Hollows of Lordran

Introduction

Across the world, a terrible curse has taken hold. A ring shaped deformity appears on ordinary people, marking them as accursed Undead. An Undead cannot achieve a true death, instead resurrecting as a Hollow, a mindless zombie driven only by a hunger for human souls. The land of Lordran, once the seat of power for a family of gods, is now overrun by Hollows and other monsters. Undead adventurers travel to Lordran, thought to be the source of the curse, each seeking to reinvent their lives. Some come to loot Lordran's ancient treasures. Others come to achieve salvation in the service of the gods. Yet most of the Undead have but one aim: To cure themselves of the curse, and avoid the fate that has taken so many others.

But of all the those courageous enough to come to Lordran, will even a single one of them overcome the weight of the curse?
