IMPORTANT!!!
This RPG supplement for the DAEMON System was created by me based on the video games Blood
Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, whose rights belong to Silicon Knights and Eidos
Interactive. I do not intend to offend these rights in any way, and I am not making any kind of profit by creating
this adaptation.

For players:
The game's story basically takes place in a single place: Nosgoth. Although this city does not exist, this
is the specialty of RPG: mixing fiction and reality. To me, it seems that Nosgoth is in Europe, in the midst of
the Inquisition. However, the unfolding of the story does not even closely follow the History of our real world,
thus fitting with difficulty into the DARK universe. It is possible to use the Inquisition books and similar ones,
but the Soul Reaver universe shows less of other creatures than the Angels, Demons and Mythological
Vampires books suggest.

Let's go in parts...
To create the universe of this adaptation, I will create different scenarios. Each corresponds to a game
in the series.
The first (Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain) depicts Kain's death and rebirth as a vampire, and the path of
death and destruction he charted.
The second game (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver) shows the fallen and dark world created by Kain in
his reign of death: the few people who remain hide in the deepest caves and the most fortified castles to try
to escape the vampiric threat. We see the story especially through the eyes of Kain's former lieutenant,
Raziel, killed by his own brothers on Kain's orders.
The third game (Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain 2) appeared after Soul Reaver, but its
The story takes place many centuries before Kain ruled Nosgoth alongside his lieutenant Raziel.
And finally, the fourth game (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2) takes place immediately after Soul Reaver
1 – the end of the first is exactly the beginning of the second. I think the second one takes place in a
dimension very different from ours, which wouldn't bring paradoxes when combining our reality with the
game's story. However, I haven't had the opportunity to play it yet. This part will be for the near future.

But the book Mythological Vampires doesn't say that...


Almost every time we adapt a character from a game, book or film to an RPG system, when trying to
make the character exactly the same as he really is, we end up leaving him incomplete in order to stay within
the rules, or we do exactly what On the contrary: we broke some of the rules of the system to make it as
similar as possible.
This happens a lot in Soul Reaver. The vampires of Soul Reaver have almost nothing in common with
the vampires of the DARK universe. Despite this, other creatures could be placed in the SOUL REAVER
universe without major problems, especially vampire hunters, which can be built using the INQUISITION or
TEMPLARS supplement, with Magic and Faith rules.
