1,747 articles covering the Land of Nosgoth since July 2007.

The Legacy of Kain series comprises five action-adventure video games released between 1996 and 2003, primarily developed by Crystal Dynamics and currently published by Square Enix Europe. Each entry in the series incorporates elements of action and puzzle-solving in its gameplay, and all take place in the fictional setting of Nosgoth, united by the character of Kain, the series' vampire anti-hero.

Although technically a pentalogy, the series is effectively made up of two duologies telling the separate stories of Kain (Blood Omen) and Raziel (Soul Reaver), with both culminating in Legacy of Kain: Defiance. The games have enjoyed critical success, and - despite their present dormancy - continue to be widely praised and highlighted for their high-quality voice acting, storytelling, and visuals.

The Legacy of Kain Wiki is an unofficial fansite, maintained by volunteers, covering the games and accompanying media, and hoping to fully document the content, history and potential future of the series and related topics in an approachable and comprehensive manner. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Square Enix Europe, Crystal Dynamics, or any of their subsidiaries, employees, or associates.

This month's featured article

Art-DanielCabuco-Dumah

Dumah is a recurring character in the Legacy of Kain series, making appearances in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2. One of the leading warrior inquisitors of the vampire-hunting Sarafan brotherhood in Nosgoth's early history, Dumah was himself raised as a vampire by Kain in the Soul Reaver era a millennium later, and served as a member of the Council until his death at the hands of human vampire hunters. On his return to Nosgoth as a wraith, Raziel pervaded the Ruined City and revived Dumah, only to destroy him utterly and consume his soul.

Defiance-Texture-VampireCitadel-Mural-TheWheelOfFate

Texture of the 'Wheel of Fate' mural as seen in the Vampire Citadel in Legacy of Kain: Defiance. Prominently featuring the symbol of the Wheel of Fate, the mural depicted the Ancient vampires despair as the Blood curse cast them from the wheel, and their suicidal attempts to return to it. This mural was featured twice in Defiance, seen on the walls of the Earth forge and the Spirit forge entrance chamber where Kain first met the Elder God.

    Well, after the awe-inspiring start to the year there has been little in the way of definitive further developments on the LoK6 rumors as yet, but as ever E3 on the 11th-13th June could be promising, though don't hold me to that if it doesn't happen ;-). In other real-world news, Legacy of Kain won Pixlbits 'Missing in Action' gaming series knockout poll competition beating its closely related rival, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requim in the final.
