After Dark Souls gained popularity for a period, the Lord of Nightmare thought that even though it hadn't healed completely, it had recovered enough to conquer the other worlds.
It dared not wait. There was an increasingly higher number of Ashen Ones entering Dark Souls, so more players were contracting its children.
Accordingly, the harm and degree of pollution its children suffered also became higher.
The number of players in the Watchdogs of Farron Covenant and the Warriors of Sunlight Covenant had broken through 7300. The degree of pollution of its children that represented these two Covenants had also gone over 50%.
They had started to show signs of rampage, so the Lord of Nightmare must do everything, regardless of the price, to end this war before its children completely lost control.
So, when the Lord of Nightmare was ready, it would lead all of its children to attack the world of Dark Side, using Herring as a stepping stone.
