Upon settling Aleron, they had raised their children and continued to evolve as handlers of energy forces. The Conrads of the Light believed their thriving, peaceful world would endure. Then "the children" learned of the exile from Karna, causing the Conrads' utopian life to disintegrate. Desiring to become the next Conrad leader, Xavier of the House of Baldemar craves vengeance.
