Description
Brides of Vorador, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain
"Their charms were almost visible through the gauze of their clothing. Yet beauty such as theirs delivered only death. For these were Vorador's pets, nothing more than beasts, slave to his will and the easy prey he provided. Vampires, all of them, held in thrall by one stronger still."
Each bride was drawn based on the appearance of each in-game enemy NPC sprite.
Vorador's Brides appeared in Blood Omen.
In Blood Omen Kain encountered female vampires in the Flame Sword keep, and also in Vorador's Mansion. These were Vorador 's 'brides' (Malek later called them that). Much like Stoker's Dracula, Vorador appeared to keep a selection of women around him as lovers and companions. Kain acknowledged their beauty and diaphanous clothing, but he believed they were merely Vorador's pets, "nothing more than beasts" held in thrall by him
There is evidence that the brides were originally intended to have a larger role in Blood Omen. There are several pieces of Unused Dialogue , still extractable from Blood Omen Playstation discs, that appear to belong to them. These snippets are transcribed below:
"Do I not please you, my lord? Come, taste of my flesh."
"I can sense your lust, warrior. Take of me what you will."
"Oh, such a beautiful body. Oh, the pleasures the undead can bring."
"You fool! Hell hath no fury..."
"Be quick, before Prince Vorador finds him. He is ours for the feasting!"
"Oh come, love - give us a little taste."
"The blood of our own... Oh, 'tis there anything sweeter?"
