Dragon Haven

The Dragon Haven, previously known as the Archdragon Peak is a great temple and sanctuary created for the remaining Dragons in the world.

## History

### The Creation of Archdragon Peak

Long after the War of Souls and following his fathers death, The Nameless King ascended to the throne of Lordran, being crowned in Anor Londo and gained a substantial following, including the creation of his own covenant becoming known as the Heirs of the Sun or the Sunlight Covenant. After a couple years of his reign however, in 7FY he began to ally himself with the Ancient Dragons, even managing to tame one to ride. Disgusted by this new pact however, the deities of Anor Londo begin to condemn him, leading to him being dethroned and exiled from the City, even his name being erased from the annals of history, leading to him being called The Nameless King.

With his exile he ventured out into the world, trying to decide a new purpose for himself. He eventually came to the realisation that the remaining Dragons in the world are not safe and as such decided to create a sanctuary for them, deep in the mountains where it will be difficult to find them. He began carving out a haven of solid stone in the mountain taking years to build, before luring and inviting as many dragons he could find on the continent to the sanctuary, effectively sealing their safety.

The year that the Nameless King was exiled, Dragonslayer Ornstein, departed Anor Londo with the purpose of searching for him. It is likely that the Nameless King had left the Archdragon Peak and journeyed to the Eastern Continent of Dwyrain. It was long often rumoured that he posed as a God in this continent and disguised himself as someone else, often attributed to the fact that Dwyrain had its own God of War called Faraam, whos true name was unknown and could have been Gwyns Firstborn. There is also the fact that Faraam had settled a Dragon Sanctuary on Dwyrain too and allying himself with the Drakeblood Knights of Higashi, famed for their usage of Dragon blood to gain Draconic abilities. Regardless, Ornstein managed to track down and find the Nameless King, his long lost friend where he then was taken back to the Archdragon Peak to live in peace.

Ornstein however wanted to create a secret way to be able to travel from the mountain to the land below, which the Nameless King did not initially approve of, but eventually conceded to creating a magical warping system to the ground at the base of the peak. This however would be the Nameless Kings undoing.

### The Duel of the Nameless

During the Ashen Ones quest to becoming a Lord of Cinder, he discovered the secret route to the Archdragon Peak whilst within Irithyll and warped to the mountain sanctuary. There he discovered the ruins of what was the Archdragon Peak and also the lion armour of Ornstein, indicating the Ornstein had either died a long time ago or he had left his armour and journeyed to somewhere else. He also came across a part of the peak, trapped in an everlasting storm and there he discovered the Nameless King and his tamed dragon, The King of the Storms. There, the Duel of the Nameless took place with the Ashen One defeating the Nameless King.

### Becoming the Dragon Haven

Following the true fading of the First Flame in 1699FY, the Ashen One wanted to carry on the Nameless Kings legacy and keep the protection of the Dragons by creating a law that any of the dragons at the Archdragon Peak are henceforth protected by the Ashen One. He ordered the reconstruction of the ruined sanctuary and renamed it to the Dragon Haven, whilst also making it readily available to the everyone but mostly guarded by the Knights of Lorithia as well as several guards of the Drakeblood knights of Higashi.
