Talk:Velka, Goddess of Sin/@comment-4526779-20141208205149/@comment-101.166.17.97-20150112123419

I'm not usually one to connect Demon's Souls to Dark Souls, but the fact that Velka's Talisman uses intelligence to cast miracles makes me wonder. On top of the fact that she is described as a black haired witch, echoing The Maiden, it seems intentional -- I can't imagine Miyazaki did it by mistake.

Just where did Velka come from, anyway? Was she there at the first flame? Did she come after? Was she always there? Is the first flame even the real beginning of "life," or merely just the beginning of the Age of Fire? Why does she hate Gwyn?

I personally believe that Velka's involvement is just there to trick people like me into thinking DeS and DS are in the same universe. Maybe Miyazaki just wanted us to consider the possibility that the two worlds are connected, and not necessarily draw conclusions. With that said though, Velka is pretty vital to man's victory, as she seems to be responsible for taking undead from the Asylum.
