The 'Blood Omen' was an apparent prophecy delivered at the onset of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain that seemed to foretell the upheavals of the Blood Omen and Blood Omen 2 eras. The passage is also significant for it's real world origin, which is explicitly acknowledged when the prophecy returns in the Legacy of Kain: Defiance comic. The lines of the prophecy are spoken by Neil Ross, but it is unclear who the speaker is intended to be.
