Earth Forge (Soul Reaver 2)

The Earth Shrine, or Earth Forge, was a Reaver forge planned to appear in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2. Within the Forge, Raziel was to obtain the Earth Reaver, an augmentation which later appeared in Legacy of Kain: Defiance. The Shrine is a deleted level and is not present in the finished game.

Screenshots archived at The Lost Worlds depict Raziel wielding a bright-green incarnation of the Soul Reaver in an area which does not appear anywhere in the game. It is highly plausible that this fictile-toned locale is the Earth Shrine. It is reasonable to assume that, like its counterparts, the Forge was constructed by the Ancient Vampires, would have exhibited unique architectural influences, and would have entailed solving a complex puzzle.

An Earth Forge does exist in the Vampire Citadel (and is visited in Legacy of Kain: Defiance), but, like its equivalents, is distinct from the dedicated Earth Shrine. Because of its disinclusion in the games, the Forge's canonical status is dubious.
