"It was a mighty kingdom once, ruled by a king named Vendrick. A wise and learned man by all accounts. they say that he studied the workings of the soul to discover what it was, where it came from and how it tied in with magic. Now however, his kingom is long gone, laid to ruin by events that have been lost to history. It is a land of undeath now, populated entirely by hollow creatures. The undead go there, some in hopes of finding relief from the curse, others for reasons that they simply cannot explain. All fail to find what they want however, and now they wander aimlessly with the rest of the lost creatures they become, doomed to wait for new souls to stumble upon them for all of time. That is what Drangleic is. It is a burial ground, for people, for their treasures, for entire cultures."
