The area that encompasses South Mountain Park once contained a large Sept and Protectorate watched over by the Spirit of the Lights. The mysterious totem was revered for the creativity and dreaming it espoused. The Garou held the entire preserve, and fought valiantly against the Wyrm and the encroach of the city around it.

In 2011, the Sept scored a dramatic victory, seemingly having cleared out the Hive that was based in the Lost Dutchman's Mine. Unfortunately, the very next year, the Gnostic plague would wipe out the Sept of Mysterious Lights.

In 2013, the tattered remnants of Garou who had narrowly escaped death reformed, seeking aid from overseas. After obtaining a Shard Seed from the Sept of Steel and Glass in Beijing, China, they were able to rededicate a portion of the preserve to Chuckwall and re-establish a Caern.

After a couple of years of rebuilding, they were moving to clear the rest of the preserve of Weaver which sparked a furious battle with the Spider and her minions. Seeing an opportunity, the Wyrm, who had been lying dormant for several years, made their move and joined the battle. All sides were severely weakened but the Sept remained.

In 2016, the remaining members of the Sept called for assistance from the Garou nation - needing able-bodied Garou, Kin and even Fera to maintain the Caern. The Sept has been building since - constantly fending off the ever-expanding influence of the Weaver.
