Wharves

The Wharves was the dockyards of Meridian, it was a playable location in Blood Omen 2 visited in Chapter 10: Betrayal by Kain (and Umah). The Wharves was a heavily guarded fortress as it "control[ed] all trade and travel to and from Meridian". It also had notable links to the Hylden City as many warships and freighters loaded and unloaded in great secrecy bound for the Hylden City.

Role
After Kain liberated Janos, The Cabal were able to determine that the Hylden, with the Device destroyed, would soon begin an invasion of Nosgoth using the Hylden Gate. Finding that the Hylden City and Hylden Gate were protected by a 'magical shield' that prevented Teleportation, Kain was sent to the Wharves to seek a ship travelling to the Hylden City, so that the shield could be deactivated, allowing the Cabal to mount a final assault. Reluctantly, Kain accepted the assistance of Umah.

At the start of Chapter 10:The Wharves, Kain and Umah arrived at the bridge entrance to the Wharves, intending to board a galley to the Hylden City. Umah warned Kain about the dangers of the Wharves but a conflict developed between Umah and Kain regarding the future of the Cabal after the removal of the Sarafan and Hylden threat, which led to Umah betraying Kain and stealing The Nexus Stone in an attempt to defeat the Sarafan Lord  and the claim the Soul Reaver for herself. As Umah teleported off, Kain angrily pursued her into the Wharves.

The Wharves were primarily a dockside locations, with many seafront activities (including fishing, shipping and trade) visible along the waterfront. After entering the Marketplace from the main bridge, Kain was able to overhear a Merchant's password and use it to enter the docks, (despite Sarafan restrictions due to the fog ). As Kain progressed further into the Wharves he manipulated several lighthouses to move ships and on the advice of a Cabal Contact, Kain manipulated the main lighthouse, tricking the Sarafan into lowering the drawbridge so that he was able to enter the Southern Docks. A short while inside Kain caught up with Umah (severely injured by a Sarafan Knight ambush) and rejecting her pleas for help, he murdered her for her betrayal. On the advice of Vorador (using the whisper and unaware of Umah's death) Kain released a Greater Demon from it's cage and took its place being loaded into a ship bound for the Hylden City.
