Drangleic

Drangleic is a location in Dark Souls II.

Description
Drangleic is the kingdom were the events of Dark Souls II take place. The protagonist will have to venture into this treacherous land in order to find a cure for his curse.

Lore
Like Boletaria in Demon's Souls and Lordran in Dark Souls, Drangleic was once a powerful and prosperous land which fell into decadence and damnation after a series of unfortunate events. According to Merchant Hag Melentia, one of these events was a war which was started when "the giants crossed the sea". Another posible cause of Drangleic's fall from grace was the spread of the curse of undeath.

During the glory days of Drangleic the realm was ruled over by King Vendrick, a just and honarable king who led his country to prosperity with the help of his high-ranking knights, who were selected by the king himself for demonstrating both valor and charity.

Drangleic was also known for its brave soldiers: The Defenders, who were known for using both pyromancies and advanced swordplay techniques to slay his foes. Due to this the Defenders were the most feared soldiers in all of the kingdoms. The only warriors who were able to put a challenge to the Defenders were the Silverdrake Knights of Lindeldt, whose ability for casting miracles during battle made them worthy rivals to Drangleic's army.
