In Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, the history of the Temple of the Fire Sword and the origin of the weapon itself remains somewhat mysterious. The game doesn't provide explicit details about the temple's builders or the sword's smith, but some speculation can be made based on Nosgoth lore.
Who built the Temple of the Fire Sword?
The elemental temples scattered throughout Nosgoth appear to be ancient sites dedicated to mystical or magical forces. It's possible that these temples were erected by a pre-human civilization, perhaps the Elder Vampires, or by orders of human sorcerers seeking to harness elemental powers.
Some temples may be linked to the Hylden, ancient enemies of the Vampires, who influenced several structures in Nosgoth.
Others may be the work of ancient humans worshipping these elements as sources of divine power.
Who forged the Sword of Fire?
The origin of the Sword of Fire is never specified, but like other elemental weapons, it may have been created by blacksmiths or mages skilled in elemental magic. Several possibilities:
1. The Ancient Vampires: Masters of magic and mystical crafts, they could have created these weapons for champions or guardians.
2. Human Mages: Some humans of Nosgoth possessed powerful magical knowledge, and it is possible that they forged these weapons to protect their temples.
3. A Hylden influence: The Hylden were experts in technology and magic. It is possible that they contributed to the creation of weapons like this one.
In any case, the Sword of Fire seems to have been placed in his temple as a sacred relic, awaiting a worthy wielder to wield it... in this case, Kain.
