Time-streaming devices

The Time Streaming Device also known as the Portable Time Streaming Device was one of two hand-held artefacts that enabled a person to travel in time. They were seen in Blood Omen.

In Avernus Cathedral, Kain met and defeated the Lady Azimuth , guardian of dimension. Along with her Third Eye Pendant, Kain found Azimuth had a Time Streaming Device, which she had explicitly been planning to use to summon creatures from other ages as well as other dimensions.

Kain carried the device with him with caution, advised by Ariel that it was his salvation and would "deliver [him] in time". When Kain was caught up in the Battle of the Last Stand and the Army of the Last Hope was destroyed Kain was left hopelessly outnumbered by the Legions of the Nemesis ; The Device activated, saving Kain from a certain death.

Kain discovered that he had been transported 50 years into Nosgoth's past and had been presented with an opportunity to rid Nosgoth of the tyrant the Nemesis. Unfortunately the Time Streaming Device had shattered, leaving Kain stranded in the past.

When Kain travelled to the Land of the Nemesis, he found Moebius supplying William the Just ; the boy-king who would turn tyrant. Kain confronted William and found he was also armed with the Soul Reaver blade, upon killing William, Kain luckily found that he was in possession of another time streaming device, which enabled him to be transported back to his native time period.

Shortly afterward Kain was able to discover the changes he had wrought and found that his actions had allowed Moebius to ignite another vampire hunting crusade that of Moebius' Mercenary Army. Furthermore, Moebius had been manipulating his journey for a long time and it is likely that Moebius was responsible for both the Time Streaming Devices Kain found.
