Yeah, I think it'd be cool if we made something original to roleplay in, but I think it would also be cool if we had our storyline focused around the first flame. I'm not exactly sure how we could do that, way later in history, like the transformation between Lordran and Drangleic, though I don't believe we could actually work that out.

Another idea though, perhaps we could do an alternate ending of Dark Souls 1? From the events of Dark Souls 2, it pretty much makes it known that the Chosen Undead kindled the first flame, but what if he didn't? I'm not an expert in Dark Souls lore, but what do you all think about this? Perhaps the first flame went out, and the world was thrust into the Age of Dark. The Age of Dark setting in would cause abyss to spread across the world, and possibly all humans to become undead, though I'm not sure how that works exactly. I was thinking that maybe the only sources of hope left would be the lord souls/soul shards, the ones from Gwyn, The Witch of Izalith, Gravelord Nito, and the Furtive Pygmy. This would only be a legend to the remnants of the living humans/undeads, but I was thinking that our characters would be attempting to find these souls.

I'm not sure if that even makes sense, but that's an idea I have now. Not anything official, just something I wanna throw in. What do you all think about a story like this?
