Three Undead Cinders

"When the flame becomes but an ember, an Undead of unusual strength shall throw off the shackles of betrayal and banish darkness with incandescent light."

- Old saying about restoring the First Flames.

The Three Undead Cinders were Undead of profound strength who each linked the First Flame in times of extreme crisis. They all came to be worshipped as a triumvirate known as the Saints of the Flame.

Sarant, The Wanderer
"I will continue Lord Gwyn's work and banish the dark."

- Sarant, dedicated and loyal.

Sarant was prayed to as a Saint of duty. People turned to him in times of worry, when they needed strength to fulfil a task.

Jeun, The Swordswoman
"Vendrick was right to lament the inescapable nature of our fate, but he was wrong to deny people the chance to live. I link the flame understanding 'tis a shallow choice. But it is the only choice."

- Jeun, steadfast and sceptical.

Jeun was prayed to by those who wished for her steadfast will as they persevered through difficult and trying times.

Eruan, The Mercenary
"The Lords of Cinder have betrayed us, and one again this world is but a fluttering speck of light. What cruel luck I have being thrust into it again."

- Eruan, forlorn and hopeful.

Eruan was rarely prayed to, but his shrines were covered in ash by people hoping his guidance would lead them towards the light during periods of inescapable darkness.

The Fading of the Flame
"Much of my previous life is a blur. A hazy cacophony of noises and indistinct shapes; lacking both colour and tone. I am a shell. Fit only to burn."

- Eruan muses on his existence.

Eruan was a sergeant in a mercenary company hired by the King of Lothric to maintain order in the City as he retreated further into his studies. As people became increasingly panicked about the rise of the Darksign, riots emerged and human effigies were burn upon the great trees that decorated the High Wall in the hope their humanity would kindle the flame further.
