We’ve been quietly hard at work over the last few months collaborating with the fine folk at Crystal Dynamics to produce two products worthy of the Legacy of Kain name.
To that end, we are very excited to announce that we have also partnered with members of the LoK wiki community, including Monika Erosova (Raina Audron), Barry “Bazielim” Moon, Dylan Geraghty (Aveum), and a group no stranger to the larger LoK fandom, known as The Ancient’s Den, to help ensure we get everything right!
As unofficial lore keepers and proverbial light-bearers for the world of LoK, the book lining up with some of the known goings-on within Nosgoth are being thoroughly reviewed, confirmed, and put into ink.
The complexity of Legacy of Kain is one of the reasons why it has stayed in the gaming and storytelling zeitgeist, and by putting all of the knowledge and passion from The Ancient’s Den, alongside Lost in Cult’s incredible design work, we know that the Book of Nosgoth will delight and illuminate fans new and old.
Legacy of Kain faithful already know what amazing work Raina Audron, Bazielm and Aevum have done with the LoK Wiki, and we are thrilled to have them on board for our official project.
It’s of the utmost importance that the products remain true to the franchise, and we have an unwavering commitment to achieve that. We are really pleased to be working with such a passionate group, and grateful for the opportunity to do so.

Shining a spotlight on the Scourge of the Sarafan TTRPG today, we are delighted to celebrate the work of our writer and game designer, Leo Hunt.
Leo is such a joy to work with and continues to demonstrate why he was such a perfect fit for this game. We are collaborating on the game design to fine-tune the experience, and we are starting work on the artwork to accompany the written content. As you know, we assembled a fantastic team of talented artists, and we are excited to be able to share more in the future.
From the folks working on the project, we have some quotes from both The Ancient’s Den and a member of Crystal Dynamics’ franchise team:
“For over 15 years we at The Ancient's Den have worked tirelessly to preserve and illuminate the dark corners of the undead franchise that is Legacy of Kain: we've archived sources so that they wouldn't be lost, hoarded important information, fostered communities, exposed lost content - we've even helped develop games - and yes, most important of all, we've written an encyclopedia about LoK.
So, when the fine folks at Crystal Dynamics and Lost In Cult reached out and asked if we'd like to do it for real and assist in bringing an official Legacy of Kain encyclopedia to fruition - it was an opportunity we couldn't resist. We hope these pages will inspire a new generation of fans and document the history of this franchise as never before, as well as breathe new life into LoK for a prosperous future.” – The Ancient’s Den
“It is a real treat to work with the Lost in Cult team. They have such a high-quality bar. Combine that with The Ancient's Den's amazing depth of knowledge on the franchise and we’ll get the encyclopedia we’ve dreamed of. The TTRPG is also coming along, and fans are going to have a great time adventuring in Nosgoth.” – Max Zaleski, Franchise Producer at Crystal Dynamics
