History
But the landscape changed dramatically after the legendary Irithyll invasion. The Irithils, derided as deceitful pretenders, broke through the strong walls of the fortress in the wiles of darkness and engaged in an unprecedented battle. The collision reverberated with tremendous force, shaking the universe with aftershocks. After the conflict, Irithyll became dominant and the ancient Keep Faroth fell under their control.
After that, the fort saw dark days as the Iritilas exercised their rule and imposed a strict regime that struck fear into the surrounding communities. Mystical barriers were built, the natural wealth of the fortress was plundered, and it was during these times of oppression that the Pharoth Fortress as we know it today began to take shape. The fortress has become a symbol of resilience, a relic of the past that stands amidst the conflicts of the present. But the universe watched and did not allow the darkness to prevail. Divine intervention was initiated in the form of the Ring of Elden, a ring of all-powerful power. Legends tell of a warrior of the Ring of Elden who infiltrated this fearsome stronghold, slaying the monarch of the Irithils, restoring peace and strengthening the spirit of the Shadow Warrior.
Today, Fort Faroth bears witness to the hardships he faced, the lessons he learned and the triumphs he celebrated. The solid foundation, scarred walls, and vivid stories continue to tell their story, witnessing the journey from darkness to light that has made it a central part of the Elden Ring universe. Visitors flock to experience echoes of the past, become a part of history and discover the secrets this fortress still holds nearby.
Background
The legendary fortress is said to have been built by the hands of a powerful demigod to provide a stronghold against the terrors of the night. To solidify his reign, he created the mighty Blade Faroth, a massive weapon believed to cut through the very fabric of reality. But the arrival of Shattering changed everything. The fortress, once radiant with life and power, was destroyed and surrounded by chaos. The once-thriving market is but a ghost of its former self, echoing with laughter, giving way to absolute silence.
Once beautifully carved halls that teemed with royal activity now lie abandoned, haunted by the memories of the doomed inhabitants who once lived there. There is a palpable aura of despair, each ruined room whispering tales of lost glory and darkness engulfed. But there is a faint note of resistance between the ruins and the desert. Beneath the crumbling stones and forgotten traditions, Pharoth's fortress still hides untold secrets waiting to be discovered by the brave and fearless. There is no doubt that the great power that once rang out from his stones has been silenced. But the testament of time, carved into every crevice of the fortress, speaks of a power that doesn't quite fade and echoes throughout the ages for those brave enough to listen. Despite all the tragic losses, Fort Faroth remains an enduring symbol of the past glory and resilience of the Elden Ring universe.
