"The Pillars choose their guardians from birth, Raziel – and vampires are no longer born. This is the crux of our dilemma." - Janos Audron

I wonder if the elder god's hate didn't come just from their desire for immortality but from the fact the Hylden were the race most likely to discovery the truth behind his parasitic existence and share it with the others, potentially uniting them against him.
Together, the races might have even learned how to destroy it. Tragically this would once again leave the ancient vampires with a voiceless uncaring natural phenomenon to worship, but it might temper them enough to live together or even get some hylden to accept spirituality since it would prove the wheel was real.

God, these games had some of the best story telling and voice acting in all of gaming history. Thee most underrated game series of all time.

Great theory on the immortality was originally meant for the Hylden.

1. The Hylden's fate is just plain tragic. They were likely the first to realise who and what the Elder God really was and the Ancient Vampires, in their ignorance and blind devotion, banished the only beings that could have helped them see the truth before it was too late
2. I think its almost better that the war between the Hylden and the Ancient Vampires is kept vague. It adds to the mystery of Nozgoth

Seriously, your coverage of this series is nothing short of incredible. Thank you for making these videos.

I truly appreciate your dedication and loyalty to LoK series after all these years ! Your videos on the various topics and lore are amazingly detailed! Keep up the great work!

We need a video about The Seer about how she could be a vampire hylden crossbreed and how she doesn't have face tattoos like Umah, the Priestess and Vorador’s lady

AND OF COURSE FOR KEEPING THE SERIES ALIVE BY CARRYING IT ON YOUR ENORMOUS SHOULDERS 💪💪💪

Ultimately Daniel Cabuco stated: "The Hylden aren't immortal, they just live in a dimension where time is warped and they age differently in relation to the material realm.

One theory I had was that Raziel had both Vampire and Hylden blood in his family line from long in the past and that this was the reason for his uniqueness and resemblance to both races.

Thank you for your work!

As i said in previous videos, i think that the blood curse was directly related to the Hylden's attempt at becoming immortal. By the time the war started the immortality process was almost complete, except for one major problem: it had the nasty side effect of making the subject thirsty for blood and vulnerable to sunlight and water, and was therefore not deemed complete yet. It was however a suitable retaliation against the the vampyres. What makes me think that the vulnerability to sunlight and water was a side effect of the curse and not a trait specific to the vampyre race is the fact that the vampyres had built temples to these elements, it wouldn't have made sense for the vampyres to harness these forces if they were dangerous to their kind. The sterility on the other hand wasn't a side effect, but rather an intended feature, since without it immortality would quickly lead to catastrophic overpopulation.

I think dependence on blood came with the Hylden curse, as Janos condemned the Hylden for making his people predators of Mankind when he confronted the Hylden Lord before being chucked into the demon realm.

Absolutely outstanding video many thanks for continuing this outstanding series!

Yes I'm here early. And thank you for keeping this series alive

And you did it again. Just when I thought there really isn't more you can squeeze out of the lore you actually release another great video about the lore. Fantastic essay as always. Thank you very much!

Some thoughts occurred to me watching this. The three Elder Vampire champions had spears called Heart Seeker, Blood Drinker and Soul Stealer were a source of inspiration for the Hylden curse. They took the heart from the Vampires by cutting them off from their god and making them sterile so they had no chance of reproducing normally, a death sentence for their race. They made the Vampires drink the very blood the champion named their weapon to do and they cut the Vampires off from the wheel of fate by making them immortal thereby stealing their souls from their god.

I think it's possible that the hylden might have always seen the elder God for what it was, but the vampires wouldn't listen
