by EarthScraper Thu Feb 28, 2013 6:38 pmI was looking at the ring of Artorias' Covenant, and I was, wondering what IS the covenant? Artorias, as you know, was a trusted knight of Gwyn, and from other parts of lore pieced together, Gwyn sent Artorias to New Londo to do something there, and Artorias made a pact with the creatures of the abyss (possibly Kaathe, Four Kings or Manus himself). But, it's never stated what this pact is. I was thinking that Artorias, because of his honor, he asked that if the abyss ever attacked Lordran, he would be the sacrifice, and thus Lordran would be saved. But I believe that he was tricked and so the abyss attacked anyway, so when Oolacile was attacked and Dusk was abducted, Artorias felt that it was his fault, and so burdened himself with rescuing Dusk. But, the abyss, not only took Dusk, but was slowly crushing his famous will of steel.In the end though, Artorias realized he was losing to the abyss, and so protecting his friend Sif, he left the abyss, and waited for someone like you to take his mantel. So, that is my view on his covenant. Goddamn abyss. R.I.P. Arty.
I apologize in advance if i got some of the lore wrong. What do you think the covenant is?
