    Kain reflects on millennia of uncertainty and doubt, remembers his all but futile struggle against shadows on invisible strings moved by unseen hands...the atrocities he has committed and would do so again...for that second throw, a better throw against his destiny.
    And so he did match them, move by move...the tyrannous stars. Now he stands alone, at the end of all things, forced to make the choice again.
    ..Sacrifice himself...
    His piercing eyes look up at the night sky, searching...
    ..Or let Nosgoth die.
    What is a King to do?
    He lowers his weary head.
    The abyssal tendrils reach out to him, infinite eyes watching, imagining the taste of his soul, so close...so stagnant, so wretched..
    "AS LONG AS SINGLE ONE OF US STANDS..WE ARE LEGION."
    Those words...those are his own words..but that voice...like an eternity of torment condensed into a perpetual harrowing SCREAM.
    Kain looks down, the Reaver blade is engulfed in white hot fire, sapphire flames blazing through the eye sockets of the skull guard.
    He smiles, lifts up his head, eyes filled with regret, hope and...defiance.
    "Raziel, you ARE worthy."
    Kain, The Scion of Balance raises his right hand, his sword..
    The dark creeping parasitic mass of tendrils halted..hesitating.
    For even false gods knew what it meant when Kain raised the Soul Reaver in anger.
    It meant you were dead.
    VAE VICTIS!!

    Soul Reaver takes place within the fictional world of Nosgoth, in which the health of the Earth is tied to the nine Pillars of Nosgoth, and each pillar is represented by a guardian. Prior to the events of the game, the Guardians were corrupted, and after Kain murdered eight of them, he realized it was the ninth. When Kain refused to sacrifice himself to restore the Pillars, he condemned Nosgoth to decay eternal, and proceeded to resurrect his six lieutenant vampires, including Raziel, to rule the land. At the time of the Soul Reaver intro sequence, vampires are the dominant species on earth, as are super predators, humans have been decimated, and each vampire tribe has claimed a region of Nosgoth and turned their attention to internal affairs. . Unknown to vampires there is the Elder God, called Vortanius, a powerful entity, who controls the Wheel of Destiny, a cycle of reincarnation of souls, a loop of predestination. However, since vampires are immortal, their souls do not turn on the wheel, causing the earth to decay while the Wheel remains immobile. When Raziel is revived, a thousand years after the game's intro sequence, Nosgoth is on the brink of total ecological collapse.
    Characters
    The protagonist of Soul Reaver is the vampire-turned-spook named Raziel, whom Kain murders at the beginning of the game. Although Kain is the protagonist of the previous game, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, in this installment he is the main antagonist. The Elder God resurrects and guides Raziel, explaining the game's controls, and describes the events leading up to the story.5 Ariel, who preceded Kain as guardian of the Pillar of Balance, appears as a spirit and provides advice to the player. While searching for her, Raziel meets his siblings - Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab, and Dumah - who serve as bosses in the game. Each has developed unique abilities, which are partially absorbed when Raziel kills them and devours their souls. A fifth brother, Turel, was omitted due to limitations in development time.6
    Argument
    At the beginning of the game Raziel approaches Kain's throne and shows his newly acquired wings. In an act of apparent jealousy, Kain rips the bones from Raziel's wings and orders him to be thrown into the Lake of the Dead, a natural whirlpool. However, Raziel is seemingly resurrected by the Elder God and this He convinces him to be the one who restores Nosgoht's balance by becoming his "soul reaver", his avenging angel (soul reaver) and takes revenge, assassinating Kain.With the guidance of the Ancient God, Raziel he adapts to his new existence and returns to Nosgoth. Upon infiltrating a necropolis inhabited by vampires, Raziel finds his brother Melchiah, who has regressed into a beast unable to maintain his own flesh.8 Raziel murders Melchiah and devours her soul, after which he confronts Kain in the face of the ruined Pillars of Nosgoth in the Clan Shrine. Kain does not seem surprised to see Raziel, he even appears to be waiting for him, Kain appeals to his anger by confessing what he did with his vampiric clan, which further enrages the latter. When Raziel begins to criticize him, Kain simply launches a tirade against Raziel, pointing out the disgrace into which their empire has fallen and challenging him to combat. Kain quickly defeats Raziel and attempts to hit him with the Soul Reaper. Reaver), a powerful sword that absorbs the souls of his enemies. However, it breaks when it hits Raziel and Kain escapes, strangely satisfied. Raziel enters the spectral plane and finds the spirit of the sword, which he hooks up with Raziel. After this, Raziel meets Ariel, who restores his health, and the location of his brother Zephon is revealed to him by the Elder God.
    Raziel ventures into a great cathedral once inhabited by humans and finds the Zephonim clan there. After climbing up the cathedral, he finds Zephon, who now has the body of a large arachnid, which is fused with the cathedral that is now his home. Raziel kills Zephon and uses his newly acquired power (scaling certain walls ) to infiltrate an ancient crypt. There he discovers chests of members of the Sarafan, an order of religious fanatics, vampire hunters, who were killed centuries before Kain ruled Nosgoth. To Raziel's horror, he realizes that the crypt was made for him and his siblings; As a cruel irony, Kain revived the Sarafan to serve as his vampire children. Raziel falls into a secret passageway under the crypt and finds a flooded abbey, inhabited by the Rahabim clan, whose members have evolved into amphibians, overcoming its weakness to water; their leader, Rahab, has become a merman.

      Square Enix has treated the Kain series like garbage, their failed attempts called Dead Sun and Nosgoth prove that. I've boycotted Square Enix now for over 8 years, refusing to play any of their games until the Kain series gets the respect it deserves and is treated properly by them. Sadly though, that day will likely never come. November 12 will mark 18 years since Defiance came out, the last game in the series.

    The original ending of Soul Reaver involved Raziel activating the Silenced Cathedral's great weapon to blast 'a deadly hymn' that wiped all of vampiredom from the face of Nosgoth. I can't help thinking the sluggish, wheezing machinery, the grunting cries of animalistic fury, and the ultimate pipe-organ music and choral singing is meant to represent that exact moment. Raziel, bereft of his brothers and master, watching as the world dies beneath him. Avenged.
    Victorious.
    And utterly alone...

A Millenia later, one of these heretics were reborn. He was offered reprieve from damnation, so he may aid a group of other equally fated/epic heroes save the world. Always under threat of returning to his own personal hell, he seeks away to shake his bonds and the metaphorical gun pressed to his back, and if possible, take down the parasitic creatures, known commonly, as gods. yeah i like LOK
