Chronoplast visions

The Chronoplast Visions were a set of 'portals' that showed Raziel a possible future as a prelude to his battle with Kain in The Chronoplast at the end of Soul Reaver.

There first three portals showed Raziel past events:

The first showed Raziel's 'arrival' in The Elder's Lair, after being remade as a Wraith.

The second showed Raziel discovering the Tomb of the Sarafan.

The third showed his battle with Kain at The Sanctuary of the Clans ; specifically showing Kain shattering the Soul Reaver blade against Raziel.

The next three portals show possible future events. All of these events are now considered to have occurred within subsequent games, although slightly different to how each is depicted in the Chronoplast.

The fourth portal showed a future battle between Raziel and Kain, in a darkened room with Kain's symbol on the floor and Raziel armed with the Wraith-blade - This is interpreted to be Raziel and Kain's battle in Avernus in Defiance.

The fifth showed Raziel striking down Ariel in a darkened room (not the Sanctuary of the Clans) and the wraith blade glowing bright yellow as a result - This is interpreted to be Raziel gaining the Spirit Reaver in the Spirit Forge, by absorbing Ariel's soul; seen in Defiance

The final portal showed Raziel wielding a dark red wraith blade overlooking Nosgoth from a darkened balcony - this is interpreted to be Raziel looking out over Nosgoth, from Janos Audron's aerie, shortly after Janos' Death in Soul Reaver 2. The Red blade being the newly imbued Fire Reaver.
