“I have a perfectly built storyline of the entire series in my head, but I'm not going to impose it to the players. I oblige them to accept only those plot elements that are in the game itself, and on their basis they will have to build their own interpretations. What is in my head is not the same thing that is in the game, which means that everything is in the hands of the players. And official statements regarding what the game really is about, you will not hear from me, ”said Hidetak Miyazaki once, a person who invented Dark Souls.
Everything that is written here is not the truth in the last instance. This is only one of the interpretations based on personal experience, hundreds of hours of thinking and on the study of tips given by the game. There can be many such interpretations, and each has the right to exist. There is no truth.
To everyone who believes that there is no plot in Dark Souls is dedicated to.
It all started from the era of the ancients. There was no life, no death, no light, no darkness. Nothing has changed and nothing happened. The whole world consisted of fog and gray cliffs, among which stone trees trunks rose. Only immortal dragons inhabited these lands.
But deep under the roots of eternal trees, fire arose and aroused creatures that found three great souls in the flames of flame. And then they appeared from the darkness. Nito, the first of the dead. Witch Isalit and her daughter Chaos. Gwin, lord of light, and his faithful knights.
But there was one more – a quickly forgotten cunning dwarf, who found a special, dark, soul in fire.
But soon the flame will go out, and only darkness will remain.
Gwin, Nito and the Witch Isalit came to the surface and challenged the dragons, believing that the acquired souls of the leders gave them enough power to take the world to themselves. However, they did not have the chances in the war with the immortal and invulnerable rulers of the world. Many Knights Gvin fell, not a step closer to the victory.
And then Nagoy Sit came. Being a dragon, Sit was born without a stone scales, which granted him to the brothers immortality. Out of envy, he betrayed his family and told Guin that the scales of his relatives are vulnerable to lightning and hides a mortal body under him.
Then Gwin and his knights created a special miracle capable of calling lightning spears. With their help, they defeated the scales of ancient dragons, Nito sat down on their flesh of the disease and decomposition, and the witch Isalit with her daughters created fiery tornadoes, destroyed ancient trees and repented the rocks.
Soon the dragons were defeated. So began the era of fire.
► Who knows whether the era of the ancients would be replaced or not, did not come into the light.
As fire gave the form to the first overlords of the new era, so they, having gained divine status, began to change the world around them. Life arose among the gray rocks, and cities and kingdoms began to emerge on the once deserted lands. And in the very center of the world, the peaks of the city of the gods Anor Londo, which became the capital of the Kingdom of Lordran, proudly ascended upward.
But life is impossible without fire. In its new guise, the world will exist only as long as the very first flame burns, widespread around the world with the help of bonfires. For the time being, no one was worried about this.
► anor Londo became the residence of Guin. That is why in the city there are so many towers striving for the sun.
Gwin after the war married an unknown girl and acquired three children. One is the nameless god of war, devoid of divine status and crossed out of history for an alliance with surviving original dragons. The second is Guinevere, beloved and revered by all the Princess of Sveta. And the third child is Gwindolin, the son of Guin, born with the power of the moon that allowed him to create illusions.
Similar abilities were traditionally attributed to women, and therefore Gwindolina was brought up as a daughter. Nevertheless, he became the head of the powerful and revered carpet "Blade of the Dark Moon", whose members hunted sinners. There are rumors that Guin also had the fourth child – the daughter of Yorshka, who received her name from Gwindolin and eventually replaced him as the head of the “blades”.
► the abilities of Gwindolin also reflected in appearance – in his feminine silhouette it is difficult to guess the young man.
Naga Sit as a reward for help received the title of the Duke and a piece of the powerful soul of Guin. His lot is located near the anor of Londo, and there Sit founded a huge library known as the “Duke archives”. It was in them that the first knowledge of magic and crystal spells were recorded in them.
Inhuman experiments of Sita over living beings began there – he dreamed of finding the secret of immortality. Situ's subjects roamed the world, looking for victims, but because of the former merits, everything got away with him. Over time, Sit turned into a recluse and, according to rumors, was distraught. But nobody managed to check this – the guard set by him did not let anyone in the archives.
► Nito, who was not interested in events in the world, after the war went to the catacombs, where for many centuries he dozed in https://sister-site.org/ninewin-casino/ his tomb.
. Of course, your appearance is much more than pure darkness. The spread of the abyss should be stopped.
In the end, the original flame began to fade away: a natural and irreversible process foreshadowing the arrival of the era of darkness and the end of Gvin's power. At the same time, bonfires scattered around the world began to fade away. Then Gwin found fuel for them – humanity. This mysterious substance inherent in every person can support the fire for a short time. But where did humanity come from, and what it is?
► humanity – exactly what people make people. Without it, they are only empty vessels, unable to even think.
. He became the first person, and all his descendants received a piece of the same dark soul – humanity. Perhaps the dark soul was originally fuel of the original flame? Or the dwarf was outwitted, and each humanity burned in the fire actually only brought the onset of darkness?
But humanity was not the only legacy of Manus. . Dying, the damned were revived by bonfires, losing a piece of humanity, gradually going crazy and turning into "hollow".
Society chose to exile them in the refuge of undead, where they had to languish until the end of days. For a long time, Gwin did not even perceive the threat seriously.
Until the primism of the Kaas appeared in the village of Olachil in the village of Olachil.
► The nature of the Kaas remains unknown, but many believe that his family goes straight from ancient dragons defeated by Gwin.
Kaas cunningly convinced the inhabitants of Olachil to open the grave of the first person. Having done this, they released not only the father of all people, but also the abyss, the inexorable enemy of all living things. No one knows exactly what the abyss is. But, most likely, this is a growing and stronger dark soul, once found by a cunning dwarf. It is possible that the gods themselves named her power, fingering human humanity with flames.
The influence of Manus perverted the humanity of the inhabitants of Olachil, turning into terrible monsters. . Artias became the only one who was able to penetrate the affected abyss Olachil, for which he was nicknamed the "traveler of the abyss". However, luck in the campaign did not accompany him – Artias not only could not stop the manus, but he himself was corrupted by the abyss.
But the hour of this world has not yet come – Manus himself destroyed himself. Pursuing only his led goals, he dragged on the chosen dead man, damned undead from the distant future, and fell from his sword, which gave rise to the legend of Sir Artiasa, who stopped the abyss.
And the abyss was really stopped for a while, but the beginning was supposed to, and the Kaas survived alive.
► Sir Artias went to Olachil Sir with his faithful friend, wolf sephom. Protecting him, artias and became a victim of the abyss.
The insidious snake again showed himself in the New Londo, the Great City, spreading near the walls of Anor Londo. The city ruled four wise kings, worthy of people. Gwin himself recognized their wisdom and gave them a particle of his great soul.
But the Kaas managed to corrupt their minds. . The new Londo was in the power of the abyss, and the kings themselves were deceived and became pawns in the hands of the Kaas.
. This event has become a turning point. The abyss was already standing at the threshold. Fear was swept by anor Londo.
You are who is chosen from the dead. Leaving the refuge of undead, go as a journey to the lands of the ancient overlords. Hit the awakening bell, and you will open the fate of the undead.
But in the kingdom everything was not at all rosy and without taking into account the impending darkness – Gwin and other gods almost fell victims of the conspiracy. Unknown cultists created dark coal, with the help of which you can forge a weapon that can defeat even God. The leader of the conspirators was Havel Scala – a close friend of Guin and the bishop of the “White Way”, Kovenant, who destroyed the damned dead and was looking for new ways to highlight the flame. The plan was disclosed, and Havel went into eternal imprisonment, and Gwin lost a valuable ally.
Looking at the wrong confusion, many gods simply left Anor Londo and disappeared in distant lands. . These shocks left their mark on Guin: he became suspicious and sent the goddess of sin Velka to the imprisonment, was afraid that he himself could fall into the list of sinners. .
But the most Gvin was shocked by the incident in Isalite.
► In the drawn world of Ariamis, you can find many wonderful things. In the same place, according to rumors, a strange half-brown creature created by Sita was languishing during his experiments.
.
To some extent, she succeeded, but her fire turned out to be ugly and desecrated, absorbed the witch itself and gave rise to a bed of chaos, which gave rise to disgusting demons. The inhabitants of the city died one by one, and the few survivors mutated in terrible creatures. Even the witch children did not escape the terrible fate: the son turned into a huge formless demon, and two daughters partially lost their human appearance.
Gwin sent his best knights to fight the demons. Most of them fell in battle, and those who survived, stained their armor in demonic flame and dark shadows pursue the creatures of chaos throughout Lordrana.
.
Gwin remained with nothing. . His forces are scattered around the world. The remaining associates can be counted on the fingers. The fire was almost faded.
Then the king made a fateful decision: to go to the crucible of the original flame and sacrifice himself in a desperate attempt to light a fire. Only an empty shell remained from the monarch, it burned down and became the first lord of ash. But the only great soul was not enough. Guin’s victim helped extend the era of fire for a moment, but the Lord was empty, and the curse of the undead was never defeated.
However, hope did not die out completely. God still remained in the lordran – Gwindolin. Guin's son remained to wait for the chosen dead man, one who could get great souls and with their help to light the first flame.
► In anticipation of the chosen dead man, Gwindolin created the visibility of well -being in the anor of Londo – the fake sun shone in the sky, and Guineaker, almost not distinguishable from the real one, took its place.
The chosen dead man really came. . Four Kings, bed of chaos, Nito, Nagoy Sith – all fell from his hand.
Whether he took advantage of his strength to extend the era of fire? . The chosen dead man nobly sacrificed himself, burning and forcing the flame to shine as brightly as at the time of birth.
But in reality, there is no place for such nobility.
. Wanting to become a dark lord in the new era, the dead man simply disappeared into the darkness, leaving the coals, once the first flame, smolder.
But while the coals are smoldering, hope and hope. And one day the flame will be born again, giving rise to a new cycle.
Next time we will talk about the era of darkness.
