The most powerful weapon in
Legacy of Kain:
Blood Omen. The
Soul Reaver is a magical two-handed
sword, said to have been forged in the bowels of
Hell itself. The blade devours the very
souls of its
victims, robbing them of any chance at an eternity of rest in the
afterlife.
Soul Reaver is also the second chapter in the
Legacy of Kain series. As
Raziel,
Kain's first disciple and thus second-in-command of the vampiric ranks of
Nosgoth, you have grown bat-like wings, surpassing your master's evolutions, and therefore are put to death; cast into the watery
abyss for an eternity of suffering. After a
millenia, you awaken to find your physical body
ravaged, barely recognizeable, in the
vortex at the bottom of the ocean of water that
burned you for so long. Thus begins your
quest for
vengeance.
