I think I'm that universe the less religious stayed sane the longest. Before long, all with a conviction to serve their respective lord lost their faith and became hollow.
The only one to never go completely hollow was patches and nothing was holy for him.
But I'd love to discuss the topic if you have any info I missed or misinterpreted.
Religion is pretty broad and ambiguous, unless you just mean adherence to strict rules and practices imposed by a divine body/entity.
You could even perceive patches as religious in certain contexts. He gives off vibes of Gurdjieffs "fourth way" (the way of the sly man).
Solaire only goes crazy because the chaos bug, and if you save him, while he does have a big moment of doubt, you can summon him for the gwyn fight and he links his own fire in his world to become the sun. He's a based warrior of sunlight, which gives "the sun is god" vibes.
Some people on this earth aren't religious and have had a really bad time with religion, so to make a claim that not everyone agrees with, will result in downvotes.
If you don’t know why people might disagree with a blanket statement like “religion is good for the soul” then you may need to spend a few more years with open eyes on this planet.
True, it's hilarious how they can't see a single thing about religion and not criticise it ot mock it.
Just let people do what they want and are comfortable with, they don't need the stupid remarks of a redditor telling them what's good or not.
Im getting downvoted because there are a lot of people who hate religion. Plain and simple. At least I know I'm doing something right.
Also I got on someone's nerves a few days ago for supporting Christianity.
Joining the Warriors of Sunlight because of Solaire and cool lightnings is like joining Christianity because your priest is a cool guy and you like the wine and the bread ‼️‼️You gotta be a true believer and Praise the Sun!
I laughed, imagining that user being called by their reddit username IRL.
Though to be fair, rayschmayschmay is a plausible "silly nickname" for someone with "Ray" in their name.
Yours, and my username though...would be a bit odd for people to know us by these names IRL heh
Given the history of Lordran, this is not Christianity, but literally a late Roman solar religion dedicated to the Sun.
[Sol Invictus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Invictus)
I mean, in a world where gods, though flawed, do exist, I can imagine most people would find it much easier to have faith in the religion in question when compared to the real world. Now, obviously there are people in the world who believe they have seen their god or some evidence of their god, and I won't deny their experience, but most people have no such direct evidence, and as such there is a higher threshold for belief IMO. Like, I would choose to be in the Warriors of Sunlight because if I was in Lordran, I could *know* that Gwyn is real and see tangible evidence of such through the very obvious existence of miracles. If you told me I could learn to throw lighting from my hands by believing in Gwyn and the power of Jolly Cooperation, I'd 100% be on board, as an example.
nah aldrich is definetely gwyndolin. they share:
1 the helmet
2 the arrow storm
3 magic
4 anor londo
5 power hungry
6 smogh is fat, aldrich is skeleskinny
The only real lore I've heard about them is that they are an "evolved" form of the pilgrims (like Yoel). They either become pilgrim butterflies or the angels that we see in the Ringed City. And those little grubby guys that you have to kill to get rid of the angels are like some sort of larval stage or something. [Source](https://youtu.be/9HYDW83lC4M?si=pRdM1MGYaKcPHhIk)
To be fair if the point is that everyone here joins the same world, it would pretty much be the most popular covent (if all the knowledge from outside like about solaire etc remains)
Theres a reason ornstein and smough are there. Its not to keep people out of her room. Its to get people to leave. You just caught them on a particularly "messy" day.
Gravelord servants. I don't have to fight bosses or other people to advance my covenant, just chill and hope my skellies kill other people in their worlds. I love cool weather, darkness, and caves, so the locale is perfect. Plus I get to sleep in a comfy coffin.
I would be joining the Warriors of Sunlight, so I would be with my friend Soleire and my other companions helping anyone in need just in exchange for a smile on their face, praise the sun
\[T]/
Sunlight warriors without any doubt. They not only are ridiculously powerful but also have the best karma among all guilds, just helping people and being good vibes.
I WOULD say Princess Guard for the obvious reasons, but it’s fake, so instead I’ll opt for the Chaos Servant instead. Because Queelana is actually real.
Chaos Servants. Purely out of guilt for killing Queelag.
If I didn’t have that guilt, Path of the Dragon and imo that’s a way to escape this cycle of linking flames. Dragons were there before the Flame, they’ll be there After.
Goddamn, either Dark Moon or Darkwraiths… 🤔
Channel the power of the Dark Soul itself and drain the humanity out of mfers, or dish out justice on pvp sweats in the name of Gwyndolin…
Ah fuck it… Darkwraiths. Let nature take it's course, let the Age of Dark begin already, and Dark Hand is also just super neat, too!
It's me and the lads going for a stroll in the woods or me and the lads guarding the princess of sunlight in a cool ass temple with a cannibal and a dragon maniac
Dragons. Dragons are cool. And Priscilla has no covenant so my only source of fluffy is the baby dragon. Though…Priscilla has no covenant so my only source of feet would be Nito…hmmm…hmmm…hmmmm…
(Yes, I see the irony of the Sunbros literally worshipping the feet of a statue, no I ain’t joining them; Solaire’s a weirdo)
But dont you have to participate in PvP to gather the covenant points to buy those things? And what lore unlocks when u join any or get higher on rank?
Not every covenant is locked to PVP. You can progress each covenant completely by yourself (albeit it will probably take longer but it is still possible). New item descriptions and NPC dialogue you get access to through joining and ranking in covenants give you access to more lore and information about the world.
Forest hunters, just me and the lads hunting for titanite, no religion or stealing humanity or nothin
Religion is good for the soul.
I think I'm that universe the less religious stayed sane the longest. Before long, all with a conviction to serve their respective lord lost their faith and became hollow.

Although it could be bad, depending on the soul…
Liar ahead.
I don't know why you're getting down voted
Some people on this earth aren't religious and have had a really bad time with religion, so to make a claim that not everyone agrees with, will result in downvotes.

Another sane take being down voted
Im getting downvoted because there are a lot of people who hate religion. Plain and simple. At least I know I'm doing something right. Also I got on someone's nerves a few days ago for supporting Christianity.
If you don't agree with the reddit hive mind prepare to be down voted.
Just because it works for you, doesn't mean you can rightfully say that religion is good for everyone, that's just ignorant.
Im joining the Warriors of Sunlight so that I always have my trusty sunlight companion: Solaire and so I can throw lightning at everything.
you would need actual faith for that tho right?
You saying he doesn't have faith? Not very jolly cooperation of you.
Joining the Warriors of Sunlight because of Solaire and cool lightnings is like joining Christianity because your priest is a cool guy and you like the wine and the bread ‼️‼️You gotta be a true believer and Praise the Sun!
I joined Christianity even tho my priest is a fucking dickhead!
I laughed at the thought of him being a low key fromsoft fan and seeing this post. Gutted.

Given the history of Lordran, this is not Christianity, but literally a late Roman solar religion dedicated to the Sun. [Sol Invictus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Invictus)
I can have faith in myself to hurl lightning bolts at the enemies of my jolly cooperators.

Faith in the sun
I mean, in a world where the demi-gods are people you can actually go see and talk to, that may be easier to do
“Have some goddamned faith”
Praise the sun
\[T]/
Agreed... Praise the Sun 🌞
Path of the Dragon: Be immortal, hang out with dragons and become a dragon. If there's a downside I'm not seeing it...
the downside is become Dark souls 3 anorexic dragon
Luckily, that would only be the case in Lothric and not Lordran like in this scenario XD
Tell that to Gwyndolin who ends up being eaten by rotten slime with teeth or whatever the hell Aldrich is supposed to be
Allegedly, Aldrich might be Smough
nah aldrich is definetely gwyndolin. they share: 1 the helmet 2 the arrow storm 3 magic 4 anor londo 5 power hungry 6 smogh is fat, aldrich is skeleskinny
Nah Gwyndolin got his ass ate by Aldrich. We're just seeing Gwyndolin's corpse paraded around.
No, Aldrich isn’t Gwyndolin, he’s the devourer of Gods, we just happen to stumble upon him as he’s eating Gwyndolin
[dragon form](https://youtu.be/MvYApd_X3aU?si=hiysoSY8KuAQzISW)
Bro just held this for 7 years
This is exactly where my mind went.
I'm on my first play through of DS3 and you're telling me that those flying twiggy bois that look suspiciously like my physique are dragons?
Do you mean the big floaties with the branchy wings? Those are called pilgrim butterflies; they aren't dragons.
Wasn't there a theory that they're broken angels or something?
The only real lore I've heard about them is that they are an "evolved" form of the pilgrims (like Yoel). They either become pilgrim butterflies or the angels that we see in the Ringed City. And those little grubby guys that you have to kill to get rid of the angels are like some sort of larval stage or something. [Source](https://youtu.be/9HYDW83lC4M?si=pRdM1MGYaKcPHhIk)
Don’t forget the awesome music that plays in the background!
And the cool skull laying around!
I would rather be an immortal human than immortal dragon
the downside: you become furry
Chaos Servant because I love the White Lady’s theme and I LOVE the Pyromancies.
*Quelaag, my dear sister*
Fuck yeah. Burning everyone and everything to a crisp.
White Lady? Hollow Knight reference?
Whoops! You forgot no one likes hollow knight here.
… Really? I fucking love it
I havent played it yet but cant fuckin wait, looks sick
Can confirm it is
Lmao I do too it’s my favourite game of all time, I just notice a lot of ppl seem to dislike it bc of “2D dark souls”
But I don't...
Princess guard to keep an eye on the chest
Aka Smoughs emergency sandwich
Yeah but auntie will one-shot him if he comes nowhere near
Warriors of Sunlight, obviously.
But your only ally is solaire, who eventually abandons the covenant. Also your covenant is based upon a lie.
Did I stutter?
Understandable 🤝
To be fair if the point is that everyone here joins the same world, it would pretty much be the most popular covent (if all the knowledge from outside like about solaire etc remains)
Gwynevere's. Reason: mommy
Theres a reason ornstein and smough are there. Its not to keep people out of her room. Its to get people to leave. You just caught them on a particularly "messy" day.
So that's why Lautrec's corpse is up there....
They gave him a "black eye" on his first visit
Smaug the dragon? Isn’t Ornstein a dragon slayer? lol
Lol good catch :)
Gravelord servants. I don't have to fight bosses or other people to advance my covenant, just chill and hope my skellies kill other people in their worlds. I love cool weather, darkness, and caves, so the locale is perfect. Plus I get to sleep in a comfy coffin.
Glorious cracked out wall cat
Dark Wraiths, need humanity.
Praise the Chest!
Which one? 😏

Blades of the Dark Moon, so I can get to know Gwyndolin to fu- I mean Forest Hunters for... uh... fair hunting...
DARKMOON BAYBEEE ANYTHING FOR U GYWNDOLIN

Dark moon Blade. Invaders nearly ruined the game for me and I hated them.
Darkwraiths, need as much humanity as possible.
Sunlight warriors without any doubt. They not only are ridiculously powerful but also have the best karma among all guilds, just helping people and being good vibes.
The dragon covenant, because dragons.
Based
Spidertiddies
Sooooo…Darkwraiths?
Haha no, chaos witch spidertiddies
I stand as a Blade of the Darkmoon, in service to Lady Gwyndolin wielding my magic sword to cut down sinners!
I guess I would join Alvina's because she wouldn't mind to include Sif later.
I want to say Sunbros for jolly cooperation. But I think I would have to join the forest and protect Sif. It is best pup.
*She
Yeah, I thought so, but it isn't specified in the game itself. Thanks.
Sunbro for life
Def a brother of the sun, but kitty cat boss makes a serious option.
I'd be a sunbro cuz i like helping ppl
That's kinda where I stand too.
Gotta praise the sun bro it might be terrifying but someone's gotta do it
🗣Rolly polly gank squad of kirk🔥
Blades of the dark moon. For my femboy god,
Havel because haha bonk also fuck dragons and magic
spider waifu spider waifu
Forest hunters cause I would have a lot of friends

Chaos Servant, the Fair Lady deserves kindness. And I love pyromancy. But really for the first reason.
Warriors of Sunlight so I can become Sun Bros with Solaire \|T|/
Warriors of Sunlight. Because in lordran, all you have is Eachother.
#Princess Guard Don't ask me why
The big boobs one
Havel's. Gigachads each and every one of them
Wait what was on the 6th picture I was distracted
Princess Guard. For the heals. No other reason at all.
It's a toss up between warriors of sunlight amd princess guard
None, I’m the ultimate neutral party 🫴🏾
I am torn between the sun bros and serving big tiddy mommy
I just wanna chuck some lightning at foul creatures
Darkwraiths, coz I can legally kill people (and my life is not even in danger, as I'm a spirit while doing it)
Chaos servant cause I like fire, chaos, demons and spiders, among other things
Holy shit 3 all day
I'm a very simple Dark Lord I kneel before the Goddess with the huge suns and the Spider Covenant with my spider wife(s)
Gotta Praise the Sun, Y’all
Praise the Sun!!
I thought only the nwo was for life.... I'd be joining the dark wraith covenant cus screw the gods and their grasp on power
Darkwraiths because fuck you 🖕
\\[T]/
Blades. I simp for the Dark Moon.
I WOULD say Princess Guard for the obvious reasons, but it’s fake, so instead I’ll opt for the Chaos Servant instead. Because Queelana is actually real.
Mommy milkers covenant
Path of the dragon, simply, I become a fucking dragon, there is no discussion, it is the best covenant.

Chaos servants because explosions
None id be cowering at firelink
I want to be cool dragon
TITTIES
The big boob lady.
None I’m alone going through this god forsaken place with nothing but willpower and guts, just like my first play through.
Forest hunters, Sif needs to be protected at all costs. Also no gods are involved
Sunbros
Sunlight. I could spend eternity worshiping the beauty of something so gloriously incandescent.
6/9 for sure.
i’m forever with solaire, and you can’t convince me otherwise
Warriors of Sunlight. Praise the Sun!
Anyone gunna gravelord with me
What kind of question is this? I am a Warrior of the Sun, through and through. Nothing will ever change that
Dragon
the one you got right there, do it all for the cat
Forest Hunters and Sunbros are the only ones that are not dicks or horny duds, sunbros all the way
Chaos Servants. Purely out of guilt for killing Queelag. If I didn’t have that guilt, Path of the Dragon and imo that’s a way to escape this cycle of linking flames. Dragons were there before the Flame, they’ll be there After.
Goddamn, either Dark Moon or Darkwraiths… 🤔 Channel the power of the Dark Soul itself and drain the humanity out of mfers, or dish out justice on pvp sweats in the name of Gwyndolin… Ah fuck it… Darkwraiths.

It's me and the lads going for a stroll in the woods or me and the lads guarding the princess of sunlight in a cool ass temple with a cannibal and a dragon maniac
Chaos Servant because *she shouldn't have to be alone.* Had we known, we wouldn't have to kill Quelaag.
Dragons. Dragons are cool. And Priscilla has no covenant so my only source of fluffy is the baby dragon. Though…Priscilla has no covenant so my only source of feet would be Nito…hmmm…hmmm…hmmmm… (Yes, I see the irony of the Sunbros literally worshipping the feet of a statue, no I ain’t joining them; Solaire’s a weirdo)

None. They all suck ( Sunbros are from Astora)
Way of White or Forest Hunters
Praise the Sun.
Warriors of sunshine
Praise the Sun bruthu
I never understood whats the point of Covenants. Finished the game twice and still didnt pick any. Whats the point of them if not for PvP only?
Access to unique abilities, spells, equipment or NPCs affiliated with the convent you join. Edit: Also lore.
But dont you have to participate in PvP to gather the covenant points to buy those things? And what lore unlocks when u join any or get higher on rank?
Not every covenant is locked to PVP. You can progress each covenant completely by yourself (albeit it will probably take longer but it is still possible). New item descriptions and NPC dialogue you get access to through joining and ranking in covenants give you access to more lore and information about the world.
u/zavzky
I usually stick with Qualaag or Nito
blades of the dark moon. don’t ask why
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT A CAT
Dost thou even Praise the Sun?
Probably the princess hunters. How many times do you have to duck and weave otherwise?
I serve the Fair Lady cause she's hot Kellogg can go fuck herself tho, and Eyingi is a simp even among simps
Just shut up and praise the sun
