Dark Souls Lore to teach in the Classroom? Pls Help!

This may be an odd question, but I thought this sub reddit would be the best place to ask.

I am an English teacher who is trying to come up with more creative activities to teach critical thinking and analysis to high schoolers. I love the dark souls games and I love how much of the story telling is done through the environment, descriptors, and general design. I'd love to be able to teach these skills via dark souls, but I'm not exactly a lore expert.

Would any of you know what would be a few good examples to be able to teach who is related to who, events, and/or general world lore. Ideally the students would not need to know anything too intense about the game (beyond the initial cut scene perhaps). I'd love for it to be a puzzle sorta thing, but I don't know enough to be able to pick out good pieces.

If anyone has any aspects from the game that could be used for something like this I'd love to know! Thank you so much for reading!

Edit: I teach high school students (age 13-18 ish) and class sizes here are about 25-30 students
