Unused Dialogue

During development, most games change from their original inception. The games of the Legacy of Kain series are no different. There have been many alterations to the games - both minor and major - prior to their final releases. Visitors to the wonderful The Lost Worlds external link website will no doubt be aware of the better-known alterations already. While DARK CHRONICLE does not specialise in the non-canonical, or 'cut' side of the Legacy of Kain universe, there is no denying that deleted material can prove useful for reference purposes. Therefore, these pages contain transcriptions of all the unused dialogue still present on Blood Omen Playstation discs.

If you wish to extract the dialogue yourself so you can hear it, you will need to download the PSound program. The author, snailrush, used to have a website, but it has since disappeared. Luckily, The Lost Worlds has versions of PSound archived external link . Use it to Scan the file called PILL.BIG on the Blood Omen disc. The PILL XXXX codes listed below refer to where each snippet of dialogue can be found in a PSound-generated playlist of PILL.BIG.

PILL Code	Character	Dialogue
PILL 0000	Ariel	The Circle of Nine draw their powers from the Pillars of Nosgoth. The decay of the Pillars is the result of the deterioration of their minds. To heal the sickness, you must first destroy that which causes the disease.
PILL 0003	Ariel	Does your patience with the Sarafan grow thin, vampire? Dogs come only when their masters call. I believe some members of the Circle have banished themselves north. Perhaps Dark Eden is the snare you seek.
PILL 0007	Ariel	Yes, Kain. The Necromancer spoke truth. For Nosgoth to be restored, one more must die. You are the Balance, Kain. Make your choice.
PILL 0009	Anarcrothe	Fools!
PILL 0010	Anarcrothe	You. You are the Circle's traitor.
PILL 0019	Blood Fountain	Your vampiric abilities improve, for our blood enhances.
PILL 0022	Blood Fountain	The swamp will do you no harm, for our blood preserves.
PILL 0023	Blood Fountain	Your health is restored, for our blood heals.
PILL 0024	Blood Fountain	Your magic is restored, for our blood heals.
PILL 0026	Blood Fountain	Our blood enhances. Our blood preserves. Our blood heals. For the blood is the life.
PILL 0038	Kain	As the last of the brigands fell, I leapt upon him, ripping his throat with my teeth and drank of the hot blood that gushed forth. As the torrent of blood ended, his body collapsed to the floor. I was forever changed... I knew what I had become.
PILL 0050	Kain	The Pillars seemed darker now, less real.
PILL 0065	Kain	I placed the Hourglass of Moebius before the Pillar of Time.*
PILL 0071	Kain	The city was deserted, save for an ominous silence.**
PILL 0085	Kain	Animate suits of Sarafan armor were all they were, spirits bound to metal and leather, clumsily going through the motions they were taught in life.
PILL 0094	Kain	The old man looked more suited to the role of beggar than sage. How could this fossil be the revered Oracle of Nosgoth, trusted by kings and conquerors alike? Yet sometimes it takes a fool to be a wise man.
PILL 0095	Kain	The toothless old man sat stirring his meagre broth. How could this flatulent old fool be the advisor to kings and conquerors, the lauded Oracle of Nosgoth?
PILL 0096	Kain	'Twould seem that I must venture south to the Termogent Forest, to seek this Vorador.
PILL 0111	Kain	Vorador enjoyed his game. I was but a fledgling vampire to him - a child to be coaxed and baited. Vorador bore no ill towards his own kind, so long as I knew my place, he said, I would be safe.
PILL 0118	Kain	Poison! The pain began to ebb, but I could still feel it gnawing at my body, and would for a time to come...
PILL 0125	Kain	I longed to do battle with the Ward once more, yet the numbers were against me. It was time to summon aid.
PILL 0135	Kain	Willendorf's famed warrior elite, now reduced to nothing more than a search party, hunted south of the city for the Dollmaker's abode.
PILL 0136	Kain	I thought their cloth arms could do no damage, 'til the magic that infused them ate into my flesh. It was as if the burlap was metal, and cut just as well, yet when I struck back the materiel yielded and folded around my blade. I had to find another way to destroy these things.***
PILL 0137	Kain	It looked like some kind of locking mechanism. The intricacies of its workings led down into the ground, and away from that chamber.
PILL 0149	Kain	The forces of the Horde would soon reach me. Of the artifacts I possessed, there was one which may provide escape.
PILL 0156	Kain	My fingers once more caressed the Time Streaming device, and my body shifted along the stream of time.
PILL 0163	Kain	Through the twisted plots and tangled schemes, truth emerged. I had thought myself manipulated by Moebius, yet it seemed the strings were held by another, more powerful puppeteer - my murder and my resurrection both arranged by Mortanius. The Necromancer had promised me vengeance. He had fulfilled his vow, at the cost of his own life.
PILL 0166	Kain	The dwellings of the living are important to the vampire, of course, but one must be wary of how they are defended. The living can be ferocious fighters when they have need to be.
PILL 0174	Kain	The grave gives shelter to a weary vampire. Within the shadows of this tomb, I may rest.
PILL 0176	Kain	It is odd to read the ancient tongue after so many years. Fatum Iustum Stultorum - How apt. (It means, "Righteous is the destiny of fools")****
PILL 0193	Moebius?	Behold! Vorador!
PILL 0199	Mortanius	No, Anarcrothe. I am its savior! The Circle was damned before my deeds. At the onset I blamed Ariel. She was the Balance of the Circle. She and Nupraptor with their love, threatened us all. With their union, how could there be Balance? Yes, I killed her, but Nupraptor's vengeance, for me, 'twas both blessing and curse. His pain split my soul in two. Part of me shared his anguish, a grief so fierce, it would destroy the world - and yet the other, found revelation... For the first time, through the haze of madness, I saw truth. The problem did not lie in one of us - it lay in us all! We are relics, old friend, remnants of an era long gone, seeking to play gods in a world that no longer needs us. Our deaths shall resurrect the world.
NOTES: * This was not said in the game, despite seeming like it should have been. The Time Pillar was simply unrestored when Anarcrothe was killed, and restored when Kain fought Mortanius. This seems to be referring to Avernus. * This seems to be referring to creatures in or around Elzevir's home, possibly animated toys. **** This sounds like "Fatum Lustum Stultorum", but Daniel Smith generously helped out with the phrase and its meaning. He suggested that since Silicon Knights seem to have capitalized all their Latin phrases, Simon Templeman (Kain's voice actor) may have read it wrong. The word "Lustum" does not exist in Latin. The capital I of 'Iustum' must have been read as a lowercase L. PILL 0175 includes the likewise mispronounced "Manus Celer Dei" from Vorador's Mansion, and as this soundfile follows it, it seems this was originally recorded for the mansion too.
