Chapter Seven - Kain - The Vampire Citadel

The Vampire Citadel

Kain arrives at the Vampire Citadel in Bat form.

Kain V.O.:
And so I arrived at the citadel of my Vampire ancestors, long abandoned since their extinction eons ago. Perhaps it still held the wisdom of its creators. Here Moebius said I would find proof that Raziel was not what I thought he was - or hoped he would be. But in sending me here Moebius had done me an unexpected - or perhaps an unwitting - service. For it was my destiny, not Raziel's - my role as Scion of Balance - whose secrets I was here to discover.

Dark Chronicle - Mural: The Fall Of The Vampire Hero

A short way into the Citadel, Kain finds a mural. It is to the left of the Oracle's door.

Kain V.O.:
Here, no doubt, was the 'evidence' Moebius wished me to have... For the Vampires had prophesied not one, but two champions - one destined to be Nosgoth's redeemer, the other its destroyer. The Vampires' hero wielded the Reaver, forged for this very purpose. His opponent was clearly the champion of their adversaries - the Hylden - and brandished a flaming sword. The foretold outcome was unambiguous: the Vampire hero would fall.

The Vampire Citadel (Continued)

If Kain approaches the Oracle's door before obtaining all of the Balance Emblem -

Kain V.O.:
This door was clearly significant; the answers I sought surely lay within. But to unlock the chamber, the Balance Emblem had to be fully restored.

There is a large sealed gate at the far end of this terrace area of the Citadel. If Kain approaches it before getting the next Reaver enhancement -

Kain V.O.:
The Reaver required some additional enhancement before this door could be opened.

Kain passes through the Light Forge and goes through another Warp Gate into the Fire Forge. As he emerges from the Warp Gate, he notices two Fire Golems (Guardian Constructs).

Kain V.O.:
These statues were singularly inanimate. I knew better than to assume they would always remain so.

Kain finds the third fragment of the Balance Emblem in the Water Forge - lightning enhancement.

Kain V.O.:
The third fragment of the Balance Emblem endowed the Reaver with the elemental power of Lightning.

Kain returns to the terrace area and opens the large sealed gate.

Kain V.O.:
A new area of the Vampire Citadel lay open to me. I still had much to discover.
