Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition - Four Kings

The Four Kings were once great leaders of New Londo, and, in recognition of their foresight, Gwyn granted them their ranks and apportioned fragments of a Lord Soul discovered from the First Flame. When the Four Kings were seduced by evil, their knights became Darkwraiths, users of the art of Lifedrain. In an effort to contain the threat they posed, New Londo was flooded, trapping the Four Kings and the Darkwraiths in the Abyss, and sacrificing the city of New Londo and the countless lives therein.
