The Elder God tries to reason with Raziel, telling him to not be deceived by Kain or the murals that he find in his journey. Raziel starts distrusting the Elder, as he wanted to find his destiny by himself. He was waiting for Raziel, but Raziel wasn't so happy with this meeting. After Raziel have a discussion with Kain at the Pillars, he finds the Elder God in a subterranean chamber down the Pillars. Raziel follows him into the portal.Īrriving 530 years before Kain took his decision at the pillars, Raziel is greeted by Moebius, who tries to manipulate Raziel into killing Kain. They have a brief discussion, but Kain flees into a portal on the chamber. Raziel kills his brothers and makes his way to Kain, who was in the Chronoplast of Time waiting for him. He incites Raziel on taking revenge on Kain, so that the vampires (who now rule the land) are destroyed by him, so his Wheel of fate can turn again. When the remnants of Raziel's body reach the bottom of the abyss and awakes, the Elder God greets him, claiming that he resurrected him to be his devourer of souls. With Vorador's skills and with vampire magic Janos created the Soul Reaver, a sword capable of defeating the Elder God, to which the god was unaware of.Ĭenturies after the corruption of the Pillars, the now ruler of Nosgoth Kain throws his lieutenant Raziel into the abyss. The Sarafan did, in fact, succeed in wiping out most of the Ancients, with the exception of Janos Audron, who went on to birth the human vampires starting with the blacksmith Vorador. Moebius, the powerful human guardian of the Pillar of Time, become his most faithful servant, serving his master by creating the Order of Sarafan priests to exterminate the vampires. From this moment on, he decided to wipe out the vampires, turning his eyes to the humans.
Because of their inability to die, the Elder God silenced himself to the vampires, as their immortal souls couldn't return to the Wheel, thus not feeding him. The Ancients banished the Hylden to the Demon Dimension, erecting the Pillars of Nosgoth to trap them there, but the Hylden took vengeance upon the Ancients by placing a curse upon them by turning them into vampires unable to reproduce, thirsting for human blood and worst of all suffering from immortality. The Hylden, another race of Nosgoth, refused to be submitted to the Wheel, so the Elder God incited the Ancients on waging war against them. They praised his Wheel of Fate, his cycle of life and rebirth to which all souls return upon death, although it was just his justification for feeding on souls. The Elder God is an ancient Omnipresent and Nigh-Omniscient creature, who was worshipped by the Ancients, one of the races that inhabited Nosgoth.
