Legacy of Kain Wiki:Subterranean Pillars Chamber

The Subterranean Pillars Chamber, also known as the Sub-Pillars Room, was a sealed room in the Subterranean Ruins hidden directly beneath the Pillars. It was presumably created by the Ancient Vampires and was visited by Raziel several times along the course of Soul Reaver 2.

Role
After Raziel's meeting with Kain at the Pillars at the beginning of Soul Reaver 2, Raziel was able to find a hidden passage in the Spectral Realm, which led to a Sealed Door decorated with a large mural of a blue winged Ancient Vampire. Unsealing the door with the Wraith blade, Raziel found the passage led to a series of Subterranean Ruins and a chamber beneath the Pillars, where the Pillars descended into the ground. Upon opening the chamber, Raziel speculated that the chamber had been built along with the Pillars and sealed shortly afterward, probably never having been seen by Human eyes.



The walls of the chamber were decorated with the first murals Raziel had seen depicting the Elder Wars and The Elder God resided in the water beneath the platform. Raziel would show his first doubts about the Elder God here before passing through to the Swamp.

Raziel would return to confront the Elder God a further three times: Once after gaining the Dark Reaver, once after arriving in the Post-Blood Omen era future and finally once in Nosgoth's early history whilst chasing the Inquisitors back to the Sarafan Stronghold; on each occasion the conversation between the Raziel and the Elder God became more antagonised and confrontational, until the Elder addresses Raziel with "ominous finality" (likely knowing his upcoming fate).
