| Faction Name | Blade of the Darkmoon |
|---|
Overview
The members of the Blade of the Darkmoon are tasked with tracking down those who have committed sins and wrongdoings in the realm. Each member carries a dark sword to symbolize their authority and duty. They are sent to hunt down and execute criminals, usually individuals who have invaded other players' worlds or attacked non-player characters. This fundamental duty underlines the seriousness and rigor of their code of conduct.
Their commitment to order and justice is immense, resulting in a constant and never-ending battle between them and those who wreak havoc in the realm. Their belief in the cause they serve is so strong that they are ready to sacrifice their lives for it. They believe in punishment rather than forgiveness, and this strict attitude often leads them down a path that many others find unforgiving.
But for all their roughness and harshness, the actions of this alliance are necessary to maintain order in the universe. For all its brutality, The Blade of the Darkmoon plays a central role in the unforgiving world of Dark Souls, a stark reminder that the pursuit of justice always comes at a price.
History
The Age of Fire is a time of divinity and power, when Lord Gwynne and his sons ruled from the golden kingdom of Anor London. Among the famous sons of Gwyn, Gwyndolin, a different kind of child, was closely associated with the power of the moon. From this divine connection, the Blade of the Darkmoon faction was born. Raised as a daughter with a strong attraction to moon magic, Gwyndolin took to serving the gods in secret, away from the public eye. Loyalty to Gwyndolin means he founded a coven, the Darkmoon Blades, chose members to play the role of vengeful ghosts, and took on the ruthlessness of hunting down all sinners.
Led by Dark Sun Gwyndolin, the Knights of the Dark Moon are known to punish the guilty, those who have sinned against the gods or their alliances. Theirs was a grim duty, born of a vow to the deep darkness, to protect the sanctity of the gods and to take swift vengeance on those who disobeyed their laws.
This story of the Darkmoon Blade is intertwined with the demise and rebirth of the Age of Fire, as seen through successive cycles of Fire Link. They stand even when the flame is extinguished and the world darkens, ever ready to punish the guilty with the gaze of their dark sun.
Thus stand the Darkmoon Blades, as knights loyal to their divine master, guardians of the honor of the gods, and true bringers of vengeance in the Dark Souls World. Their story is one of constant duty and isolating darkness, a testament to the power of loyalty even at the end of the world.

Geography
In addition to its fascinating architecture, Anor Londo is adorned with intricately designed pathways lined with huge silver knights that guard every corner. High above the city, atop a giant cathedral, lives the Covenant Keeper Gwyndolin. The geography of Blade of the Darkmoon's habitat is not only terrifying, but also strategic. Endless corridors that create labyrinths and huge castle walls that provide excellent protection symbolize an impregnable fortress. Now muted and full of flair, Anor Londo, along with the Darkmoon Blade, still retains a majestic and austere beauty to behold. Despite its eerie silence, desolation, and overwhelming sense of isolation, the geography of this alliance resonates with the proud echoes of a once-thriving civilization.
