Layout and Appearance
The Hylden City was a large Hylden fortress seen in Blood Omen 2, it was inhabited by and acted as a base of sorts for thepost banishment Hylden in Nosgoth's Material Realm for centuries after the pillars collapse. Kain first learnt of the existence of the Hylden City from Janos in Chapter 9:The Device, stowing on board a Sarafan supply ship from the Wharves, Kain travelled to the Hylden City, attempting to deactivate the Shield Device and destroy the Hylden Gate. The Hylden City consisted of a large entrance building which led to an elevator down to the 'Main Square'; a large courtyard filled with water with many walkways to traversing the square. Around the square were buildings for the Shield Generator and the Hylden Gate Entranceway. Kain used the walkways and building around the side of the square to reach and board the Floating vehicle, which he used to cross the main square and reach the Shield Generator building.

Defeating the Shield Guardian and destroying the Shield Generator, Kain enabled Janos and Vorador to teleport to the Hylden City (but after a brief encounter with the Sarafan Lord, both were incapacitated). Janos teleported Kain to the Hylden Gate entranceway which led to another elevator down and out to the Hylden Gate building itself, a domed building on a pier jutting out into the sea.
