The banishment from the Furfolk had not been kind nor gentle. To the Ratkin, their grievous insults against the Great Caretaker were too much, especially once some of them had attempted to steal away the Caretaker's hallowed remains. It was under the wise rule of King Skretak the Bold that the rats sworn under Pack Clawcrest had fought the seditious Furfolk, driving back the carnivores' maws with spear, sword an bolt. It was him who him who led the victorious counter-charge at the Battle of Balecrack. It was him who rode out atop the drake-lizard Pelanor with his righteous silvered blade, Fearbreaker, who broke the enemies lines. It was him who lead a host of rat-knights straight against the Lion Lord Redmane. And it was him who was fell by an arrow through the heart, fired from an unnamed Herbivore.

His dying breath was spent counselling his son, Skretak II, on fading lessons of rulership and a prophecy. That the Pack of Clawcrest was destined to form a great kingdom, one that would stand top all other Ratkin dens and warrens, a Highwarren. And that far, far across the Deathless Desert there would be a roost of iron dragons from Antiquity which would be their new home as foretold by the words of the Caretaker. And so, with his father's crown and blade in hand, King Skretak II gathered his people and left their old lives behind, abandoning the Furfolk to their squabbling ways.

Hunger, thrist, raiders, predators, many did not make it through the hostile dunes, but more than enough made the harrowing exodus. In a trial by fire, Skretak II led his people across ancient roads and past oasis springs, vowing he would not be crowned until a suitable home had been built. And thus on the 30th day, King Skretak the Uncrowned led his people to that ancient roost of Lespia International Airport. But to them it was simply Lesa, many of the letters now missing or hanging on by loose screws. And so, by the mercy and the will of the Great Caretaker, the Ratkin of Pack Clawcrest had found their new home of Castle Lesaden to form a new kingdom, a kingdom called Highwarren.
