The path becomes stairs as you leave the valley. Clouds part and for a brief moment the sun shines upon you. At the in trance to the valley is a stone circle. Some of the stones still stand but most have been slowed to fall. There is a knight sitting on one of these toppled stones he notices your arrival but quickly returns his attention to a small black object in his hands.

From here you can see much of the surrounding country side. a huge stone fortress dominates the otherwise barren landscape.

Humanity, essence of sanity, stability, life. This is the last one I have, but... I don't think I'll use it... hehe.

He holds out the sprite, Take it.

You don't know? That he points to the flask is an Estus flask, it'll heal you when you consume it, but you'll only have a limited number of uses between bonfires. That he points at the stone I think is a white soapstone, something to do with drawing yourself into other worlds.

The knight is dressed in full plate and has a greatsword on his back. Strangest thing, I don't know why I'm here, I'm just waiting for my time to join those down there, hehe.

If you kill me I'll just be back. Most things don't stay dead for too long here.

It's called the Firekeep, they say a god once burnt themself beneath it. Now it's just filled with the undead.

Well there's this old battlefield filled with hollows, I didn't get through it to see whats in the castle.

You start down the path to Firekeep. As you exit the stone circle you note there were two other paths, both of which hooks backwards on heading upwards and the other downwards. A short walk before you there is, as the knight had predicted, signs of a battlefield. The path becomes nonexistent in the fields of crumbled walls, scattered paths and broken engines of war. You can see many hollows, all dressed in decayed and battered uniforms. Notable among them is the three which hold their post on a broken section of wall, they will likely Harry you as you approach.

The path hooks around sharply, as you follow it you see the wilderness end on the shores of some ocean. The path quickly narrows between the cliff and a drop. Ahead you can see a small village perched precariously on the coast.
