Revelations
To those who are aware of the New Testament, Lords of Shadow 3 is a very loose adaption of the Book of Revelations which deals with the end of the world and creation of the new. Castlevanian characters have been placed in the roles of the Book of Revelations cast such as Dracula as a substitute for the Dragon and Susan as the Lamb of God. While the bible is an inspiration for the story of Lords of Shadow 3 it is not a faith recreation.
