Dark Souls

You arrived in Lordran.
There is no welcome. There is no explanation. Only damp stone, cold air, and an ancient silence that belongs to no known place.
The curse of the undead has brought you here. Not by clear destiny, but by a simple necessity: to find a cure, or something like it. The stories are vague, contradictory… but they all point to this place.
Before you lies the Firelink Shrine. An ancient refuge built among ruins, where a bonfire burns but isn't completely consumed. You see a man sitting near the fire, watching you. He wears chainmail armor, and his hair is brown. In the distance, near a hole, you see a creature similar to a huge snake, with large eyes and human-like teeth. On some steps leading down from the bonfire, you see a delicate-looking blonde woman in robes behind bars.
The air is heavy. Here, every path seems possible… and none safe: a cliff leads to an aqueduct, an elevator to a parish church above, steps leading to the ruins of New Londo, and a nearby cemetery leading to catacombs.
And yet, you have arrived.
Now all that remains is to decide what to do in Lordran.
