Anor Londo
Conceptual interpretation of the buildings at Anor Londo. Gothic architecture has always been a cornerstone of horror stories, and Dark Souls is no different. Ribbed vaults, pointed arches, solemn statues: Gothic buildings have such an intricate pattern of nooks and crannies, it’s no problem to summon what is lurking in its shadows.
Dark Souls is different from most gothic-inspired horror themes however, by relying on actual gothic architecture. The ‘Anor Londo’ print is inspired by the wonderful Il Duomo cathedral in Milan, Italy, a building renowned for its intricacy, detail, and beauty. Players will remember traversing the balustrades - a thing you can’t do in real life, but was added by Dark Souls’ designers as an ‘adventurous’ touch.
Anor Londo plays an important part in the lore of Dark Souls: here, Gwynevere instructs the player to succeed Lord Gwyn.
