History
The story of Anor Londo is as memorable as it is fascinating, closely intertwined with the story of the First Flame and the gods who discovered its mighty souls: Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, Witch of Nith, First of the Dead. Izalith and the secret nameless pygmy.
With the light of the First Flame, the Age of the Ancients ended and the Age of Fire began. Gwyn and his knights attacked the Eternal Dragons, causing them to fall. After this victory, Gwyn Anor declared his magnificent kingdom in London. The city prospered under his rule, and the sun constantly shone on Gwyn's magnificent architecture and mighty palaces.
As the eons passed, the First Flame began to fade. The Witch of Izalith attempted to create a copy, but unfortunately the experiment failed, resulting in the creation of the Flame of Chaos and the birth of demons. To counter this troubling development, Gwyn Anor left London, leaving her in the care of loyal knights and her eldest daughter, Guinevere, Princess of Sunlight. The extinguished flame eventually led to the Curse of the Undead, which sealed the impending doom of the Dark Ages. Gwyn made the ultimate sacrifice, using his soul to rekindle a dying flame in hopes of prolonging the Age of Fire.
Today, Anor London is an eerie shadow of its former glory. Gwynne's mighty palace, once alive, is now silent, its only inhabitants an illusion of Guinevere created by Gwynne's youngest son, the trickster god Gwyndolin, and Gwynne's loyal knights. Despite its tragic fall, the city still fascinates visitors with its glorious past and the resilience of time, telling an epic tale of gods and fire.
