raziel meets janus thousands of years ago, form the day he was tossed into the abbyss...and 500 hundreads ago from the history in LoK defiance

[Joudas]

@yurikatos In SR1 intro, Raziel describes the setting by saying 'I stood with Kain at the dawn of the empire. I have served him a millennium." A millennium is 1000 years - so SR1 is 1000 years out from BO1, and Raziel meets Janos 500 years prior - so it's actually 1500 years between when Raziel meets Janos and when Raziel is tossed into the Abyss, as close as we can approximate.

[yurikatos]

@Joudas again ??? well, if you sum all the years that raziel lived as a vampire, you're right, but chronologically I'm right..raziel meets Janos, as the demon, in the times when he was a sarafan warrior, so this happens 500 years ago of LoK Defiance...and it's not 1000 years out from BO1, beacause nothing says that Kain revived raziel and his brethren right before blood omen 1, but hey, here is a paradox, raziel provided his own corpse to Kain XD Killing his former self

[Joudas]

I suppose the real question is how long after BO1 Kain's empire "dawned", because Raziel specifically states he was around at the "dawn of the empire", but generally speaking, I can't imagine it was hundreds of years later - Kain isn't the type to decide to do something then ditz around for hundreds of years before doing so. :) Really, there's no way to know exactly how long it's been; we're arguing semantics. :)

[AebelAlmighty]

Why is there always an extra guardian that no one talks about until the very last second?

[Joudas]

@AebelAlmighty Well, he had been dead for 500 years when the others were being introduced, and he's not a pillar guardian (of which there are 9, and were originally said to be 9).

The Heart of Darkness

Reputed to have been ripped from the chest of the greatest vampire to have ever existed, Janos Audron, the Heart of Darkness restores vampiric unlife. Life is precious, Janos discovered - as it was torn throbbing and bleeding from his own body.

"They know I'm up here...beyond their reach..."

And then the camera pans down to reveal the way in you just carved.

One of gaming's best "OH SHIT" moments if ever there was one.

[RedeemerBlade]

@daivondays  Actually, Kain was only asleep for 200 years after losing to the Sarafan Lord. I believe he was already 2 centuries old when he fought him(Sarafan Lord)and lost.

[Antichrist2000]

God damn it this series needs an ending! Put it in a book or graphic novel for all I care but end it!

[blablapica]

@Niamee1 Kain's first words as a Vampire :D

[gfahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

@Joudas How does janos know who Raziel is if he has never met him before....I thought it was like this

SR2: Met Raz and Janos is killed

Defiance revived and posessed by the Hylden Lord

BO 2 Used by the Hylden lord to bring about his ultimate triumph and the ascendency of his race and thrown into the collapsing Hylden gate

[daivondays]

@Joudas 1900 years if you count the 400 years kain was asleep before blood omen 2 lol

[ForNoReason1000]

@Joudas your fogetting that kain had slept 200 years, so its really 1000 years after Bo2

@sume555 You mean the Wraith Blade being Raziel's soul still retained the energy from the Physical Blade that enabled the draining of blood? that sounds like a reasonable explaination that makes sense though they'dve saved us all alot of trouble at Eidos and C.D if they'd've explained this factor along with many others they left us wondering

[sume555]

@PhoenixHelix my guess is raziels soul ie the wraith blade was separated from him when he "died" but it still held the vampiric energy from the blade hence its soul devouring appetite thats why the staff worked on it and not raziel i could be wrong but thats my rationalization =/

[PhoenixHelix]

@AMVTides yes. Vampiric Energy yes, but the Soul Reaver; the Wraith Blade itself is the soul of Raziel as a wraith so it shouldnt have been affected by the staff since Raziel was no longer a Vampire which the Staff affects. so why was the Wraith Blade cancelled out but not Raziel himself?
