Four Kings

Lore

The Four Kings were once human, chosen by Gwyn to rule New Londo. When offered the art of Lifedrain by Kaathe, they fell to the dark and New Londo with them.

They now reside in the Abyss.

Theories

Velka's Involvement in the Betrayal of Gwyn

+ Expand

The statue of Velka found in the Painted World can be also found only in New Londo. While it is true that Gwyn granted the Four Kings of New Londo a fragment of his Lord Soul, strangely there seems to be no statues or other signs of worship of Gwyn, only Velka. This might imply that Velka had a hand in the Four Kings betraying Gwyn.

Furthermore, the fact that Red Soapstone, associated with the Darkwraiths of New Londo is found in the Painted World might also tie Velka to New Londo and possibly the Darkwraiths:

Certain Darkwraiths resist their descent into dark and preserve along the honorable path. The Red Soapstone is for them.
