In October 1993, a wyrm-tainted mage decimated the Sept (as well as many local Kindred), leaving only four Garou alive. A month later, one of the local Kindred allied himself with the Caern, buying the land to save it from development. The land is now under governmental protection as a park, though that control is tenuous. After several years, the sept was able to gain enough ground to re-open the Caern itself, dedicated to Old Man River. It is a caern of Will, reflecting the strength and determination of the mighty Mississippi itself.
