From the back cover: In the beginning, all was perfect Darkness and then the perfection was broken temporarily by the Light. At the moment the Light was its strongest, the Great Darkness returned in the form of the Dark Soul and the murderous Dark Legion. The first child of the Darkness was Ilian, Mistress of the Void, lover of the Dark Soul, Leader of the Dark Apostles, and through them the Dark Legion itself. It was Ilian that brought us the dark ages that destroyed our science, nullified our once-sacred technology. She led her brothers against us. She is the Herald of the Darkness, and if she has her way, the Light will be extinguished again, and the Darkness will reign forever.
