It is a hundred years after the end of the first legacy of Kain, Blood Omen. Kain has left the known world of in search for something in the unexplored lands to the East. During the time in which Kain has been gone, the vampires that started to flourish once again due to the diminished presence of the Sarafan. However in the last ten years the Sarafan have arose once more and are beginning to hunt down the vampires once more. At the moment, the clans that were forming have been whittled down to small followings, only three clans remain strong enough to withstand against the risen Sarafan, but even their strength is starting to erode.
With the risen strength of the Sarafan and the diminishing strength of the Vampires, the three remaining strong clans gathered together in the old Vampiric Citadel in the middle of the Lake of Tears to form a pact to work together in order to defend themselves and even fight back against the Sarafan. A small group has been brought together from the Three Clans along with whatever smaller clans could attend, to help with the pact.
