Kain's empire

During Kain's Empire, the Sarafan are completely disbanded, and vampires have take hold of Nosgoth. In the later years of Kain's Empire, decay set in, and what was once grand had lost all it's splendour. Kain's great monuments began crumbling, his Luitenants evolved into great twisted monsters, and the land was plagued with violent earthquakes.

Kain's Lieutenants
Kain rose six Sarafan high priests (Raziel, Turrel, Dumah, Rahab, Zephon, and Malchiah) as vampires, and raised them as his leiutenants, who he viewd primarily as a way to achieve his ultimate destiny. Their exact duties are never stated, however.
