-> ''After slaughtering six of the sheep, I defeated their pathetic little shepherd, Malek. Since then our kind has not bothered with the cattle, except to feed. I suggest you do the same. Meddling with the affairs of man can do us no good. Sarafan witch hunts are much too tedious to concern ourselves with. Am I understood, Kain?''
-->-- '''Vorador'''

-> ''It is not often that a man sees his own corpse. It is a sobering experience. But I am far less interested in my own corpse than I am in yours. Prepare yourself, vampire.''
-->-- '''Malek the Paladin'''

-> '''Kain: (narrating)''' ''In the bowels of that black forest I found something worse than Hell: a vision of what I was becoming.''
-> '''Vorador:''' ''It's not often I see one of our own. Especially one as young and foolish as you. Nontheless drink: drink deep and indulge your gift.''
-> '''Kain: (narrating)''' ''Gift? Hah! Vorador thought my curse a blessing, that we were gods, that mortals offered their blood as sacrifice that we could enjoy our supernatural powers, and somewhere deep inside my new self I knew that he was right. That mortal dreams ''were'' prayers, prayers to us, begging us for power. I pondered this as the decadant old fool prattled on about his past. A boorish account of how he defeated Malek the Paladin and took his revenge upon the Circle of Nine for supporting the Sarafan holy war to exterminate us.''

-> ''What was it she said to me in that fateful moment when she took from me the Nexus Stone? How would my rule differ from that of the Sarafan Lord?
If you had lived, Umah, you would have learned the difference.
You should have trusted me...
The war was over, and yet there was another battle to be fought. The cruel masters of Nosgoth, the Sarafan - now leaderless - still had to be put down.
There were cities to be rebuilt, and order to be restored. And a new rule, my rule would then begin.

-> ''Given the choice, whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire, or to challenge the fates for another throw, a better throw against one's destiny - what was a king to do? But does one truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars.''

-> ''You dare dream of killing me? That fantasy was quenched in blood long ago when I defeated you. And yet, you have learned nothing. Such a pathetic creature.''

-> ''This one thing I readily admit: I have been used by others, time and again. But always I seem to stray from their path. What is it about me, demon, that makes me such an unreliable instrument? Why do I survive one trial after another, on and on in an endless succession of humiliating deaths and resurrections? It seems there is much more to my destiny and history than I know. Perhaps more than ''you'' know as well.''
