*Author's note: O.K. This isn't the start of my story it introduces it. Now if you played all of the Legacy of Kain games all the past stuff is almost the same, but I had to tweak it a little so that my story could fit in, this will all be explained in the chapter you are about to read. I do not own legacy of Kain or any of its original characters. Please review I would really appreciate it, even criticism. For people that do not know much about the game I have marked, through this first chapter, things that are the most questioned about so that you can know some things about Nosgoth's past. This is also quick because it's just explaining things.

Epilogue

~`~`~`~`~`~

Over thousands of years ago the Hylden*1 cursed the Vampire race to an immortal life of misery. The pain of never being spun in the Wheel of Life*2 was to much for some to take. The Vampire race was unable to reproduce. Soon the Vampire numbers began to dwindle. As a last resort Janos Audren*3 passed his dark gift to a human who became the vampire Vorador*4. Unknown to anyone else Janos created a second, a woman named Vert Black*5. The woman was unable to control her blood thirst. She became too hard to control and was cast in to exile. Filled with rage she swore revenge, trying to keep her bloodline alive, she failed at every attempt only making mindless monsters. Until she strangely became with child. After birth the child showed no vampirec qualities. Driven mad by all the failed attempts, she left the child in a human city and Through her self in to what would soon become the Abyss.

     Thousand of years later a noble man was murdered and brought back to life with the Hart of Darkness*6. The fledgling Kain was then sent to assonate all of the other Pillar Gardens*7. After Kain feasted on his last enemy's blood Arel*8 reveled her true wishes for Kain.  To Ariel's shock, Kain denied her request of him to sacrifice him self to save the pillars. Meanwhile Mobus the time stremer*9 plotted the fall of the vampires. Hoping to alter the course of Nosgoth's history, Kain assassinated the young King William*10 the Just, who would become the diabolical tyrant known as the Nemesis. Killing William wile he was still loved had sent the humans in to a hysteria. Once Kain returned he found that Mobus led the Sarafan*11 bent to kill all vampires. Mobus plan had worked. All fledglings, Vorador and Janos and any other vampire except Kain were murdered by the Sarafan. However, all of the Sarafans best warriors were killed in a battle with a demon. Mobus was also found dead. Kain came to rule Nosgoth with his blade the Soul Rever*12  building his throne at the foot of the cruppted Balance Pillar. Braking in to a Sarafan tomb he brought Razel*13 and his brothers to life as his lutenets. As prophesied Razel superseded his master in his evolution. Kain then cast Razel in to the abyss. Razel awakens years later and is asked by the Elder God*14 to kill Kain. Razel then hunts Kain to a time streaming device. Kain jumps in to the portal and is transported in to the past. Razel fallows Kain in to the past only to find out his true destiny is in side the blade Soul Rever and that Kain is the one destined to be the vampire savior. With a new knowledge of his destiny Razel is absorbed in to the Rever, both revers merged in to one. Touched by his long time friends last words* Kain is filled with a new hope for Nosgoth's future. Welding the Soul Rever Kain sets on a quest to find the new Pillar Gardens and return Nosgoth to Vampirec rule. After thousands of years of searching he began to lose hope. The humans began to rise again. The sarafan arose once more. A powerful new Sarafan leader arose and only by a stroke of luck was he able to kill Kain and steel the Soul Rever. Thousand of years passed and now it is the year 2004. The infected pillars spread corruption. The sarafan wiped out the vampires and now among humans they were considered a myth. Nosgoth now more crupped than before crawling with humans. Sarafan police patrolled the streets doing as much damage as common criminals. People starved and died in the streets every day. Decease ran ramped. Murder was a normal. But a  small underground cult formed. Finding ancient writings they began to believe in vampires. There supishons were confirmed when they came across a tomb. In side lay a body that was not human.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hear I've explained some things in more detail. Also I know that some of the story line is a little mixed up, so no need to tell me.

1. Hylden ~ this was an ancient race at war  with the vampires for domence of Nosgoth.

2. The Wheel of Life ~ Every thing believed that there souls after they died were spun in the "well of life" then reborn. The immortal curse cast on the vampires keped them from being reborn, this drove some mad so they killed them selves. 

3. Janos Audren ~ the oldest born vampire. He made Vorador, and enchanted the blood Rever with its thirst.

His hart was also used to make Kain into a vampire.

4. Vorador ~ the first human to be changed in to a vampire. He is also Crafted the blood Rever which Janos would enchant, and Razel would inhabit, and Kain would destined to weld.

5. Vert Black ~ now this is someone I made up she is not in the real games.

6. Hart of Darkness ~ Demon Razel witnessed Janos's hart being ripped from Janos's own chest by human Razel. The sarafan kept the hart thinking it was the root of all evil. Later the hart was taken to bring Kain in to vampirehood. When older Kain came across demon Razel in soul Rever 2 Razel rips the hart from Kain to resurrect Janos so he could get anwsers. Sadly this only gave way for the hylden to be able to possess Janos.

7. Pillar Gardens ~ the pillars are basically the hart of Nosgoth, each one has a garden. After Ariel died Kain was to take her place as the balance garden.

Pillar gardens:

Mortanius the Necromancer (Pillar of Death) - Mortanius is an ancient sorcerer, skilled in the arts of black magic. He is one of the most power Necromancers in all of Nosgoth He serves as one of the Circle of Nine (The Pillar of Death). He resurrected Kain as a vampire.

8.Ariel (Pillar of Balance) - Ariel's, Guardian of Balance, murder made Nupraptor unleash a wave of energy that poisoned the minds of the remaining Guardians. Ariel is the one that informs Kain of his importance and quest - he must kill all surviving Guardians to restore the Pillars. Bound eternally to the Pillars, Ariel awaits an heir who is Kain.

Nupraptor the Mentalist (Pillar of the Mind) - Nupraptor was driven mad with grief after his beloved Ariel died. Hoping to avenge Ariel, he unleashed a psychic wave of energy that destroyed the other Guardians mind. Nupraptor, no longer caring what damage he caused, destroyed the Circle and started the deterioration of Nosgoth.

Dejoule the Energist (Pillar of Energy) - Dejoule destested Vampire's and used her powers to expand the walls of the Dark Eden. She had intended to give the plants and animals in the Dark Eden unholy strength and power.

Bane the Druid (Pillar of Nature) - Bane aided Dejoule in the creation of the Dark Eden and the mutation of the plants and animals.

Anacrothe the Alchemist (Pillar of States) - Anacrothe aided in the creation of the Dark Eden also. However, during Bane and Dejoule's last battle with Kain he fled. At the end of Kain's quest he sees Mortanius and Anacrothe arguing and Mortanius kills Anacrothe.

Moebius (Pillar of Time) - Moebius the Time Streamer disguised himself as an old man known as the oracle. Kain ventured to visit him and Moebius guided him. Yet, the advice given was only to lure Kain down the path Moebius had carefully drawn out - a path to kill all vampires. Moebius's plan worked and Kain, unwillingly, sets off a movement known as the Vampire Purge(caused by Kain killing King William).

Azimuth the Planar (Pillar of Dimension) - Azimuth ruled from a religious position and had the power to summon demons that destroyed and ruined cities.

Malek (Pillar of Conflict) - Malek, fanatical warrior-priest of the Sarafan, is the protector of the Circle of Nine. After failing to save six members of the circle from the Vampire Vorador, he was fused to his armor causing him to be damned for eternity.

.

9. Mobus the Time Streamer ~ this guy is a real ass. He tricked Kain to kill William knowing what it would do. Then led the sarafan to kill all the vampires. he then tricked Razel all through Soul Rever 2 and some of Defiance to try to kill Kain. Moebius is one of the most ancient members of the Circle of Nine, the oligarchy of sorcerers sworn to serve and protect the Pillars of Nosgoth. Moebius – also known as the Time Streamer – serves as Guardian of the Pillar of Time, a role that grants him the power to bend time and manipulate history. In the Nosgoth before the Decline, Moebius passed himself off as "The Oracle" giving benevolent and kind advice to anyone who sought it. Now, after his mind has been tainted by Nupraptor's (who went insane after Arils death) magic, he causes trouble and torment by predicting omens and horrific events, exploiting them to his own ends. He is killed by Kain, his soul then devoured by Raziel after laying his eyes upon the squid thing his people worship, the elder god.

10. Young King William the Just (Nemesis) ~ he was a young king that later turned in to The tyrant Nemeses . Kain goes back in time to assonate him before he turns in to a monster. Because Kain killed him when he was still a good guy, humans hated Kain.

11. Sarafan ~ are a monastic sect of warrior-priests, made legendary by their holy war against the vampire menace in Nosgoth's early history. The Sarafan are formidable enemies, renowned both for their ruthlessness and a fanatical devotion to their crusade.  The Sarafan Lord was the individual responsible for the revival of the Sarafan order. With his army of Sarafan, Glyph knights and guards, he was able to defeat Kain's vampire army, two hundred years after Kain refused to sacrifice himself at the Pillars. Wearing the Nexus Stone, The Sarafan Lord was protected from the Soul Reaver while he and Kain fought. Kain was defeated, and apparently killed. The Sarafan Lord claimed the Soul Reaver, and the Sarafan set about bringing Nosgoth under their control. A few vampires became servants of the Sarafan Lord in order to save themselves. After Kain woke from his long though to be death, he sought revenge. He killed all of the Vampire traitors, Faustus, Sebastian, Marcus and the Sarafan lord reclaiming the soul rever.

12. Soul Rever ~ Razel is the soul Rever. His soul inhabits the blood Rever making it lust for souls. In the first soul Rever Kain brakes it over Razel, the resin it brakes is that it is him, I cant stress this anuf this is the hole twist of the game.

13. Razel ~ Ok hear I go... deep breath... First when he is a human he is the highest sarafan lutenet, then he is killed by his demon self, only to be brought back as Kains first lutenet, then Kain kills him and he becomes demon Razel who kills all his vampire brothers then goes back in time to kill his human brothers and him self so that Kain can.....I think you get the point. Razel is also the living force in side the sward Soul Rever, its hard to explain. Razel is absorbed in to the Soul Rever at the end of Defiance.

14. Elder God ~ he is a giant squid that everybody worships. He brings Razel back to life. He hates the vampires too. I don't see why everybody hates them , janos is kick ass. the elder god sucks. The Elder God's origins are shrouded in mystery, and few in Nosgoth even know of its dark existence. Its tentacles coil throughout the deep and remote places of Nosgoth's murky underworld, but its subtle influence reaches across the land. 

*Now that you know a little about Nosgoths past……………..
