Revision as of 21:24, 14 November 2019

Vorador's Signet Ring was a magical ring bearing one of Vorador's seals. It was given by Vorador to Kain at their first meeting, during the events of Blood Omen, and allowed Kain to summon Vorador to his side. It first appeared in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, and has since appeared in all Legacy of Kain media, with the exception of Blood Omen 2.

Profile

Template:Qlisten

During his quest to destroy the corrupt Circle of Nine in the Blood Omen era, Kain faced a stalemate against Malek, the unliving Guardian of the Pillar of Conflict.[1] On advice from the Oracle of Nosgoth, Kain traveled to the Termogent Forest to seek out Malek's ancient adversary, the reclusive vampire Vorador.[2] Kain reasoned that Vorador was probably the key to defeating the Conflict Guardian.[3]

Tracking down his quarry in Vorador's Mansion, Kain was initially daunted by the elder vampire, considering his visage - "a vision of what [he] was becoming" - "worse than Hell".[2] However, Vorador was congenial, and "prattled on about his past", offering his account of the slaughter of the Circle he initiated in Nosgoth's early history, in response to the vampire purge which the Circle had sponsored.[4]

Kain initially dismissed Vorador's ideals - that vampires were gods, and humans inferior beings - but knew, deep down, that he was right. Vorador pedagogically instructed Kain not to meddle "in the affairs of man", but had grown fond of the fledgling.[4] Concerned for Kain's safety, he gave him his Signet Ring, assuring him that "if you ever need assistance it will summon me".[5] Examining it, Kain realized that it was "crafted from some strange alloy formed from broken teeth - ground down and soaked in Blood".[6]

Kain used the Ring only once: at Dark Eden, he summoned Vorador to battle Malek while he pursued Bane and DeJoule.[7] By the end of his quest, with Vorador's death at the hands of Vampire hunters, the Ring was presumably useless, in practical terms.[8] However, it retained symbolic value. Kain had fully embraced Vorador's philosophy by then: vampires were "dark gods" whose duty was "to thin the herd".[9] By the events of Soul Reaver, he wore the Ring on his left ear - a reminder of his old mentor. He sported it all throughout his attempts to reclaim his original destiny and restore the Pillars of Nosgoth to the vampires.[Soul Reaver comic][Soul Reaver][Soul Reaver 2][Defiance comic][Defiance]

Development

Vorador's Signet Ring was not present in Arnold Ayala's initial drawings for Kain in Shifter and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.[10] The idea to include it in that game and beyond was conceived later in development by Crystal Dynamics artist Daniel Cabuco, and approved by former series director Amy Hennig. Cabuco elaborated that "I wanted to tie Kain back into BO1 somehow and I drew his model sheet with Vorador's ring. Amy liked the idea and we moved forward with it. It beat Kain in the Chaos Armor Boxer Shorts idea".[11]

An early Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver GlyphX render of Kain, depicting him in the Vitruvian pose, includes what appears to have been a placeholder for, or an early version of, the Signet Ring.[12]

According to Daniel Cabuco, the Signet Ring was planned to figure into Legacy of Kain: Defiance's story and gameplay before its role was cut: "Kain did have a mission in Vorador's mansion but I think it was to meet living Vorador. We wanted to have Kain be able to summon him afterwards with the ring. Vorador seeing how powerful Kain had become would be distrustful.. And would pass that to his clan (ie Umah)".[13]

Notes

  • Vorador's Signet Ring is notably absent from Blood Omen 2, and no reference is made to it, despite Vorador's presence in the game (which takes place in the fourth timeline, allowing Vorador's resurrection to be accommodated).[Blood Omen 2] Towards the end of the same game, Kain engages in bitter disputes with Vorador, and expresses the opinion that "the curse of vampirism is no mark of divinity", contrary to his epiphany at the end of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.[9][14] Ranjeet Singhal's modified post-Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 Kain model, presumably intended for Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy, also omits the Signet Ring.[15] Nevertheless, the elder Kain of this version of history ultimately does choose to wear it in the future as in previous timelines, despite any possible revised motives.[Defiance comic][Defiance]
