Caught within the struggle of a war he shouldn't have been a part of, a guild leader Rand Margas met his fortold doom at the hands of his own thieves. At his death, Rand's fiancee rushed to his side within the midst of battle, and in her rage, fought the guild until the traitorous thieves left her to her death beside her fallen beloved. Before her demise however, Leaia vowed she would resurrect them both and take vengeance on their traitors' descendants.
After a hundred horrible years, the war finally came to a slow cease. The kingdoms involved sought companionship and alliances to repair the damage that had been done. The Hundred Age War, fought for the right and control of the Barbados throne, was settled with a marriage between the Barbados soul heir, and the Rabbadon prince.
Guild Margas was captured and redirected into a mercenary group, known as the Reversers. Experimental procedures corrupted the guild's men into sinister creatures that suck now the light and music from the world bit by bit.
As desolation befalls the world at the loss of such a wonder, Leaia's reincarnation decides to take action. With a strong will as her past's soul slowly gains control, she uses forbidden magik to resurrect her long lost love. However, things go astray when Rand returns differently from whom he was. Despite his traitorous friends' actions, Rand refuses to seek out revenge on their descendents.
But when matters worsen, and the truth of the Reversers' identity is shown, Rand feels obliged to help them out. Despite the blame fallen upon him, and the hateful and fear filled glares he is given, Rand takes his guild's precious artifact, the Sonnet Mirror, and with it, uses it to reveal what's been hidden for nearly a century now.
With nothing for the light to shine on, it does not exist.
