Material Realm

The Material Realm is where the Living exist and where physical objects can be influenced and moved. The Physical Realm is where Vampires, Ancients, Hylden and Humans originally inhabited and the world at large is called Nosgoth. Elements such as Air, Fire, Water, Darkness and electricity effect the Material realm but not the Spectral Realm also the Material Realm is where changes can be made but the Spectral realm which is unable to affect the Material.

Magic and Glyphs were created in this world and alongside it exist two other known Realms; The Demon Dimension where powerful forces of Evil and destruction exist and can harm beings both in the Material and Spectral Realms, The Spectral Realm is where the Spirits inhabiting people in The Material Realm pass on and is inhabited by its own array of Soul devouring lifeforms.

The Elder God is a vast tentacle-like entity that exists beneath Nosgoth and is able to effect the Spiritual and Material Realms as it exists in both simultaneously; only the Soul Reaver owned by Kain can harm it as it is both a Spiritual and Material Weapon. Much of the conflict on Nosgoth and the Material Plane can be linked to the Elder God.
