Dark Souls

[TomGuycott]

I am pretty sure that Manus is the first (and at the time of Dark Souls only) Dark Lord, as described by Kaathe. He is the ancestor of man, somehow swallowed up in powers of darkness and a thirst for humanity. It is mentioned that he fell into some sort of dormancy, but the people of Ooacile were convinced by Kaathe to awaken him, and thus Ooacile was destroyed. However, it does not mention how or when the Abyss spread from there to New Londo, where the city had to be flooded to prevent the spread of the Abyss and Darkwraiths.

Personally I haven't read much about what Dark Souls II is supposed to be about, and while I admit I'd have loved a different title more, I love the series far too much to be mad at it. I liked the fight scene in that cinematic a lot, it was really brutal and I loved how it left the character filled with arrows and crap at the end.
