Gwyn settled at the pinnacle of all of their kingdoms in the golden mountain city, Anor Londo, where he and his brethren proclaimed themselves Gods. The Witch of Izalith and her daughters returned to Izalith in order to study their Flame Sorceries, eventually birthing Pyromancy, the creation and control of the Flame within The Soul itself. Nito ventured deep into the Catacombs where he rewarded his servants and created the Finito and Milfanito and begun offering his Fire to the strange force he had found, Death, and sought to spread it, serving to administer death to all manner of beings. With the Dragons defeated, the Lords settled their own kingdoms. He became fearful of death, and sided with Gwyn. Seath was a brilliant academic, and focused on research, which spawned the first Sorceries. Seath was the first mortal dragon, born without scales, which were the dragons' source of immortality. The Lords, with the help of the dragon Seath the Scaleless, defeated the dragons in great dragon hunts and won the war, driving the dragons to the brink of extinction, such that only their distant relatives remained. To aid in their battle, Gwyn used the power of the sun to spawn the first miracles to rid the dragons of their scales, source of their immortality, and the Witch of Izalith created the first pyromancies from sorcery and burned the Archtrees, the ancestral homes of the Archdragons. Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and Gwyn became Lords with the power of the flame, and waged war on the dragons. And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the Dragons were no more." Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease. Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales. "With the strength of Lords, they challenged the Dragons. However, what remained when the rest was taken was a peculiar soul, known as the Dark Soul, found by the easily forgotten Furtive Pigmy. The last was taken by Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights. The second Soul was found by the Witch of Izalith and her daughters of Chaos. One Soul was taken by the Gravelord Nito, first of the dead. They gained immense amounts of power, making them capable of defeating the dragons, and so they fought to change the order of the world. Three such beings found the Souls of Lords within the flame. Giants, relatives of The Archtrees, and smaller races as well. With fire came the division of things and with it, strange living beings that were not dragons emerged from the dark. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course, light and dark. Then from the dark, they came, and found the Souls of Lords within the flame". "But then there was fire, and with fire came disparity. It is unknown whether or not the primordial serpents existed in this epoch. The land was a constant drab gray, ruled by immortal dragons.
In the beginning there was no such thing as life or death.
A land of gray crags, Archtrees and Everlasting Dragons." "In the Age of Ancients, the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. Nameless, accursed undead, unfit even to be cinder. And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant. Farron’s Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers. “The fire fades, and the lords go without thrones.” When the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves.
It is called Lothric, Where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words. The following is a transcription of the intro: Like in its predecessors, the story and lore of Dark Souls 3 can be pieced together through its introductory cinematic, item descriptions, dialogues, and environments. The five Lords of Cinder are Ludleth the Exiled Aldrich, Saint of the Deep Farron's Undead Legion, the Abyss Watchers the reclusive lord of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant and Holy King Lothric, Last Hope of His Line. Lords of Cinder are past beings who were successful in linking the flame, being burned remnants of their past selves. The protagonist is known as an Unkindled, a kind of Undead, although it is never fully enunciated upon what differentiates an Unkindled from other Undead. There are implications that an Unkindled is the remains of an Undead warrior who failed to link the flame and, as a result, burned their bodies into ash. You play as a protagonist whose goal is to find and return the five Lords of Cinder to their thrones at Firelink Shrine in order to link the flame again. Dark Souls 3 takes place in a transitory place, revolving around the first flame and the cycle of fire and dark.
