Majula

Madula is a location in Dark Souls II.

Description
Madula acts as the main hub or base for the player character during the events of the game, much like the Nexus in Demon's Souls and Firelink Shrine in Dark Souls. Madula appears to be some kind of rural town located next to the coast. There are some landmarks in Madula, such as a small tower not too far from the town and a port next to the coastline. Once the player rescues or meets and NPC, said character will be met again in Madula. Some of the rescued NPCs will offer their services to the player.

Lore
Located on the edge of Drangleic, Madula is a small rural town which has become a destination for the survivors of Drangleic who have lost their home, as well as a temporary shelter for travellers and drifters who have ventured into this treacherous land.
