Really random thought.

I was perusing the Blood Omen section of this board, and came across a random line from Umah, in a thread talking about the murals in the games.

The wings on both races looked different. Ancients had feathered wings whereas the Hylden had fleshy ones.

Maybe the idea of Raziel actually being the winged savior of the ancients is wrong. Maybe he's a decendant of the Hylden. The first incarnation we know of him is as a Sarafan, the sworn enemy of the vampires, just as the Hylden were the enemies of the Ancients.

There have been minor elaborations on that old thread I participated in. Give me a little while to locate some related-threads where this has come up, as well as another curve ball I threw. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung/teufel/devil-smiley-019.gif

EDIT:

Raziel: Hylden? (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17063&highlight=Raziel+Hylden)

Kain: The Descendent (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11171&highlight=Kain+the+descendent)

Please keep in mind that my current belief is that the Hylden were the original Ancient race and have touched upon this in the thread:

Happy reading.
