their best to maintain the sept.
Today, on this day of Thanksgiving 2024, we howl for Anna Kulesh who passed three years before our arrival. She will be given a permanent place in the hill of Hallowed Heroes for her many years of service. Brisia will be honored with a stone when Gaia chooses to call her home, hopefully many many years from now.
Also today, we name this sacred place Sept of Eternal Hope, in dedication of their unerring hope over these decades that Gaia would return. We also dedicate this caern to Chimera and give thanks to the spirit for shrouding these lands.
