Light and Dark.Īnd found the Souls of Lords within the flame." Heat and cold, life and death, and of course.
We're all familiar with the opening epilogue of the game that explains some of the lore in its most concrete form:Ī land of grey crags, archtrees, and everlasting dragonsĪnd with Fire came Disparity. The lore of the game is subtle and vast, it is so subtle that a lot of it is left very much up to your own interpretation, however there seems to be a few things that people are very certain about and one of those things is the timeline of events after the first flame. There's a good few series on Youtube that explore the lore of the games by looking everywhere from official interviews to item descriptions and little details in the environments and characters themselves. At the end of the game, you can choose to take over and continue the Age of Fire, or end the Age of Fire and bring about the Age of Darkness (thereby giving humans dominion). Most of the things you are fighting are descendants, consequences, leftovers, or failed experiments of the original Lords. You are "destined" to replace Gwyn's soul as the soul keeping the fire burning. There is some speculation that this event caused some bad side effects, including the Darksign. As the fire started to fade, Gwyn (one of the first Lords who conquered the dragons) linked his soul to it to keep it burning.
The Age of Fire only lasts as long as the Fire of Lords is lit. The first Lords conquered the dragons and began a golden age called The Age of Fire, where powerful Lords/gods rule over the world. The Fire of Lords was lit, and Lords and humans came into the world, although no one remembers how. Since the plot is sort of underdeveloped, canonical sources are hard to come by.Ī long time ago, dragons ruled the world. I pulled some of this from Wikipedia, and others from plot discussion threads. The story in Dark Souls is vague, and you only really get bits and pieces of it that you kind of have to align, and even then it doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense.
