This caused a rift between many of the Bards of the day as they questioned why such an order would be given, especially as some of them came into contact with a hooded figure that seemed eager to aid them. This ruse worked in that it caused many Bards to question their guild leaders motives and eventually many were instrumental in freeing Karovaas from his prison.

It was essential that Karovaas believe that he was freed by true dissenters within the guild, for he wouldn't go anywhere near the documents if he were just let go, so the guild as a whole was duped and manipulated by the leadership to fulfill that role.

	Once freed from his imprisonment, Karovaas sailed to Aesry and disappeared into the White Sentinels. Upon exiting the Sentinels he was seen carrying a music box containing a Naga, a mystical creature from which Bardic magic derives its power. Yalleck and his blue-cloaked mercenaries confronted Karovaas and a contingent of other bards on the Aesry docks, threatening to raze the city of Aesry to the ground unless the box was given to him. In order to avoid the cataclysmic destruction of the island city, Karovaas acquiesced and turned the box over. Yalleck, blue-cloaks in tow, returned to the mainland.

			Karovaas was skilled in all things combat, music and most of all magic. He was able to make intuitive leaps in enchante theory that left all of the other bards behind. As he progressed in the guild he was of the mind that "what was good for Karovaas was good for the Bards" (to quote Ezruh). As the years passed it became apparent that Karovaas and the majority of the Bards didn't share the same ideals.

			This eventually led to a schism within the guild where the members were forced to support either Siryn or Karovaas. Karovaas had few followers and a majority of the support went Siryn's way. At the time the guild was still very much pursued by the Dragon Priests, and shunned or mis-trusted by a vast majority of the general population. Soon after Karovaas and Siryn's opposing viewpoints began to strongly clash and fervent supporters of Siryn began to disappear with alarming frequency.

			Things further escalated when a proposal Karovaas brought before the guild to employ a new magic to attack the priests was soundly defeated. Two of Siryn's main supporters were instrumental in defeating this proposal and three weeks later they were both sacrificed on Dragon Priest altars. It was also discovered around that time that Karovaas had several documents that Dzree had uncovered in his possession. A council was called to decide what to do in regard to the sacrifice of those two bards. Karovaas and five others didn't show up. As a result it was surmised that Karovaas had traded the two supporters of Siryn for the documents.

			Medmaev and the Songsworn were sent northward toward Muspari to find Karovaas and his five supporters. The five rebels were brutally killed before they could reach the desert. One of the five was killed by Medmaev (who went mad after doing so), and that was Medmaep, his brother. The other four were presumably killed by Karovaas, most likely to eliminate witnesses. Karovaas was caught north of Riverhaven.

			===Imprisonment===
			Karovaas did not have Dzree's documents on him when he was caught and denied their existence. Karovaas was tortured and imprisoned and moved around for years and eventually permanently imprisoned in a cell beneath the Riverhaven guild where Ezruh acted as warden.

			Through the years Medmaev, in his madness, apparently developed some kind of cult following, apparently anti-Bard, which was hunted down and destroyed by the guild. However, a year or two prior to Karovaas being freed, Yaziyi caught wind of several new plots against the guild emenating from a strange band of cultists. The cultists turned out to be a branch of Medmaev's that had been missed.

			Having found that Karovaas would not part with any information regarding Dzree's documents, a plan was hatched by Silvyrfrost, MacFrae, Ezruh and Yaziyi to get him to reveal their location. Yaziyi ordered us to kill the cultists on sight and eliminate them. This caused a rift between many of the Bards of the day as we questioned why such an order would be given, especially as some of us came into contact with a hooded figure that seemed eager to aid us. This ruse worked in that it caused many of us to question our guild leaders motives and eventually many of us were instrumental in freeing Karovaas from his prison. Which, in the end, turned out to be the crux of the plan. It was essential that Karovaas believe that he was freed by true dissenters within the guild, for he wouldn't go anywhere near the documents if he were just let go, so we were duped and manipulated by the leadership to fulfill that role.

			===Liberation and Yalleck===
			Ezruh believed that Karovaas went directly to those documents they wished to find, but concurrent with Karovaas' liberation there was a mercenary army hired, blue-cloaks, led by Yalleck and Coln, whose sole purpose seemed to be killing Karovaas and causing as much destruction to those around them as they could. It was later revealed that the mercenary army had been hired by Medmaev.

			Once freed from his imprisonment, Karovaas sailed to Aesry and disappeared into the White Sentinels. Upon exiting the Sentinels he was seen carrying a music box containing a Naga, a mystical creature from which Bardic magic derives its power. Yalleck and his blue-cloaked mercenaries confronted Karovaas and a contingent of other bards on the Aesry docks, threatening to raze the city of Aesry to the ground unless the box was given to him. In order to avoid the cataclysmic destruction of the island city, Karovaas acquiesced and turned the box over. Yalleck, blue-cloaks in tow, returned to the mainland.

			===The Day the Music, and Yalleck, Died===
			Soon after Yalleck took possession of the music box Bardic magic began to wane and eventually stopped functioning all together. Yalleck, Coln and the blue-cloaked army were followed across the provinces of Illithi and Zoluren until, finally, Yalleck was cornered in the destroyed village near water sprites outside of the city of The Crossings.

			During a pitched battle involving not only Karovaas and Yalleck, but hordes of blue-cloaked mercenaries and major contingents of Bards, their friends, allies and opportunistic glory seekers, Karovaas managed to liberate the music box from Yalleck's possession. Yalleck was finally defeated when Karovaas ignited all of the naptha on the powerful Warrior Mage's person with the first singing of the Phoenix's Pyre enchante. The resulting explosion incinerated Yalleck and scattered the remaining blue-cloaked mercenaries.

			Soon after Coln was confronted and defeated in Tiger Clan, walking the Starry Road for his role in Medmaev's plan.

			===Redemption?===
			After the battle Karovaas worked with the Naga contained in the music box to restore Bardic magic and make many improvements to the methodology involved in enchante theory. His last words before disappearing were that he was returning to Aesry to work with the Naga to expand and refine the new techniques now available and to, additionally, attempt to make the Sentinels on the island accessible once again.

			He was last seen travelling in the company of Ezruh to the Chris's Mass Festival of Leth Deriel in the year 389.
