Devian follows in the footsteps of a disgraced Prince, entering the bloodsoaked battlegrounds, tainted and scarred. He completes his transformation into that which the Dark Feared, but also realized that even *that* is mythologized. Lord Myu's end was unceremonious, heroic, and one of mutual destruction.
Soon enough, the only one standing in his way, is the Dark Succubus; crowned in stones praising the Darkness and its truth.
But, the Dark Reality of the Throne of Darkness, and the Disgraced Prince that sought the truth, is in the end, as pitiful as one would imagine.
Do you seek the darkness, too?

![Age of Ancients: Shadow Tower: Abyss: Episode 0 (Prologue)
Shadow Tower: Abyss (2003), one of my personal favorites in the FromSoftware canon, has a history about as twisted as the tree-roots jutting up from the ground. The reboot to the Shadow Tower (1999) was announced at the dawn of the Playstation 2 life-cycle and apparently delayed to 2003. Slated to be released by AGETEC it was cancelled last minute by Sony Computer Entertainment America in a move that will be eerily similar to what would be the story to Demons Souls. Unlike Demons Souls, however, Shadow Tower:Abyss remained a curio until a fan-translation made the game playable internationally eight years after its release.
Well go over all of that and more, in preparation for our Lets Play for one of FromSoftwares best from Generation Six.
