History

The Land of Nosgoth

Aeons ago, the Pillars of Nosgoth came to emerge in the world where they remained a central aspect of the world. During that era, the unspoiled land was protected by an oligarchy of sorcerers known as the Circle of Nine. These were nine Guardians that were sworn to protect and serve the Pillars. When a Guardian died, the Circle would briefly remain broken, until a successor was born to assume their place. Before recorded history, the mystical sword known as the Soul Reaver was forged, and seminal individuals such as the Guardians Moebius and Mortanius, and the vampires Janos Audron and Vorador, were born.

In Nosgoth's early history, the land's vampire population began to increase, capturing the attention of the Circle. Fearing this 'scourge', the Circle brought into existence the order of the Sarafan, a monastic order of warrior-priests devoutly loyal to their Guardian sponsors. Led by Malek, Raziel and Turel, these hunters slaughtered thousands of vampires in their masters' names, culminating in the death of Janos Audron

Overview

In appearance, Nosgoth was a vast realm with a diverse landscape, including mountains, forests, plains and swamps, but very little non-polar desertification. It had various seasons such as winter with the land appearing to have a temperate climate.

At least three separate but coterminous planes exist with these being referred to as realms. Among these were; the Material Realm (the corporeal plane of the living), the Spectral Realm (the ethereal plane of the dead), and the Demon Realm (the entropic plane of demonic entities). However, even these separate dimensions are not considered to exist 'outside' the boundaries of Nosgoth.
