Non-Player Characters

Non-Player Characters or NPCs make up the bulk of the life and activity of Worlds Intertwined, both in Hiasel and Utlinth, filling it the day-to-day that keeps it running and feel alive. In Dark Souls Online especially, they provide quests, are the quests, or will thwart quests, the mainstay of the game's action. Whether it be the economy, the lords and their servants, the monster hunters or the monsters themselves, NPCs are everywhere and many have a hand in any given adventure our players face.

He was also wearing a beret in the same style as his cape.
