'''Blood Omen 2''' is a video game developed by [[Crystal Dynamics]] and published by [[Eidos Interactive|Eidos]]. It is the  fourth game in the [[Legacy of Kain]] series. Although chronologically it is set between the events of [[Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain]] and [[Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver]], the events of the game did not occur in the original history. They only take place in Nosgoth's history due to a paradoxical time-altering event which took place in [[Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2]], an event which distorted the timeline. The game was released on the [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox]], [[Nintendo GameCube]], and [[Windows]].

==Story==
==Story==
The vampire, Kain, refused to sacrifice himself to restore the Pillars of Nosgoth at the end of ''Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain'', thus damning the Pillars (and the world of Nosgoth) to an eternity of depravity and decay. Following his refusal, Kain built a vampire army with Vorador's help and attempted to conquer the world.
The vampire, [[Kain (Legacy of Kain)|Kain]], refused to sacrifice himself to restore the [[Pillars of Nosgoth]] at the end of ''Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain'', thus damning the Pillars (and the world of Nosgoth) to an eternity of depravity and decay. Following his refusal, Kain built a vampire army with [[Vorador]]'s help and attempted to conquer the world.
 
Four hundred years after the events of ''Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain'', Kain awakes in Meridian ([[Nosgoth]]'s industrial capital city). He remembers very little, and is lacking much of his former power. He is greeted by a vampire called [[Umah]], who informs Kain that he has been asleep for two hundred years.


Four hundred years after the events of ''Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain'', Kain awakes in Meridian (Nosgoth's industrial capital city). He remembers very little, and is lacking much of his former power. He is greeted by a vampire called Umah, who informs Kain that he has been asleep for two hundred years.
Two hundred years before, Kain's conquest of Nosgoth had been opposed by an army of vampire hunters called the [[Sarafan (Legacy of Kain)|Sarafan]] Order. The Sarafan Order destroyed Kain's army, and Kain himself was defeated in combat by their leader, the [[Hash'ak'gik|Sarafan Lord]]. In the years since, the Sarafan have imposed harsh martial law on Nosgoth's human population. Employing 'Glyph magic' -  a new kind of magic, deadly to vampires - they have hunted the remaining vampires to near extinction. Umah is a member of the Cabal; an underground resistance movement formed of vampires and working to undermine the Sarafan at every turn. The Cabal hopes that Kain will destroy the Sarafan Lord, and the traitorous vampires that protect him, having betrayed their own kind for personal gain.
