Blood Omen - Soundtracks {Nupraptor's Theme}

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is a top-down action adventure created by Silicon Knights and the first game in the Legacy of Kain series.

The game was first released November 15, 1996 for the PlayStation, and later ported to the PC Version. A Saturn version was announced during production but later cancelled before release. In the game, the player takes the role of Kain, a nobleman who is murdered and given the chance for revenge by becoming a vampire. The game was praised for its great voice acting, moody atmosphere, and compelling storyline.
The game features a mature and well crafted story of deception, betrayal and manipulation of the main character. Kain, a nobleman in the world of Nosgoth, is murdered by assassins and offered new life as a Vampire by the necromancer Mortanius to take vengeance. Kain easily kills his murderers, but Mortanius convinces Kain that they were mere pawns and that the real perpetrators can be found at the Pillars of Nosgoth, which protect Nosgoth from destruction. There, the ghost of Ariel, the former Guardian of the Pillar of Balance, tells him that the humans guarding the Pillars from decay have gone insane, and that they must be killed for the Pillars to be saved.

Kain embarks on a quest to kill the guardians and visits their fortresses, gaining numerous powers in the process, and often encountering strange and deranged characters, like the Oracle, which tells him of the Nemesis and tells him to seek the aid of Vorador -- a powerful vampire. After eliminating several more guardians, Kain learns that an army commanded by the Nemesis -- a corrupted ruler once named William the Just -- is on the brink of conquering Nosgoth. Kain tries to neutralize this threat using a Time streaming device -- which he found in a cathedral in the city of Avernus -- to go 50 years back into the past, and kill the young King William. He succeeds, but in the altered history, the murder of William at his hands sets off a genocidal crusade against all vampires, rendering him the last of his kind. Kain discovers that he has been manipulated into changing history by the guardian of time, Moebius, posing as the Oracle, whom he finally manages to kill.

At this point, Kain encounters the two remaining guardians, Mortanius, and Anacrothe the Alchemist, fighting. Anarcrothe is killed by Mortanius and Kain challenges him, believing he is the last guardian. After defeating him, Mortanius turns into a monster, who is revealed as the author of the murder of Ariel and Kain as part of a plot to destroy the pillars.

After defeating the monster, Kain learns that he is the last guardian, the guardian of the Pillar of Balance. He is given two choices: sacrifice himself, restore the land, and free Ariel while condemning vampires to extinction, or refuse the sacrifice and let the pillars fall. Later games in the series were based on Kain's decision to refuse the sacrifice. Blood Omen 2, the sequel, is meant to show the player an altered storyline 200 years after the pillars fall due to the events of Soul Reaver 2.

"Perhaps the head of her beloved will convince Ariel that I have acomplished my task"

@ItsCoolFromSaturn no, BO2 is caused by soul reaver 2. At the end of soul reaver 2 kain says "The hylden! we fell right into their trap!" and the seraphan lord is a hylden. This means that the hylden manipulated the time stream in order to kill kain and take over nosgoth. Thus, blood omen 2 is born lol
