I thought the kiln of the first flame was underground, since we take stairs down to get to it. Was I wrong?
I'm working on my next dark souls one shot for a TRPG. Up until now, my players have enjoyed discovering or rediscovering Dark Souls lore (I always make sure even people who have never heard of the Dark Souls universe can play my TRPG and understand what's at stake).
Next time, I want the players actions to determine the fate of the world, meaning their quest will be to hold on a siege while the prince of their realm link the fire. My initial idea was that some realm build its cadtle on top of the first flame, and while the players battle outside against an army of Hollow (probably led by Londor, I'm not fully decided yet), the prince will go down to the Kiln and "perform the ritual" (get his sorry ass kicked by the Soul of Cinder) to link the first flame. The players will mostly have to defend the castle, but I'll try to have them finish their quest at the kiln of the first flame (the final boss could make their way to the kiln to try to usurp the flame).
Buuuuut that's because I thought the kiln was underground. I looked at the full map of DS1, and it seems I was completly wrong.
Unless I wasn't?
I know its just a TRPG, but up until now I managed to be lore accurate and I want to remain that way.
Anyone can tell me where exactly the kiln of the first flame is ?
