As a group that's been open for several years now, Havensake's history is quite extensive. This timeline will detail all large pieces of overall history not specific to individual Tribes. Things that may be important for new members to know will be bolded.
Important Pre-Group History: Havensake is a continuation of its predecessor, The Golden Butterfly. TGB took place in Nandryx. To kick off Havensake, a plague was introduced to the world of Nandryx, which slowly began killing the land and all creatures within it. The Spirits of Nandryx sacrificed themselves to create a portal into a new world, which would later be called Corondryx. This portal was called the Door. Tribe cats and loners alike began to come through the door into Corondryx to escape the plague and the dying land. The Door is a one-way portal, so it can only be used to go from Nandryx to Corondryx, but it is open indefinitely in the hopes to save as many cats from Nandryx as possible.
[YEAR 106]

Aeolan the Air Spirit
Nirvana the Earth Spirit
Ifrit the Fire Spirit
Tatl the Light Spirit
Scáth the Shadow Spirit
Kronus the Void Spirit
Cascada the Water Spirit
The tribes regain their tattoos and gain new members. They begin to settle into their new homes and start building their new camps.

Naga battles Demogorgan whilst the tribes hide, but is defeated. The tribes evacuate. The team and rescued cats return around this time with Talos’s help.
Efforts to communicate with each other occur. An underground team is formed to rescue Naga from Bebe, whilst the overground maintains communications and prepares for war. The latter manage to convince Aeolan, Nirvana, and Ifrit to fight with them.
Naga is rescued by the underground team, but needs rest. The battle soon begins, with teams focusing on freeing the now corrupt spirits. Many cats die during this, but are revived by the spirits. Rhea is killed after confronting Demogorgan.
With each freed spirit, Sin’s grasp on the Nulls slips and they slowly regain their old selves.
All spirits are saved. East - an ancient dragon spirit - sacrifices himself for the Spirits, which in turn allows the tribes to access the Primordial State.
