The Legacy of Kain Timeline

Wraith Raziel meets Janos Audron in his Aerie. The Sarafan use the staff to disable Janos, and tear out his heart. Wraith Raziel chases them back to the Sarafan stronghold.

Vorador takes revenge upon the Sarafan for killing his master by slaughtering six of the Circle of Nine. He then humiliates Malek by defeating him in battle.

Wraith Raziel kills the Sarafan, including his Sarafan self, using the Blood Reaver.

Kain confronts Moebius in the Sarafan Stronghold, so he can find out where Raziel is.

Kain heads to the Vampire Citadel, and sees numerous murals depicting a battle between the Vampire Messiah and the Hylden Champion.

The Elder God, claiming to be the Oracle of the Ancient Vampires, sends Kain to 0030 A.K

Raziel finds the broken Soul Reaver in William the Just's tomb. The Wraith Blade drains Raziel in order to repair the blade, which makes the Wraith Blade become fully aroused and ravenous.

Raziel meets Kain at the Pillars of Nosgoth.

Ariel, the current Balance Guardian is murdered by Mortanius. Kain is born.

Nupraptor, the Guardian of the Pillar of Mind and Ariel's lover, finds her corpse. Suspecting treachery from within the Circle, and mad with grief, Nupraptor uses is psychic link to the other Guardians to drive them mad, including the newborn Kain.

The Pillars of Nosgoth become black and corrupted.

Kain the Nobleman is murdered by bandits, and offered a chance of revenge by Mortanius. Kain accepts, and is turned into a vampire.

Kain hunts down the bandits, and murders them. He is told that the bandits were being controlled by the Circle of Nine, and so he goes on a quest for vengeance against them.

Kain murders Nupraptor at his Keep, Bane and DeJoule at Dark Eden. Vorador removes Malek's helmet from his armour, essentially killing him.

Kain kills Azimuth, and finds a Time Streaming Device. He forges and alliance with King Ottmar of Willendorf, and takes him to war against the armies of the Nemesis. This is the Battle of the Last Stand. King Ottmar gets killed on the battlefield, and Kain uses the time streaming device, travelling to 0020 B.K.

Raziel escapes from the Elder God. Using the souls of the Vampire Guardians of the Pillars, he imbues the Wraith Blade with permanent elemental powers.

His search for the Heart of Darkness takes him to Avernus Cathedral, where he finds some underground tunnels. Within these tunnels he sees murals of the Hylden Champion, and wanders which side he is actually meant to represent.

Raziel kills Turel, who was possessed by Hylden and being worshipped as Hash'Ak'Gik.

Kain rushes to Avernus to talk with Raziel, but they end up fighting. Raziel rips the Heart of Darkness from Kain's chest, and throws him into an open portal.

Raziel returns to Vorador's mansion to find that Moebius has caught Vorador and is going to execute him.

Using the Heart of Darkness, Raziel resurrects Janos Audron, who is also confused as to Raziel's role. Janos teleports them both to the Vampire Citadel, and tells Raziel to activate the forge at it's centre.

Kain returns to find that William's death has provoked a genocidal war against vampires lead by Moebius.

Moebius executes Vorador.

Kain kills Moebius, then returns to the Pillars. Mortanius kills Anacrothe, then transforms into a monster due to his being possessed for so long by the Hylden Lord.

Kain kills Mortanius, and learns that he is the Balance Guardian. Kain refuses to sacrifice himself to restore balance, and the Pillars collapse.

Raziel, having activated the forge that calls the souls of every Balance Guardian to it, and having purified the Wraith Blade, returns to Janos.

As the Pillars collapse, the Hylden Lord possesses Janos Audron. He then defeats Raziel.

Raziel's soul returns to the forge, and the Elder God resurrects Moebius, telling him to return to the forge.

Kain wakes up in the Demon Realm, but escapes. He returns to the Vampire Citadel, and goes to the forge.

Kain kills Moebius, again. Raziel reaves Moebius' soul, killing him for good. Realising his destiny, he possesses Moebius' corpse, and is impaled upon the Blood Reaver by Kain.

Raziel goes into the Blood Reaver, creating the Soul Reaver, and sentencing himself to thousands of years of torment.

The Wraith Blade disperses into Kain, purifying him of all corruption, allowing him to see the Elder God, and freeing itself from thousands of years of torment.

Kain defeats the Elder God, and leaves.

Raziel activates some temporary forges, is taunted by an illusion of Moebius, and sees more murals.

Raziel travels to 0500 B.K.

Kain wakes up from his coma. He destroys the Mass using it's creator's blood, and rescues Janos who had been used as food for it.

Janos gets thrown into the Demon Realm by the Hylden Lord. Kain kills the Hylden Lord, closes the gate to the Demon Realm, and takes back the Soul Reaver.

Raziel awakens in the Spectral Realm and, coerced by the Elder God, kills Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab and Dumah.

Raziel confronts Kain in the Chronoplast chamber, and chases him through the portal, arriving in 0000 A.K.
