An infamous line is uttered by Solaire of Astora in Dark Souls 1: "Time is Convoluted", and this has been widly considered to be a lazy hand wave. However I disagree and so in this Dark Souls Lore video we will be examining the concept of time and the fading of the first flame throughout the entire trilogy. We heavily draw on the work of Lokey and his translations in order to mend the discourse on this divisive topic.
