What is Legacy of Kain?

The Legacy of Kain series is a collection of video games developed by Crystal Dynamics (acquired by Eidos external link in 1998) and Silicon Knights external link.

Starting with Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain in 1996, there have been five games charting the vampire Kain's rise to power within the land of Nosgoth, and his attempts to reclaim his true destiny. Since Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was released in 1999, the series has had a second lead character in Raziel, a soul-devouring wraith who holds the key to Kain's future.

What is DARK CHRONICLE?

DARK CHRONICLE is a Legacy of Kain fan site, originally established in 2002. It aims primarily to be a reference source for the multi-layered storyline of the series: a memory-jogger for veterans that hopefully makes the story more approachable for newcomers too.

The Eidos external link website has been remodeled, and unfortunately, that appears to have led to the loss of the old official flash sites for Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2 and Defiance. Although the international versions vanished some time ago, the UK ones had still been up, until now.

This site has been updated to reflect the change, and a few pages from the Blood Omen 2 site that were being referenced have been recreated here: Blood Omen 2 Web Pages.

29 May 2010

New version of the site uploaded. Most pages have been edited or partially re-written. A few have been added, and images have been improved throughout the site. Unfortunately a few prominent pages are missing: Raziel, Janos and Moebius, but they will be reinstated ASAP.
