If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. [. . . ] Determined to wipe out the vampire threat, The Sarafan clashed with Kain's army for years. This war ended with The Sarafan finally triumphant over Kain's army, and with Kain and the Sarafan Lord locked in mortal combat. The Sarafan Lord won this battle, stripped the Soul Reaver from Kain, and threw him off a cliff to his apparent death. Umah tells Kain that his body was found and revived, and he has been brought to the capital of Nosgoth, the city of Meridian. Kain has been unconscious for over two hundred years, and in this time, The Sarafan have taken fascist control of most of Nosgoth. Vampires have formed a small resistance, called The Cabal, in Meridian to undermine The Sarafan. It is this resistance that Kain is now a part of.
