Those Who Live in Death
'Sword forged by compounding silver and gold. A sacred weapon to hunt Those Who Live in Death. Deals holy damage. The inseparable twins found solace in the Golden Order, the only institution not to revile Those Who Live in Death.' When the Black Knives of Ranni's conspiracy struck Godwyn the Golden, the fragment of Death they bore did not finish the work. Godwyn's body died and was entombed beneath the Erdtree at the Deeproot Depths. His soul did not. Without escape, his death began to grow into the Erdtree itself, and slowly leaked back upward as a corruption, Deathroot, the gnarled black bark fed by the Prince of Death's ongoing un-departing. Where Deathroot touches the surface, the dead rise without minds : Those Who Live in Death.
'One of the incantations of the Golden Order fundamentalists. Used by hunters of Those Who Live in Death. Enchants armament held in the right hand with holy-affinity attacks. This incantation is especially effective at felling Those Who Live in Death.' Marika sealed the Rune of Death inside her shadow Maliketh ; the canon's calamity is that she should never have. The Greater Will banished Death from the Order, and Death, a fundamental thing, found another way back into the world through Godwyn's unfinished death. Fia the Deathbed Companion, the Two Fingers' interpreter Enia, and Goldmask all dispute what to do : Fia would mend the Order with Death restored ; Goldmask would purge it. The Tarnished's choice in the endgame is which of these to make irrevocable.
