Legacy of Kain/Recap: Difference between revisions

A direct sequel to ''Soul Reaver 2'', and so far the last game in the series. Kain's story continues immediately from the end of ''Soul Reaver 2'', where Kain is desperately seeking to find Raziel, having seen the disasterous consequences of the time paradox he engineered. At the same time, he seeks to fulfill his destiny as the self-assumed Scion of Balance, a figure destined to return Nosgoth to vampire rule. [[Meanwhile in Thethe Future]], Raziel has been held trapped in the Elder God's realm for five centuries, refusing to submit to the Elder God's will for fear of his destiny finding him again. Relenting when he realizes he cannot hide forever, Raziel emerges during the time of ''Blood Omen''. Though the Elder God does not allow him access to the portals to shift between realms anymore, Raziel discovers he can manifest in the material realm by possessing corpses. As the two travel they discover murals retelling the Ancient-Hylden war. Raziel also discovers the instigation of the war--the Ancients worshippe the Elder God, and declared war on the Hylden for not submitting to his reign over their souls. When the Ancients were made immortal, the Elder God granted Moebius the power to rise up and destroy them since their souls were no longer under his command either. They also empower their versions of the Reaver, Kain by finding fragments of the Balance Emblem and Raziel by absorbing the souls of the very first Ancient Pillar Guardians.
