The tower of the gods
He
shifted his glasses as he looked upon the vast expanse of the
caldisla ocean.
“Marvelous.”
he muttered, and he took it all in.
How
long had it been since he'd seen the realm? Since he'd been awake?
He'd
been lost in a nigh-eternal dream ever since that awful day, but now
he was awake, his body had apparently been enshrined in the vast
tower behind him, it's sheer girth stretched for miles on end and it
pierced the heavens.
His
black attire was laced with bits of jewelry he didn't recognize,
including tiny incense pots hanging from gold chains wrapped about
his black robes.
He had
been asleep for a very, very long time, but he wasn't sure how long.
He'd
been certain the world, and mankind, had come to its tragic
conclusion, but it seemed that now humanity, or some race that had
become their heir, lived on.
He
alone might have survived the great disaster.
He
thought no more of it as he eagerly awaited the keepers of this
tower, the tower itself was bereft of people, though he'd not bothered to
explore it, but torches had been lit and were still burning, so
surely someone must have been there recently.
He'd
awoken on an altar carved with images he didn't immediately
recognize, strange symbols and pictures depicting a bizarre race.
Still,
as he waited there, stretching and yawning, soon a boat, a small one
with a hooded figure rowing did approach across the misty waters, the
waves tossing the boat about unceremoniously as he came to moor,
staring up at his awoken guest in surprise before hastily tying the
boat off and rushing to him.
The
figure's hood was ridiculously long, coming to stoop well over his
face, and the figure looked him over, coming in close and sniffing
loudly.
“How...curious.”
the figure muttered. “we did not expect that you would...ever
awaken.” the figure wore many prayer beads and rosaries around his
arms, the robe he wore was tattered and brown, but fitted with
symbols that were holy in nature.
The
character bowed and muttered prayers of “Alimahka, alimahka.”
after listening to the prayers for a bit, the figure introduced himself.
after listening to the prayers for a bit, the figure introduced himself.
“I am
charon, keeper of the tower and the ocean of time. You….you are...a
human? Tell me true! Are you of the race of gods that left us so many
years ago?”
“Gods….” he muttered as he glanced back at the tower.
“Gods….” he muttered as he glanced back at the tower.
“Yes….your
kind, the blessed gods….who brought us out of our state as mere
creatures and blessed us with the same intellect and allowed us to
share your form, here..behold!”
Charon threw back his hood to reveal a canine head, the ears of a pittbull mastiff and the short snout, attached to a firm neck that practically bristled with muscles under glossy black fur.
Charon threw back his hood to reveal a canine head, the ears of a pittbull mastiff and the short snout, attached to a firm neck that practically bristled with muscles under glossy black fur.
His
hands, while human, were themselves covered in fur, something he'd
not noticed because the hands were hidden beneath the sleeves, though
the prayer beads and rosaries hung free like moss from a tree branch,
clattering and clacking.
“It
is good to see that the one god who remained in this world did not
abandon us!! oh the emperor shall be pleased!! Alimahkaaaa...” he
prayed once more and with a sigh, the human introduced himself.
“My
name is….Victor.”
“the divine victor….I shall remember this name!! oh his majesty will be pleased!! our prayers to the gods have been answered, their chosen representative on gaia has awoken to guide us into a new future!!”
Victor considered that for a moment, then with a smile, he patted charon on the shoulder and moved to enter the tower.

Victor considered that for a moment, then with a smile, he patted charon on the shoulder and moved to enter the tower.
“Tell
me about the world...everything. I wish to know what has changed
since mankind allowed global warming to take its toll.”
he
stared once more out to the ocean, the ruins of caldisla, he assumed,
surely beneath her emerald waves and he smiled, a contented smile, a
reminder that he alone had survived because he alone had accessed the
magic font in a vain effort to save the world with its power.
He
alone had become immortal thanks to this.
He was
the last human in the world.

Theory: Giantdad was the true antagonist of dark souls the entire time!!!
Gwyn,
lord of cinder, is known for being the primary villain of dark souls
due to linking the first flame in order to shackle mankind to his age
of fire, thereby using humanity as a tool to ensure the age of the
gods lasted forever. However, what if I told you that the entire
reason the cycle of dark and light exist and is sustained is due to
giantdad?
Have
you ever wondered just why it is gwyn enslaved giants? I mean,
giants, those are a pretty risky thing to make a slave, let alone let
live in your capitol as guardians. Giants are powerful, immense in
size and not particularly friendly, so why of all the things gwyn
could have made a slave, did he make something so dangerous one?
the
answer?
Giantdad.
Giantdad,
or the legend, father of giants, was quite possibly the most powerful
being in the souls universe, unkillable, unstoppable, hell it's even
rumored that his wife was noneother than velka, the goddess of sin
(others claim it was fina, goddess of beauty, which also makes sense,
velka was probably an old flame)
Events of the age of Ash and the dragon wars
But
despite his immense power, he didn't aid gwyn in defeating the
dragons, he ignored the treachery of seathe the scaleless and pretty
much shrugged off any and all involvement. But gwyn saw in this
former ruler of the age of grey and nothingness a serious threat, one
that, if left unchecked, could have potentially ruined his kingdom.
to
mitigate this threat he resorted to cowardice, capturing as many
giants as he could and brainwashing them to do his bidding, incensed,
the legend stormed the capitol of anor londo, which the giants had a
tendency to call "anal rodeo" because of how difficult it
was to even take two steps without a darkmoon blade tearing you a new
asshole, and there gwyn laid down his terms.
Join
him and wear the armor of the giants and the mask of the father and
he could lead the giants as the captain of the guardians of anor
londo, refuse and his kind would pay the ultimate price.
giantdad,
despite everything, was still a father, and any father cares deeply
for his children, even if they happen to number in the thousands.
so
giantdad did precisely that, donning the set and mask and having a
blacksmith in the deep forests forge him a weapon so powerful, that
upon finishing the weapon the poor man turned to stone from the
exhaustion.
Events Of Dark Souls 1
But
giantdad wasn't ready to throw in the towel, he'd given gwyn the
illusion of peace through subjugation, but giantdad wanted to ensure
that he not only got payback, but that he and his kind had
considerable clout left for when things went to hell.
by
his reckoning, nothing but giants would be left to claim anor londo
once he was done with things.
so
giantdad set out on a pilgrimage to oolacile, then past it, he was
looking for the goddess velka.
when
he finally found velka he explained the situation and all but begged
her to aid him in setting up a long plan to ensure that the age of
the gods would be sustained, but not for the humans or the gods, but
for the giants.
from
there he set out to find two primordial serpents and then asked them
to help out with his plan, he would find a means to make the first
flame fade, and in return they would manipulate the undead velka sent
to anor londo for whatever reasons they wished. the ultimate result
would be to force an ebbing and flowing of time and space, with a
safe enough pocket between light and dark that the giants would still
have their little slice of paradise with few, if any real intrusions.
during the war one of giantdad's favorite sons, hawkeye gough, had
earned a substantial reputation, and though gwyn had initially
considered lowering his status, giantdad insisted that gough was more
than knightly material, and after several hours of hemming and hawing
and pleading and bargaining, he eventually got his son a spot in the
four knights of gwyn. thus giantdad elevated his people in gwyn's
society, despite their status as slaves they were now treasured and
revered as one of the key pillars of civilization.
once
everything was set up, giantdad made his way to the kiln and urinated
on the first flame, the first flame began to go out and the gods
began panicking.
seathe,
so enamored in his studies, couldn't give less of a rat's ass as to
what one washed up captain of the sentinels was up to, but the witch
of izalith was entirely certain that giantdad was to blame, so she
decided that instead of trying to rekindle the first flame, which
would play perfectly into his hands, she'd use her own soul to make
an artificial flame.
the
effort backfired, and the demons were born, something giantdad hadn't
quite foreseen, and he grudgingly ended up marking izalith off the
"places I want to bring the family on vacation" list.
from
there things only got progressively worse, at some point gwyn's son
sided with dragons, and gwyn lost it and exiled him. giantdad was
saddened by this for a couple of reasons, one, he'd need a figurehead
and two, he kinda liked the firstborn, they were good pals after the
dragon wars and sparring was quite common between them, but he
shrugged and let it go.
Artorias of the abyss incident
kaathe
then stabbed giantdad in the back when he went to oolacile, one of
giantdad's favorite places, and ended up forcing a spread of the
abyss so severe that artorias, one of his drinking buddies, had to
sacrifice himself in order to stop the spread.
from
there giantdad vowed to raise his puppy sif, eventually stationing
him at artorias's grave. to ensure that sif wouldn't die of old age,
he gave the wolf a piece of his own soul and finished sif's
greatsword training. the side effect was that sif grew to gigantic
proportions, so giantdad had to have the smith forge him a sword that
would compliment his size.
eventually
giantdad stopped paying sif visits, giving a permanent farewell with
but one command "no matter who comes into this place, be he
friend or family, you are to kill them on sight. nobody but you are
to touch this grave. got it?"
when
sif met the true savior of oolacile he would find himself in a very
sad position indeed years later, because giantdad's word was
practically law to the wolf. duty over personal feelings.
Kaathe,
unlike frampt, had driven oolacile to the brink, frampt was going
along with giantdad's plan, but giantdad had never factored in the
artificial spread of the abyss as something even remotely necessary,
so he decided to test the hero of oolacile himself before permitting
him to continue on into the future.
After
being "defeated" giantdad found him worthy to maintain the
abyss, and decided to put a little faith into kaathe's half of the
plan, kaathe, overjoyed by this turn of events, gave giantdad the
ring he would eventually place on the grave, knowing full well who
would come to pick it up when the abyss came forth again.
after
oolacile gwyn was at his limit, his kings had betrayed him, izalith
was a hellhole and nobody even knew what seathe was doing, nor did
they want to.
deciding
it was high time to bring the first flame back to life, he set
himself on fire to extend his age of flame, from there velka
unleashed the curse of undeath in full while giantdad supplied the
remaining gods with serpentine swords that could pin down time and
space, forcing the undead back to the bonfires.
the
gods, on giantdad's own advice, began using the undead as a form of
fuel for linking the first flame. during this time some rogues worked
to spread the abyss, and so it went, back and forth without end, the
ebb and flow of the cycle began in earnest while gwyndolin tried to
hold everything together in vain.
giantdad
eventually had a son by fina, and gave him a copy of the ring of
favor and protection for him to use. havel, who'd been one of his
closest friends (he was a very charismatic fellow) gave him his other
ring, and then giantdad elected to wait for things to come to a head.
and come they did, the first linking of the flame occurred shortly
after it began fading again, and during this time the very same
undead giantdad had fought in oolacile rose up to put an end to gwyn
and link the fire himself.
Events of dark souls 2
with
that out of the way, giantdad left anor londo and created a new race
of giants with velka, stealing the lordvessel and creating a system
that would allow giants to link the flame. the vestiges of the four
soul were still in the vessel and could be used as their own form of
kindling, it didn't hurt that he'd taken the ashes of the first flame
along to ensure that the giants would be the ones to link the flame.
this
new race of giants were very much unlike the ones giantdad had
originally sired, some had faces, while others didn't, and perhaps
due to his intention of having them link the new first flame and
survive the process, they all had the appearance of charcoal.
for
many ages it was this race of "wooden" giants that held the
linking rituals and kept the world from falling into permanent
darkness.
it
was also during these times of peace that kings began encountering
relics or items from anor londo during each freshly linked age and
trying to make use of them, usually with deadly consequences.
for
the people of the sunken city it was sinh, the slumbering dragon,
from which they tried to make more dragons.
for
the iron king it was an excess of fire that ultimately led his
passions to become too much for his loyal knight to handle, resulting
in a feud between them that ended in tragedy.
for
the ivory king it was the discovery of a chaos vent on the other side
of the world, where the demons of izalith ran amok on the other side
of the world in a frigid tundra.
little
did giantdad realize that kaathe's treachery ran far deeper than he
could have envisioned, kaathe wanted to reign over the ebb and flow
era himself, and so he spread more serpent swords across these
kingdoms while fragments of manus took on a life of their own and
instinctively sought to bring ruin to these kings at kaathe's behest.
one
fell in love with her king, another never even reached hers, still
another had her designs foiled by the folly of drangleic's drakeblood
knights.
only
one had the presence of mind to steal the lordvessel and the throne
the giants were using to artificially link the flame. kaathe showed
her how giantdad and velka created the curse of the undead and with
the aid of the lion knights, who didn't realize that they were
working against giantdad, pots of undead curse were taken to
drangleic to be used in an elaborate scheme to take the throne of
want by using velka's undead curse against the people of drangleic.
Giantdad
of course knew nothing of this until the theft had occurred and his
children were already across the ocean, and by the time he'd crossed
after them his firstborn son of that particular race of giants had
gone missing, presumably dead.
eventually
giantdad found the lordvessel at majula, and in a fit of rage smashed
it to pieces and then proceeded to draw a map on the ground of the
basement, trying to determine where the lord souls were.
unfortunately
he couldn't trace the location of these souls, but his pursuit led
him to create a covenant that would ensure that only the worthy could
be the ones to find these souls, the covenant of champions.
it
was during his search that the queen, seeing the threat he posed,
created the pursuers in a vain attempt to hunt him down and put an
end to him.
unfortunately he was the legend, so that plan flew right
out the window, the pursuers were so frightened of him that they bred
a species of giant bird to carry them out of the area should he ever
show up.
Events of Dark Souls 3
eventually
giantdad gave up the hunt, losing patience and decided that, since
he'd set it up so that an undead would eventually find the lord souls
and perform the linking process, that there was no longer anything to
worry about.
Just
to be safe however, he decapitated the baneful queen mytha, worried
that the undead would be too taken by her beauty, then he warped time
and space around the earthen peak so that the iron keep would connect
via a temporal elevator, to ensure that no undead lost their way.
he
then left drangleic forever, but his mask was left behind beneath
brume tower, the mask itself had been terribly weathered by old age,
and it had lost all of its hair and grown a beard. giantdad, after
having seen so many of his dead sons, found that he couldn't stop
crying for the loss, eventually his tears became so great that they
all but saturated his old mask to the point where the mask itself
wouldn't stop crying.
after
all what father would want to see so many of his sons dead and turned
to trees?
It
was after his departure that the nameless king happened upon
drangleic, having lost his memories due to the curse of the undead,
he eventually worked his way around that problem, reclaimed the souls
of the lords as well as that of his own father, acquired the ashen
mist heart and relived the memories of the old kings and finally
acquired a crown that would forever rid him of the undead curse, but
it would do nothing for his good looks sadly.
he
left drangleic, to later return to lordran in order to found a dragon
covenant out of respect for the herald who'd given him so much of his
power and everything else.
Giantdad
would not be seen after that, Havel went on to continue fighting
dragons, the nameless king ended up fighting ornstein and claiming
his armor. the giants lived in relative peace until aldritch, led by
pontiff sulavyhn, tried to take control of them, causing them all no
end to suffering.
the
last of the true gods died in a cage, and the ebbing age of fire and
dark, the one giantdad created for his own kin, is now being
threatened by a new era, an era of deep.
Giantdad
may be gone forever, but his impact on the dark souls universe is
what started the whole adventure, one could argue that gwyn's
cowardice in trying to keep the legend down is what started it, but
it was giantdad, who rigged gwyn's age of fire from behind the scenes
leading to chaos only the giants could survive, who was the REAL
antagonist of dark souls.
it's
only by dark souls 2 that the poor fellow lost his taste for
providence when kaathe's manipulations cost the lives of so many
wooden giants, pushing giantdad over the edge and forcing him to
depart drangleic before he could finish finding the remaining lord
souls.
Now,
in dark souls 3, kaathe's own designs, which had originally been
inspired thanks to giantdad, are fast coming to fruition, after the
ultimate failure that is drangleic he's set it up so that the
nameless king will be defeated by an unkindled, the remaining goddess
has already been dealt with and soon, kaathe's control over the ebb
and flow state that giantdad begun will be absolute.
that
is, assuming some fool doesn't try to put out the first flame for an
age of deep.
with
few worthy candidates to link the flame, the serpent is growing
desperate, but has nobody left save unkindled who could possibly do
the job.
the
last time he tried to have a giant link the flame, the result
backfired thanks to the lack of the four lord souls, and yhorm was
understandably pissed when he woke up.
without
the four lord souls, only humans can link the flame, and the nameless
king no longer needs to link the fire because he's no longer
technically a hollow, he's just really fucking old.
what
will happen? will the fire be linked and kaathe's control be assured?
will the age of dark come about and, again, kaathe's control be
assured? or will some asshole think to themselves "i always
wanted to be a fish" and ruin kaathe's plans by creating an age
of deep?
who
knows what will happen next.
