![]() Bitter and grieving his failures, Vendrick tells the Bearer to seek the crowns of old kings of yore. Using the Ashen Mist Heart, the Bearer of the Curse may enter the Memory of the King, where they may interact with King Vendrick as he was before he became hollowed. They may choose to spare the king, leaving him to wander endlessly, or slay him and end his misery. Upon entering the Undead Crypt and defeating Velstadt, the Bearer of the Curse encounters the king, merely a shell of his former self. Having separated himself from his great soul, the king soon became Hollow, doomed to wander the the halls of his crypt aimlessly.

They set siege to Drangleic Castle and relentlessly attacked various settlements, forts and keeps in a war that would last for generations.

With Nashandra at his side, Drangleic entered a prolonged period of peace and prosperity. ![]() Using this newly acquired power, Vendrick created various types of Golems, who in turn built the mighty Drangleic Castle.
