Gods or Monsters

Entering a complex network of caves, Kain navigated the dim labyrinth and eventually located an old and cryptic man, the renowned Oracle of Nosgoth. Upon the vampire's demands for answers, the Oracle provided three answers to questions that were not asked and seemingly unhelpful, agitating Kain with his riddles. Narrowing his demands to answers about Malek, Kain soon found himself guided into the hazardous swamps of the Termogent Forest, seeking the aid of a powerful and reclusive vampire called Vorador.Faced with the toxic sludge of the forest's swamp, Kain's journey into the forest was a dangerous one.

Upon discovery of an opulent mansion strangely seated in the midst of this hazardous environment, Kain found himself assaulted by many bloodthirsty vampire brides whom Vorador apparently kept as company. But he dispatched many of them and finally gained an audience with the mansion's mysterious master, a cynical and hedonistic monster with features like a jackal. Regaling Kain with tales of old, gorging himself on golden goblets of blood and insisting upon the superiority and dominance of vampirekind, Vorador warned the fledgling not to meddle in the affairs of man lest he invite trouble. Though this advice went ignored, Vorador found amusement in the young vampire and thus he offered his aid. If Kain should ever face Malek again, he could summon Vorador to his aid with the use of a magically inscribed signet ring.
