Dark Souls II #HO | Scholar of the First Sin

Yo lo maté en cuanto se dividió de una tormenta de fuego (creo que se llamaba así, es la que saca muchos pilares de fuego). Tienes que tener suerte de que le den a cada una de las copias un par de pilares pero es como más fácil me pareció.

Dark Souls 2 Lore - The Tale of Two Lovers

In the previous age before Drangleic came to be, Vendrick was an Undead who managed to defeat Four Old Ones who posessed powerful souls. Using their souls, Vendrick and his brother Aldia kept from Hollowing and survived that age long after it passed.

Vendrick and Aldia lived in Venn where a ruler reigned as the Iron King. The king was a simple and conceited man. He held a great hunt of the Undead, killing them for sport and locking them up in the Copse. Vendrick came to him in peace with an offering of a powerful soul. The king allowed the brothers to study the Undead that he had round up. Both Aldia and Vendrick were interested in studying the soul and believed that the Undead were key to solving a greater mystery linked to the Curse: the cycles of Fire and Dark. They knew that the Undead Curse comes about near the end of an age and with each new age, came a new ruler. They utilized this knowledge to their full advantage.

The Iron King grew more arrogant, under the influence of the powerful soul. He had a wife, Mytha, but fell back in love with an old flame: a Princess from the neighboring kingdom of Alken, with which they were at war. Mytha grew jealous, and in her jealousy, she grew mad as she coated herself with poison to retain beauty that would attract the Iron King. However the poison only transformed her and in time she turned completely mad. The Iron King exiled her from the land but Mytha stayed close to her king, holding dominion over the peasants with her unnatural beauty. Out of spite, Mytha poisoned the land around the Iron King's castle, preventing him from ever leaving to visit his beloved maiden.

The kingdom of Alken was also home to a widely-known Bastille, used in the past as a lockup of sinners and miscreants. The Undead were growing rampant and the Bastille became a perfect fit for holding them. Vendrick and Aldia were drawn here out of curiosity for what were held in the prison cells. The Princess of Alken was afflicted by the Curse. Vendrick gave peace offerings to the rulers of Alken and to the Princess a powerful soul, telling her it would mend her ailing body. He gained access to the Bastille and the brothers were allowed to use it for their studies. The Princess, however, grew desperate as time went on and she did not receive anymore visits from the Iron King. She thought he had neglected her but had to know for sure. She snuck into the Bastille, where an Undead would never dare enter, and rang the Bell of Awakening at the Belfry. The Iron King heard its ring and ordered his servants to ring the Bell in his Keep.

The Princess, overjoyed at the sound of Venn's Bell, lit a hidden bonfire under the tower of the Bastille and used it to travel to the Iron Castle. The two lovers were finally reunited and the Princess learned of the king's predicament. Mytha kept a close watch over his Keep and she devised new ways to keep the king bound, using puppets and whatever she could attract with her charm. The lovers devised their own puppets but in the end, were no match for Mytha and her poison. The Princess could not stay long on each visit to Alken for she had to go back to her family in Alken. The king sensed his power waning and his kingdom coming to an end. As the fire started to fade, the lovers feared never seeing each other again. The Princess made a final visit to the Iron Castle one day in an attempt to extend the Iron King's reign.

The Princess of Alken had an idea to recreate the First Flame of old legend. It would be right in the heart of the Iron Castle and would give power back to her love. But only chaos spewed out. In an attempt to recreate the first flame, a hulking demon was given birth and with it, fire and lava burst out of every seem, devouring the mighty castle. The Iron King fought the demon but was defeated in one blow. He sank deep into the lava, his body now a vessel for all sorts of demonic energy. Frightened, the Princess fled back to Alken, and in her shame, locked herself under the tower of the Bastille.

Vendrick became ruler of the new kingdom of Drangleic.
