Lore
"The Undead Legion of Farron is a caravan of Undead.
Sworn by the wolf's blood to contain the Abyss, the Legion will bury a kingdom at the first sign of exposure."
— Hawkwood the Deserter on the Abyss Watchers
The blood was spread amongst the Abyss Watchers, and their souls are one with the soul of the wolf blood master.
— Description of the Soul of the Blood of the Wolf
These undead warriors vowed to partake of wolf blood. They acted in the dark, seeking out any sign of the Abyss, fighting a constant war with its abominations.
