Fran Fort, the Watcher of the Abyss—home base of the Fran Undead Team.
The Undead Team, Gollum, Crystal Elder, and other characters jointly cleanse the Abyss here, guarding the Casas Tomb underground.
Gong Qiying chose to start from here, not only because the design of the swamp area was based on that of Fran Fort from the beginning, requiring little change, but also because this plotline can be linked to what is currently shown in the Sain Dungeon.
In the world of Dark Souls, the Fran Undead Team are the inheritors of the will of Abyss Wanderer Artorias. They entered a pact with the Ancient Wolf of Fran, sharing wolf blood, to monitor and exterminate anyone or any city corrupted by the Abyss, even if it means destroying an entire nation.
