Lore[]
Transcluded from Souls of Lords
Discovery and war[]
The Souls of Lords were discovered by the chosen few that "came from the dark". Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and the Furtive Pygmy.
Gwyn, Nito and The Witch of Izalith used the power procured from the Lord Souls to challenge the Everlasting Dragons for dominion of the world and, with the help of others, were successful in their endeavor.[1]
Creation of Chaos[]
The Witch of Izalith attempted to recreate her own First Flame by using her Lord Soul,[2] but this resulted in her own demise and the creation of the Bed of Chaos, mother of all Demons, who inherited possession of the Soul.
Bequeathed Souls[]
Bequeathed Lord Soul Shards are fragments of Gwyn's Lord Soul[3] and were bestowed as gifts. One was given to Seath the Scaleless for betraying his own kind. Another was given to the Four Kings when Lord Gwyn recognized their foresight as leaders of New Londo.[4]
Dark Soul[]
The fourth Soul that was discovered by the Furtive Pygmy, ancestor to the Chosen Undead, was a unique Soul, the "Dark Soul". With it, he waited for Fire to subside so that the Dark Lord could one day be born amongst the humans and bring about the Age of Dark. It was said that he was the progenitor of humans,[5] and that he split the Dark Soul into countless[6] fragments.

- ↑ Every descendant of the Furtive Pygmy holds within themselves at least one Humanity. Each Humanity is a fragment of the Dark Soul, like the Bequeathed Lord Soul Shards, with a key difference: when humans procreate, they conceive new Humanities which maintain the integrity of their progenitors. Theoretically, Humans could procreate for infinity, and yet their Humanity would not lose its strength, which by extension means that the Dark Soul would maintain its power.
