KAIN (laughs)

KAIN Vae victis!

Weather

Night:

KAIN V.O. Night dawns. And with it, the vampire grows stronger.

Day:

KAIN V.O. As daylight chases darkness, the vampire's power wanes.

Rain:

KAIN V.O. When rainfall comes, vampires are wise to find shelter from its acidic touch.

Snow:

KAIN V.O. Even the gentle snowfall can be lethal to a vampire's wellbeing.

Rain (Dark Eden and Heaven):

KAIN V.O. From the heavens, the tears of angels danced around me in a frenzy of fire.

Blood fountains

BLOOD FOUNTAIN The Blood of Ages flows so sweet... come drink from us.

Strength:

BLOOD FOUNTAIN Your strength has increased for our blood enhances.

Magic:

BLOOD FOUNTAIN Your magic energy recovers more quickly for our blood enhances.

Immunity to snow:

BLOOD FOUNTAIN The snow will do you no harm for our blood preserves.

Immunity to rain:

BLOOD FOUNTAIN The rain will do you no harm for our blood preserves.

Drink twice:

BLOOD FOUNTAIN Do not be greedy, vampire. You have had your fill.

Spirit forges

KAIN V.O. One must be wary in dealing with the Spirit Forges. The wraiths and shades that inhabit them offer items beyond mortal dreams, in exchange for a sampling of your blood.
The Wraith Smiths forge their items with forfeit souls.

WRAITH SMITH Shed your blood for me, and these artifacts will be yours.

WRAITH SMITH So, you come to the Spirit Forge for help, do you, vampire? Trade you secrets for the blood of the dead, I will...

Items

Objects

Flay:

KAIN V.O. Flay.

KAIN V.O. These curious devices hurl bolts of whirling energy and eviscerate my human enemies by stripping ragged flesh from bloodstained bone.

The Pentalich of Tarot:

KAIN V.O. The Pentalich of Tarot.

KAIN V.O. A medley of death and evisceration. Let fate choose my enemy's demise.

Implode:

KAIN V.O. Implode.

KAIN V.O. Of all the methods I employ, this is perhaps the cruelest, causing my victim's body to shrink on itself, crushing bones and rupturing organs 'til the pressure inside bursts the sac of fleshy skin, spraying its contents for all to see.

Font of Putrescence:

KAIN V.O. Font of Putrescence.

KAIN V.O. Should this object strike an enemy, rot and decay would instantly eat their flesh, and leave only a pool of blood and tissue. For a time after, the toxins are still active, and therefore lethal to the touch.

Energy Bank:

KAIN V.O. Energy Bank.

KAIN V.O. When conjured, the Energy Bank permits me access to mass amounts of magical energy for a brief period of time. However, when the moment passes, I will be drained of all magic, unable to cast even the simplest of spells.

The Heart of Darkness:

KAIN V.O. The Heart of Darkness.

KAIN V.O. Reputed to have been ripped from the chest of the greatest vampire to have ever existed, Janos Audron, the Heart of Darkness restores vampiric unlife. Life is precious, Janos discovered – as it was torn throbbing and bleeding from his own body.

Anti-Toxin:

KAIN V.O. Anti-Toxin.

KAIN V.O. This cleanses my body of any dangerous poisons. Quite useful, with all the filth I find myself surrounded by.

Slow Time:

KAIN V.O. Slow Time.

KAIN V.O. At times, my magic extends into very exotic disciplines such as the manipulation of time. I am able to slow time down, so I can move about quick as a wolf, while all others move as though they were mired in mud!

Tokens

Moebius's Hourglass:

KAIN V.O. Moebius's Hourglass.

KAIN V.O. The Hourglass of Moebius allowed him to sift through the sands of time, giving him dominion over past and future.

DeJoule's Insulating Cloak:

KAIN V.O. DeJoule's Insulating Cloak.

KAIN V.O. The cloak of DeJoule is fashioned from a strange substance, dense yet pliant. It served to both gather and shield the sorceress from the forces of energy she commanded.

Elzevir's Doll:

KAIN V.O. Elzevir's Doll.

KAIN V.O. Strange that such a tiny thing – a shred of burlap and silk with a single lock of hair nailed to it – could bring a kingdom to its knees. Small things frequently have enormous consequences.

Malek's Helmet:

KAIN V.O. Malek's Helmet.

KAIN V.O. Malek's helmet, crowned with a plume of braided hair, torn from the scalps of his victims.

Azimuth's Eye:

KAIN V.O. Azimuth's Eye.

KAIN V.O. Azimuth's Third Eye was a gift from the Pillar of Dimension, and allowed her vision into other planes.

Mortanius's Death Orb:

KAIN V.O. Mortanius's Death Orb.

KAIN V.O. As I touched its surface, calm filled me. Gone was the hunger, the rage that would entice, and only the sweet dark serenity of death remained.

Nupraptor's Head:

KAIN V.O. Nupraptor's Head.

KAIN V.O. Alas, poor Nupraptor – I knew him well. Well, not really.

Bane's Antler Headdress:

KAIN V.O. Bane's Antler Headdress.

KAIN V.O. The antler headdress had sustained some damage during battle – dark cracks sullied the ivory bone.

Vorador's Signet Ring:

KAIN V.O. Vorador's Signet Ring.

KAIN V.O. Turning the ring over in my hands, I realized that it was crafted from some strange alloy formed from broken teeth – ground down and soaked in blood.

Time Streaming Device:

KAIN V.O. Time Streaming Device.

KAIN V.O. Strange runes litter its metallic surface. 'Tis with caution that I carry this mysterious device.

Anarcrothe's Alchemical Scales:

KAIN V.O. Anarcrothe's Alchemical Scales.

KAIN V.O. The scales of Anarcrothe, used to measure out unholy substances in alchemy.

Armory

Iron Sword:

KAIN V.O. Iron Sword.

KAIN V.O. Forged by the Serioli, the legendary weapon masters of Nosgoth, this blade will serve me well, in life and beyond.

Spiked Mace:

KAIN V.O. Spiked Mace.

KAIN V.O. The mace is amongst my most useful of weapons, for it merely stuns my victims, allowing me ample time to feed.

The Axes:

KAIN V.O. The Axes.

KAIN V.O. Havoc and Malice, their presence in my hands keeps me from employing magic, yet rest assured they do little to hamper my relish for slaughter.

Flame Sword:

KAIN V.O. Flame Sword.

KAIN V.O. The sword ravages flesh with teeth of metal and flame, leaving only scorched remains.

The Soul Reaver:

KAIN V.O. The Soul Reaver.

KAIN V.O. Time fades even legend, and the origin of Soul Reaver has been lost long ago. But its purpose remains – to feed on the souls of any creature it strikes. Kindred, this blade and I.

Iron Armor:

KAIN V.O. Iron Armor.

KAIN V.O. As it was borne from hellfire, forged by the Necromancer's magic, my armor resists fire and provides me with strong defense.

Bone Armor:

KAIN V.O. Bone Armor.

KAIN V.O. Lower forms of undead fall swiftly to deception. With the Bone armor, they are not as eager to challenge me.

Chaos Armor:

KAIN V.O. Chaos Armor.

KAIN V.O. My enemies are quite vicious and the Chaos Armor extracts from them a heavy price for their bloodlust. The blows are meant for me, but it is their bodies that carry the wounds.

Flesh Armor:

KAIN V.O. Flesh Armor.

KAIN V.O. How convenient. This armor, wrought with the blood of noblemen, drains the blood from my enemies for me, leaving me to focus on the slaughter at hand.

Wraith Armor:

KAIN V.O. Wraith Armor.

KAIN V.O. This armor was spawned in the most impure of spirit forges; tempered from the seething agony of tortured souls. The metal exists only partially in the human realm, causing it to fade between tangible and ethereal states.

Spells

Inspire Hate:

KAIN V.O. Inspire Hate.

KAIN V.O. This spell allows me to exploit the petty prejudices of man. Minor grievance would escalate to murderous rage and oh, the sweet terror when the spell wore off and they saw their hands covered with their neighbor's blood.

Stun:

KAIN V.O. Stun.

KAIN V.O. The human mind is a fragile thing. One minor shock, properly timed, can render them catatonic and ripe for feeding.

Spirit Wrack:

KAIN V.O. Spirit Wrack.

KAIN V.O. With this spell I can tear a creature's soul from its body, leaving its vacant flesh mine to control!

Blood Gout:

KAIN V.O. Blood Gout.

KAIN V.O. This spell allows me to use blood from my own body as a weapon. When struck, my enemies' blood would flow from their bodies to fill me with life. 'Tis a risk, yet the rewards are a temptation.

Blood Shower:

KAIN V.O. Blood Shower.

KAIN V.O. Oh, to bathe in the blood of others! This spell is especially useful in the face of multiple combatants. Beware those with tainted blood.

Spirit Death:

KAIN V.O. Spirit Death.

KAIN V.O. 'Tis a spell worthy of the Necromancer himself. This allows me to dissect a creature's soul from its vessel of flesh. For these poor wretches, only oblivion awaits.

Light:

KAIN V.O. Light.

KAIN V.O. While it is true that natural light weakens a vampire, magical light can have many uses indeed.

Lightning:

KAIN V.O. Lightning.

KAIN V.O. With this spell I can call upon the heavens to tear my enemies apart with its explosive power. Oh, how their bodies will rupture as the scything energy rips through them!

Repel:

KAIN V.O. Repel.

KAIN V.O. Invoking this spell cloaks me under a protective aegis. Whatever spell is cast at me will be reflected back at the caster, leaving me unharmed. It will only last for a short time, however, before leaving me vulnerable once more.

Energy Bolt:

KAIN V.O. Energy Bolt.

KAIN V.O. The energy bolt employs magical force in its rawest form... a messy spell, but a potent one nonetheless.

Incapacitate:

KAIN V.O. Incapacitate.

KAIN V.O. Through this magic, I can stop my enemies in their tracks. Frozen in time, they can do nothing to hinder their own doom. Sometimes, I draw out their fate, for the added fear sweetens their blood.

Control Mind:

KAIN V.O. Control Mind.

KAIN V.O. This spell allows me to enslave my enemies, giving me control of their bodies. When I release my grip, their bodies will shrivel and die, as I displace their souls, and replace them with my own.

Sanctuary:

KAIN V.O. Sanctuary.

KAIN V.O. The Sanctuary spell enables me to travel to my crypt, where the soil of my grave provides me respite. I often resort to this when I am weak and need nourishment.

Forms

Bat Form:

KAIN V.O. In bat form, I can travel great distances with ease. From my vantage in the heavens, no region of Nosgoth is forbidden to me.

Wolf Form:

KAIN V.O. My lupine form enables me to move like lightning and leap over obstacles barring my path. But the guise of the wolf brings with it its own kind of hunger and rage.

Mask of Disguise:

KAIN V.O. There are benefits to traveling beneath a human guise. The threat to my person is lessened and much information can be gleaned. However, the illusion is flimsy, and any act of aggression on my part can break the spell.

Mist Form:

KAIN V.O. When in mist form, I am invulnerable to physical weapons, blade and claw! I can seep through locked doors and cracks and move swiftly, like a shadow fleeing light.

Beguile:

KAIN V.O. Unlike the Mask of Disguise, this spell actually allows me to cast away the guise of death for a time, allowing me to walk among the living undisturbed. The spell also provides a visage of nobility, for there are many who would easily divulge more to those of highborn blood.

Power-ups

Blood Vial:

KAIN V.O. This ancient vial bears with it a dark gift indeed – for with it, my life force is increased.

Rune Triangle:

KAIN V.O. These ancient symbols of power contain raw magical energy, which increases my own capacity to summon energy for the spawning of spells.

Humans

Blacksmiths

BLACKSMITH Hail, stranger! What can I get you today?

BLACKSMITH What'll it be? Sword? Shield? Hooving?

Gypsies

GYPSY It's not safe around here anymore. Damned brigands and thieves in the wilderness!

GYPSY Don't venture around here without a good blade at yer side! You'll thank me for it!

GYPSY I heard there was a bandit camp to the north of here.

Citizens (Stahlberg)

CITIZEN Beware stranger! There was another vampire attack last night!

CITIZEN I know William the Just will do something about the vampires!

CITIZEN The shadows fall, and vampires descend...

CITIZEN When can we truly live in peace? When will the vampires be gone?

CITIZEN Help us be rid of those vampires! A hunting party begins tonight!

CITIZEN Help us get rid of those vampires! A hunting party begins tonight!

CITIZEN Something must be done quickly. Two more victims were found... drained dry!

CITIZEN The hunt is over. Vampires will plague us no more!

CITIZEN We've captured their champion. Ah, there'll be a feast tonight!

CITIZEN Peace at last! Since the vampires slaughtered our great king William the Just, we have had no rest!

CITIZEN Fifty years, we sought to fulfill our promise to our fallen king. And now, our covenant comes to pass.

Merchant

MERCHANT Let us drink to the King's health! For William the Just!

Citizens (Vasserbünde)

CITIZEN Accursed gypsies! Bringing their wicked magic! Nosgoth will never be the same!

CITIZEN We've heard rumors of great unrest in the North.

CITIZEN Aye, I've heard of a wise Oracle who lives in the Mountains to the north.

CITIZEN Ah, the mythical oracle you seek?! He is said to dwell where the grass touches the snow; where the light touches the dark. Across yonder mountains.

CITIZEN There's an evil in the air, I can feel it.

CITIZEN Oh, woe is us! The dark is upon us!

CITIZEN The mage is insane, I tell you! Insane! Listen, can't you hear him cackling to himself?

CITIZEN Sometimes, if you listen carefully, you can hear screams echoing from within!

CITIZEN I ain't ever been up there, nor would I ever.

CITIZEN That lunatic on the hill, it's not right that we good people have to put up with his magic. Something has to be done!

Gypsies

GYPSY Some poor knight was murdered only last week. They found 'im on the roadside – all cut and stabbed and the like. If a knight can be taken, what about us common folk?

Citizens (Uschtenheim)

CITIZEN Something's not right. The pilgrims go in, but I ain't never seen one come out!

CITIZEN Nupraptor had servants. One day, one escaped the keep and stumbled into our village. Mad, he was! And his skin and hair, white as a sheet! Scared out of his wits!

CITIZEN All sorts of weird things live in the swamps. Some say that sprites and faeries dwell there!

CITIZEN There used to be a vampire living there, before the Sarafan hunted and killed him. They say he screamed four score days and nights before he died! He vowed vengeance, he did!

CITIZEN In these 'ere parts, it's grown cold and cruel. The crops are blasted, the wind bites. Never seen a worse time in all my life.

CITIZEN Looks like it's going to be a hard winter.

Tavern/barkeeper

TAVERN/BARKEEPER Hail, stranger! What can I get thee today?

TAVERN/BARKEEPER A drink for yer troubles, sir?

CITIZEN Begone, good sir, lest you share our fate!

CITIZEN 'Tis the plague, my lord, it eats at our bodies. There is no hope.

CITIZEN BRING OUT YOUR DEAD! BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!

CITIZEN I've heard that an army from the North is preparing to invade, is it true?

CITIZEN The King's heart pines for his daughter – someone stole her soul, you know...

CITIZEN We are doomed! An army approaches and that fool Ottmar does nothing but weep!

CITIZEN What has become of the Lion of Willendorf?! Who will protect us from the Nemesis?

CITIZEN William the Just rules this land, stranger.

CITIZEN Ay, our King is kind and fair. What fortunate citizens are we.

CITIZEN Taxes are down, spirits are up.

CITIZEN Welcome, stranger. To the most prosperous land in all of Nosgoth.

CITIZEN Goodday, to you...

Gypsies

GYPSY The trading caravans from Avernus did not show up this week. Very strange.

GYPSY Them money grubbing scabs always show on time. Not this week though...

GYPSY Something is amiss. The wagons from Avernus just never turned up!

Wenches

WENCH Ouch! Hands off, ya ugly oaf!

WENCH The nights can get very cold around here, stranger, I can help you get through it.

WENCH Oooh, aren't you the handsome one?

Chained prisoners

CHAINED PRISONER Oh please, help me, kind sir!

Fanbase

KAIN V.O. We are Gods – dark gods.

MALEK I'll hack you from crotch to gizzard and feed what's left to your brides...

KAIN V.O. Nothing is free. Not even revenge.

MALEK Vengeance for my eternity of suffering!

MORTANIUS You will have the blood you hunger for...
