That brings us to one of the major themes in DARK SOULS™: The Roleplaying Game — the gradual erosion of humanity. The opening cutscene of Dark Souls establishes the premise of the game. Dragons once ruled the world during the "Age of Ancients." A primordial fire known as the First Flame manifests in the world, establishing a distinction between life and death, and light and dark. Four beings find "Lord Souls" near the First Flame, granting immense power: Gwyn: the Lord of Sunlight, Nito: the First of the Dead, the Witch of Izalith, and the Furtive Pygmy. Gwyn, Nito, and the Witch use their new power to destroy the dragons and take control over the world, while the Furtive Pygmy is said to be forgotten, and thus begins the "Age of Fire." Over time, as the First Flame begins to fade while humans rise in power, Gwyn sacrifices himself to prolong the Age of Fire. The main story takes place towards the end of this second Age of Fire, at which point humanity is said to be afflicted with an undead curse related to a circular, flaming symbol on their bodies known as the Darksign. Those humans afflicted with the undead curse perpetually resurrect after death until they eventually lose their minds, a process referred to as "hollowing." Released in 2009 for the PlayStation 3, Demon's Souls is considered the spiritual predecessor to the Dark Souls series. [33] [34] It has also been described as a spiritual successor to the King's Field series of games, [4] [35] while at the same time being described as a separate entity "guided by differing core game design concepts." [36] It also drew inspiration from video games such as Ico, [37] [38] The Legend of Zelda, [36] and FromSoftware's Otogi: Myth of Demons, [39] as well as manga such as Berserk, Saint Seiya and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
