Coorhagen

In Blood Omen, Kain passed through the far north-eastern settlement of Coorhagen. It was Kain's former home, and the place of his birth. The city was apparently loyal to King Ottmar of Willendorf, and the lion sigil could be seen on many wall-hung tapestries.

Kain described Coorhagen as "the finest city in all of Nosgoth, rich in vanity and conceit". He knew, as a vampire, he would no longer be welcomed by its inhabitants. His noble heritage would be ignored.

Kain found that Coorhagen had changed much since he left. The plague had taken hold of the city, and decaying bodies littered the streets. Corpses were piled high on carts and in the desolate buildings. As Kain commented rather bleakly, it was "a perfect homecoming". The blocked paths and roads made it impossible for Kain to walk straight through Coorhagen. Instead he had to find his way through a maze of houses and underground dungeons. Once he emerged from the north outskirts of Coorhagen, he was able to spot Malek's Bastion, and fly to it in Bat form.
