* WarIsHell: We actually get see what it was like for the [[EliteMooks Silver Knights]] to face the Everlasting Dragons, and we learn Hawkeye Gough wasn't exaggerating in ''I'' ''at all'' when he said they were utterly terrifying opponents, with scores of Silver Knights being roasted alive by Dragon flame (and it's shown in fully, grisly detail), as they scream out in pure agony.

* WordOfDante: Despite what most people think, the comics have strictly ''unknown'' canonicity, for while Bandai Namco did license all of the comics, FromSoftware (Miyazaki included) has remained silent on the matter. In fact, the examples below ''conflict'' with previous statements by the developers of Dark Souls - as it has been stated multiple times that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are entirely separate works.

** Albeit with the case of Garl, it could just be like what Patches is in relations to both works, a ShoutOut and a RecuringElement. It should also be noted the story, from the start, is presented as a ''legend'' by the narrator, something that might have a grain of truth, but may also be a total lie in the universe, it's impossible to know.

''Dark Souls: The Age of Fire'' is a comic set in the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' universe, written by Ryan O’Sullivan, and illustrated by Anton Kokarev. Unlike previous series outings in the comic genre, who seemingly had almost no connections to the games, ''Age of Fire'' is the complete opposite, being an OriginStory of sorts, detailing the backstories of famous characters form the games, such as Knight Artorias the Abyss Walker, Ornstein the Lion Knight, and even the first Lord of Cinder himself, Gwyn. The comic begins during the final days of the horrific Dragon War during the Age of Fog, and continues on into the dawn of the Age of Fire, when Gwyn ruled from Anor Londo.

** Artorias has ''two'' momments so far, saving Arkon from a dragon and saving the remnants of Gywn's army in New Londo.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Arkon turns out to be the Black Knight encountered in Undead Asylum.]]

* ClassicalAntiHero: Arkon freezes up when a dragon burns his fellow knights to death during the Dragon War and only survives because Artorias kills the beast. His shame at surviving and being credited with Artorias' victory is a defining aspect of his character.

* CanonImmigrant: '''Garl Vinland'' himself from ''Demon Souls'' fame is canonised in the Dark Souls universe as a knight within Gywn's Legion.

* FrontLineGeneral: Gwyn is shown to be leading his Silver Knight Cohorts against the Dragons from the very front.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Issue #2 gives a rather prominent appearance from [[spoiler:Garl Vinland. Given that he was a character in this ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'', this may be a case of the authors not doing their homework.]]
