This is where the souls of the dead go - purgatory, if you will. He has no substance, and is not visible to anyone in the Material Realm (where Kain and, until he was cast into the Abyss, Raziel) exist.

Raziel thusly embarks upon his journey, with one goal in mind: finding Kain, and killing him. Become my soul reaver, my angel of death. Free their souls and let the wheel of fate churn again. I can not spin them in the wheel of fate. And that Raziel, is the demise of Nosgoth. It is this soul that animates the corpse you 'lived' in. The birth of one of Kain's abominations traps the essence of life. 'I would choose oblivion over this existence!' I have only spared you from total dissolution.' 'What madness is this? What pitiful form is this that I have come to inhabit? Death would be a release, next to this travesty.' It was by his will alone that Raziel exists. The Elder God governs what is known as the Wheel of Fate - an unceasing cycle of birth, death and rebirth, as he calls it. It's important to note that what we're seeing here is not Raziel suddenly standing up at the bottom of the lake of the dead - he died in the descent. and yet I lived.'Īnd thus we begin the next chapter in this story, following the trials and tribulations of Raziel - cast into the abyss, saved from death by an entity known only as 'The Elder God'. 'An eternity passed, and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness.' and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell.' 'Tumbling, burning with white-hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss.' 'I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings - to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead.' 'There was only one possible outcome - my eternal damnation.' 'For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward.' 'Some years after the master, our evolution would follow.' 'Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift.' 'Over time, we became less human and more. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. 'I am Raziel, first-born of His lieutenants. However, His contempt for humanity drove him to create me, and my brethren.'
