   In the past, when Garreg Mach was built, the Four Apostles performed the Rite of Rising in an attempt to resurrect Sothis. The ritual ended in failure and the Four Apostles disappeared. A thousand years later, Claude follows a suspicious individual late at night and notices that the person went through a hole in a secluded wall seeming to be heading underneath Garreg Mach Monastery. Edelgard and Dimitri asked him if he was sure the shady person went through there when Byleth comes along. Just so happening to be passing by is Linhardt, Ashe, and Hilda, whom their house leaders force to accompany them as they head below to explore this unknown cavern.

   There, they discover Abyss, a secret underground settlement beneath Garreg Mach that has an uneasy truce with the Church, and is defended by the school's secret fourth house, the Ashen Wolves. The Ashen Wolves explain that they have a truce with the Church where neither side will interfere in each others' affairs, but mercenaries have recently been attempting to raid Abyss. Byleth and the students agree to help defend Abyss. Aelfric, the Church's liaison to Abyss, arrives and warns Byleth that factions within the Church would like to see Abyss purged. He also theorizes the mercenaries are looking for the Chalice of Beginnings, the primary component of the Rite of Rising.

   The Ashen Wolves decide to look for the Chalice on their own and manage to obtain it, but Aelfric is captured by the mercenaries and held ransom for the Chalice. Rhea agrees to allow the Ashen Wolves to trade the Chalice for Aelfric, concluding nobody knows how to recreate the Rite of Rising. The Ashen Wolves also privately admit to Byleth that they are the descendants of the Four Apostles, ordered by the Church to keep their identities secret. Byleth and the Ashen Wolves head out to rescue Aelfric, but it is revealed he is the mastermind behind the attacks on Abyss and kidnaps the Ashen Wolves along with the Chalice. Rhea then arrives and warns Byleth that Aelfric intends to sacrifice the Ashen Wolves to activate the Chalice to revive Byleth's mother Sitri.

   Byleth manages to rescue the Ashen Wolves but Aelfric continues with the ritual anyway, mutating into an umbral beast as a result, forcing Byleth and Ashen Wolves to slay him. In recognition of their deeds, Rhea disbands the Ashen Wolves and allows them to return to the surface world. They all decide to go their separate ways while promising to return to help each other and Byleth if needed.

2. #2Bylethselective

   Keys: byleth

   At some point after acquiring the Sword of the Creator, but before merging with Sothis, Byleth and the three house leaders discover a hidden passage while tailing a mysterious figure in the dead of night. Inquisitive, Byleth and the three house leaders, as well as Ashe, Linhardt, and Hilda investigate and wind up below the Academy in a hidden area known as Abyss. It is here that they encounter four ruffian students who call themselves the Ashen Wolves, the unofficial fourth house of the academy.

   It is later revealed that Sitri's grave is actually empty as Rhea could not bear to bury her after her death. She instead froze her in time and placed her in the abyss.

3. #3Yuriselective

   Keys: yuri

   First appearing in Chapter 1, Yuri and the other Abyssians have been dealing with an unusual amount of surface contact, all of whom have been aggressive. He is seen planning with Balthus when Byleth and their students discover a hole in the surface leading into the Abyss. They encounter an Abyssian, who flees to Yuri and informs him of their presence. Yuri believes that they do not intend to attack with their meager numbers, but decides to meet them as they are not knights, but are still working with the Church.

   Upon meeting them, the Abyssians challenge the arrivals, but are promptly defeated. Balthus and the others inform the group of their peoples' plight, and Byleth agrees to help them. They are able to drive the invading mercenaries out, thanks to a trap set up by Yuri to lure the mercenaries to them.

   When Aelfric is captured after retrieving the Chalice, Yuri accompanied the others to rescue him. Once Aelfric was rescued however, he revealed his true motives, and Yuri also appeared to have sided with him. Yuri is teleported away along with the other members of the Ashen Wolves, but tells Byleth to save him and the others.

   Returning to the Abyss, Yuri reveals his true colors to Aelfric, though he is subsequently bound with his fellow members into a blood vortice. He and the others survive, thanks to Byleth's timely arrival as he had warned them beforehand. He later assists in taking down Aelfric, who turned into an Umbral Beast after an improper ritual.

   In Yuri and Constance's shared Paralogue, the two learn of a Relic that Duke Gerth is taking care of. They decide to seek an audience with him, but when they arrive, they find him being attacked by thieves. Duke Gerth takes care of one of the thieves, only for the thief to transform into a Demonic Beast, surprising Yuri. More thieves turn into Demonic Beasts, but all are put down, and the enemy commander is routed. Following the battle, Duke Gerth decides to hand the relic, the Fetters of Dromi, to them. Yuri stated that he had accompanied Byleth and Constance after realizing it was compatible with him, and promised them that he would not misuse the Hero's Relic.
