In the spring of 2014, it had become apparent to Rook and Bishop Lyall that their family was not as it was in the years before. Their older siblings had long since grown up, their aunts more cautious and more wary, their parents maturing into old age; and, when Borden’s mind had begun to slip and make demands of the wolves of Grizzly Hollow, Rook took it upon himself to leave home within Renegades Reach and seek out the very place he had only ever known about in stories about his parents’ past.

Followed by his twin sister Bishop, the pair immediately set out to Relic Lore in search of any clues or directions that would lead them to Borden and Jaysyek’s old pack lands. They succeeded but it was not without help. Along the way, much to Bishop’s dismay, Rook had gathered up a small group of supporters - Namid, Titan, and their older brother Ryvet - and the aid of the Whisper Caverns wolves. Things would later escalate, however, when Rook’s impulsiveness was paired with the discovery that his parents had followed suit and returned to Southern Eden. In finding an ally and companion within Quil Attaya, Rook’s hope to restore what once was, his plans to reestablish the “old" Grizzly Hollow backfired. His own aunt and uncle within Willow Ridge turned against him, Bishop and Namid left him, the promise of a summer romance was lost, and Cut Rock River - the pack which had offered him shelter for the winter in exchange for his services as some sort of tracker - sent him off on a terrible note.

The underlying plan worked in his favor, however, and eventually the family was reunited. Beneath Borden and Jaysyek, Rook had assembled a small party of family and friends, those who had vowed to help look after their Leaders and to keep one another safe. The wolves of Grizzly Hollow would rise and live again under his watch, but it would not be without other hardships and sacrifice.
