Just some stuff about Ancient vampires in Legacy of Kain games.
I want to write about the different fandom theories regarding the ancient vampires of Nosgoth.
On the one hand your fantasies, your right, not interested, do not read.
That's where your boundaries end, so I'll say a few words for myself.
In short, they are highly contradictory creatures.
The reason for this I believe the chaos that was going on during the development of games.
I will omit the details, just write the main point, which puts many theories in a dead end.
First of all, it's the magic of the ancient vampires. In a nutshell, all of their magic that we see is tied to the use of souls. In the classical sense, it's necromancy.
That's right, because soul wells, temples, and other structures are based on that energy.
It begs the question, were these guys really that naive? The complexity of their buildings and rituals and other structures shows otherwise.
In the official version, of course, it was Elder who fooled them all. However, as it seems to me or so it turned out that for a naive civilization they are too advanced
However, all this I write it off to the conditions of the development of the games themselves.
There are two ways, either to make the ancients more primitive, thus justifying their religious thinking. Or vice versa turn them into a very brutal civilization, while no less calculating.
Why I am writing about this very point.
Because half of the fandom refers to the ancients as the people of Navi from Aavatar)
At the same time, many moments of their environment and the world are omitted, which raises even more questions that will not be answered.
In conclusion, I will say that at a certain stage of society's development, the actions of its citizens go beyond naivety or delusion. This is cruelty, which this society revels in, while giving it different forms. And there is never and will never be an excuse for it :)))
