Perhaps you’ve seen it, maybe in a dream.

A murky, forgotten land.

A place where souls may mend your ailing mind.

You will lose everything…

… once Branded.

The symbol of the curse.

An augur of darkness.

Your past. Your future. Your very light. None will have meaning, and you won’t even care.

By then, you’ll be something other than human.

A thing that feeds on souls.

A Hollow.

Long ago, in a walled off land, far to the north, a great king built a great kingdom. I believe they called it Drangleic.

Perhaps you’re familiar.

No, how could you be.

But one day, you will stand before its decrepit gate.

Without really knowing why…

Like a moth drawn to a flame.

Your wings will burn in anguish.

Time after time.

For that is your fate.

The fate of the cursed.

Return to Drangleic is an annual event held by the DS2 community to encourage people to play through the game again with a new character.

This year it starts today, January 16th, and runs through January 30th.

There should be many more people playing during the event so you’ll be more able to enjoy the multiplayer.

Guidelines:

  • Create a new character and play through the game
  • Engage in co-op and PvP as much as possible
  • Leave a message that says "Don't give up skeleton!" by the Majula bonfire. Be generous rating these messages!
  • Play through at your own pace
  • SOTFS recommended, all platforms welcome

Anyone here going to play? I will be making a new character tonight. Planning on trying out Hexes, though also will level strength some since I want to use the Sacred Chime Hammer which looks fun.
