Darkmoon Blades: In the service of Gwyndolin, the Dark Sun.

Background

Dark Souls 3, a dark medieval fantasy world. Magic, demons, spells, swords, armor, fantastic monsters.

Gwyndolin

The youngest son of Gwyn and guardian of Anor Londo. Born a Moon Sorcerer, he was raised as a daughter and consequently has a feminine appearance. He is tall, thin, and fair-skinned. He wears a sacred white robe of the priests, a bow and arrow; he is a magician and a god. His legs are serpents, possibly the result of mixing his blood with Dragons.

Yorshka

Pale woman, dragon's tail, half woman, half dragon. She lived a long time in the painted world of Ariamis and is now the captain of the Darkmoon Blades.

The Dark

The world is governed by two forces, the primordial flame and darkness. When the primordial flame strengthens, the gods are strong. When the flame fades, darkness strengthens and humanity becomes savage. Humans transform into almost immortal beings, but lose their sanity each time they receive severe damage, called Hollows. The way to keep the flame alive is to sacrifice humans or gods to it periodically, something that both the kingdom of Anor Londo and Lordran do.

Aldrich

"When Aldrich ruminated on the fading of the fire, it inspired visions of a coming age of the deep sea. He knew the path would be arduous, but he had no fear. He would devour the gods himself." —Soul of Aldrich A sinister being who became a Lord of Cinder by devouring humans and was transformed into a dark, oozing monstrosity. Sometime after he was imprisoned by the Cathedral of the Deep, they eventually became corrupted and started worshipping him, even continuing to feed him Hollows and the occasional god. He is a saint with his own heretical cult, opposed to the gods.

Anor Londo

The city from which Gwyndolin governs, an immense citadel with cathedrals, is always covered in snow. It is mostly inhabited by the medians, taller humans linked to the gods.

Lorthic

The main human power, although it is said that the royal family is linked to the gods. The crown prince refused to immolate himself in the flame, King Oceiros went mad, and the queen disappeared. The kingdom rests on four pillars: Mages, Priests, Knights, and the secret pillar, the hunters (a kind of secret service). "Mind you, the mantle of Lord interests me none. The fire-linking curse...the legacy of lords...let it all fade into nothing." (Lothric) A pair of royal brothers who share their curse, but now choose to forsake their duty and watch as the First Flame fades into nothingness. Lorian fights alone at first, and Lothric comes to assist him later.

Problematic

The kingdom of Anor Londo is in danger on all sides: the Deep cult led by Aldrich, the conspiracies of the sorcerer Sullyvhan within the court (who aspires to the title of High Pontiff), the advance of darkness, and the civil war in Lothric are all problems affecting the kingdom of the gods, which for centuries has been a shadow of its former self.

Sullivan

"Long ago, when Sulyvahn was yet a young sorcerer, he discovered the Profaned Capital and an unfading flame beneath a distant tundra of Irithyll, and a burning ambition took root within him." —Profaned Greatsword A powerful sorcerer from the Painted World of Ariandel who rules Irithyll (a suburban part of Anor Londo) and serves as the spiritual leader of the Cathedral of the Deep. He wields two greatswords imbued with dark magic and fire, combining an aggressive fighting style with powerful sorceries.
