History
Anor Londo was created by Gwyn, ruler of the gods, to consolidate his power after ushering in the Age of Fire. When the dragons of the Age of Ancients were defeated, the winners of the war, calling themselves gods, founded and constructed a prosperous land named Lordran. Anor Londo came to be Lordran's capital city where it became legendary with the passage of time as an unreachable city of the gods. It was built by Lord Gwyn at the dawn of the Age of Fire, and served as his throne, surrounded by other gods, his brave knights, and his army of Silver Knights. In the Age of Fire, when the First Flame started to exhibit signs that it was fading, and after unsuccessful attempts to prevent this, Lord Gwyn descended to the Kiln with the already charred Black Knights in a dramatic last attempt. He sacrificed himself, offering his own soul in order to extend the Age of Fire, and he succeeded, thus prolonging the Flame. Sadly, for the gods, this selfless sacrifice originated other problems: the Undead Curse was created when Gwyn linked the fire, breaking the natural course of the world and soon, most of Anor Londo's inhabitants abandoned the city and Lordran. Heroes and pilgrims from many eras have tried to reach the city. To reach Anor Londo, they must surpass Sen's Fortress and defeat the gatekeeper, the Iron Golem. Countless have perished in their attempts, but many have also been successful and have reached the city of the gods, such as: the Darkmoon Knightess, Black Iron Tarkus and Solaire of Astora. It's also important to note that prevalining in the Battle of Stoicism grants access to Anor Londo.
Many centuries later, upon the fading of the First Flame, he was forced to leave the city along with half of his Silver Knight army to rekindle the flame. In time, the only remaining deity in Anor Londo was Gwyndolin, who presided over the Darkmoon covenant. He created the illusion of sunlight, as well as Princess Gwynevere, to compel the Chosen Undead to defeat Gwyn and rekindle the First Flame yet again.
