Daggerfall talk:Lord Kain
LocationEdit
- (moved from the article)
Update: I found Lord Kain in Gysotuara in Lainlyn, in a tiny l-shaped residence in the middle of a circle of residences. His name was Lord Khane, and he behaved like any other NPC. — Unsigned comment by 195.169.214.52 (talk) on 30 July 2009
Kain vs. KhaneEdit
Checked both known NPC locations, and both were named "Lord Khane". I've changed the wording to reflect that it may be possible to meet an NPC with either name. Echo (talk) 19:28, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Lore pageEdit
We really need a Lore:Lord Kain page, since there's significant material on Kain in the Fighter's Stronghold DLC for Oblivion. Kain left Hammerfell; his men, under Lord Jaren, set up a fortress just west of Chorrol in what is "now" (in Oblivion time) the Imperial District, before the Warp in the West and the re-consolidation of Imperial power. However, Kain was actually dead and had been re-animated as a Skeleton Hero by a Breton necromancer, and ended up imprisoned in his own new fortress by the horrified Jaren. By Oblivion's time, the castle (with Kain lurking in its bowels) is still manned by its own troops, and owned by a descendant of Jaren (Lord Kelvyn), presumably with Imperial permission and vassalage, but is under recurrent siege by an organized band of marauders. Defeating them (but not without Kelvyn's death in the conflict) permits the player to claim this fortress, Battlehorn Castle, as a grand player home (even at level 1!). Exploring the grounds' secrets will eventually lead to a confrontation with the skeletal Kain and his necromancer Arielle Jurard, now a Nether Lich.
The Lore page could use the current article as the basis, and integrate the FS material. I would just do it, but the very particular verb tense control, narration perspective, and date calculations of the Lore pages aren't things I've studied and mastered here yet (I rarely dare edit them at all).
