In the beginning of time, the world consisted of a barren landscape, with cold and harsh environments. It was dominated with immortal dragons. The dragon's immortality came from their magical scales, however they had one weakness, lightning. This era of the world was know as the Age of the Ancients. This Age ended when Fire was born. Fire brought heat and cold to the lands, life and death , light and dark, and with it came the four Soul of Lords.
The first three souls were claimed by 3 gods, Nito,the first of the Dead, the Witch of Izalith and her daughter of Chaos and finally Gwyn , the Lord of Sunlight. All three combining the powers of the Lord Souls, challenged the ancient dragons for dominion over their land. Gwyn's bolt of lightning pierced into their magical scales and with open wounds, Nito inflicting the wounds with death and disease and the Witch of Izalith with great firestorms. All three of their powers combined they vanquished the dragons and dominated the new Age of Fire.

Nito, The First of the Dead
The fourth souls was claimed by the furtive pygmy and passed down through his lineage. The power of the Lord Souls began to weaken and the end of the Age of Fire was near. Lord Gwyn did not want the Age of Fire to end and consequently the Hollow were born. These were creatures that once became undead and insane lead to the hollowing of their soul. A prophecy tell of a chosen Undead that will ring the Bells of Awakening to end the Age of Fire and start the Dark Age. This is were you and your character come in.

That was the plot, now if I may say, this Game is Amazing. Dark Souls is a HARDCORE Action RPG set in an open world environment. It was developed by a company named From Software. The game was released in 2011, late releasing some downloadable content under the title Artorias of the Abyss.

The Plot of the game is continuously told through the game via descriptions of in-game items and dialogues with NPCs. In order for you to understand the story, you must piece together the information given from the items and NPCs, which gets a bit confusing. The game is recognized for it's challenging difficulty and amazing lore. The whole Dark Souls world is filled with weapons , armor and consumables that will help through your vigorous journey.
In March 2014 a sequel came out, Dark Souls 2, which is as expected, equally amazing.
