Blood Omen 2 - Kain and Vorador Argument

Blood Omen 2 is a video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos. It is the fourth game in the Legacy of Kain series. Although chronologically it is set between the events of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, the events of the game did not occur in the original history, and only took place in Nosgoth's history due to a paradoxical time-altering event which took place in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 which distorted the timeline. It was released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Gamecube, and PC. The vampire, Kain, refused to sacrifice himself to restore the Pillars of Nosgoth at the end of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, thus damning the Pillars (and the world of Nosgoth) to an eternity of depravity and decay. Following his refusal, Kain built a vampire army with Vorador's help and attempted to conquer the world. Four hundred years after the events of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Kain awakes in Meridian (Nosgoth's industrial capital city). He remembers very little, and is lacking much of his former power. He is greeted by a vampire called Umah, who informs Kain that he has been asleep for two hundred years. Two hundred years before, Kain's conquest of Nosgoth had been opposed by an army of vampire hunters called the Sarafan Order. The Sarafan Order destroyed Kain's army, and Kain himself was defeated in combat by their leader, the Sarafan Lord with the soul reaver. In the years since, the Sarafan have imposed harsh martial law on Nosgoth's human population. Employing 'Glyph magic' - a new kind of magic, deadly to vampires - they have hunted the remaining vampires to near extinction. Umah is a member of the Cabal; an underground resistance movement formed of vampires and working to undermine the Sarafan at every turn. The Cabal hopes that Kain will destroy the Sarafan Lord, and the traitorous vampires that protect him, having betrayed their own kind for personal gain. Kain sets out to get his revenge, reclaim the Soul Reaver sword from the Sarafan Lord, and continue his ascent to power.

"Do you so wish to return to the grave, old friend?"

That settles it, Vorador was ressurected. The mystery of Vorador's appearance in Blood Omen 2 has been solved, all it needed was an old fashioned dose of paying attention.

Kain knows how to solve a problem ;)

@RobinJanssenBelgium

1. Is unlikely because they cover how quickly wounds are healed by vampires in SR1.

2. Definitely possible.

I do like to use imagination. My question was more to prompt and point out a plot hole.

[NessDark]

@RobinJanssenBelgium well, there is a difference between the pre-paradox Vorador and the post-paradox Vorador, but that is a detail I prefer people explore by themselves.

[RobinJanssenBelgium]

@NessDark if u look at defiance u still see that Vorador still dies since Mobius has captured him and neither Raziel not Kain where there to stop the execution so either somwhon else saved him (wich i doubt) or somwhon must ressurect him (but the only people that can answer this question is Crystal Dynamics so we can only gues at this point im afraid.)

[RobinJanssenBelgium]

@horusrage 2 things might have happend.

1: Vorador died of his injuries in this game

2: Vorador tried to betray kain later on in history

(but in the series it better for our imagination to work out the details since there are alot of plot holes in the game .....for now.)

it time paradox time

@Vilemk0

Now that's...special. :3

[Vilemk0]

@DarqTalonAzel So did Umah. ;3

[DarqTalonAzel]

Vorador disliked this video.

[horusrage]

heres my question though... in the intervening time period between BO2 and SR1 what happened to Vorador? (I am presuming along the lines that SR1 time will still occur despite this deviation from the mainline)

[NessDark]

@Rahab111222 What Kain said to Vorador has the intention to mean nothing else than a threat. I still find very unlikely that Vorador was resurrected. The evidence along the games seems to tell otherwise.
