Story of the expansion
The University of Burgenwert occupies a special place in the world of Bloodborne. It is here that Master Willem and his followers studied the nature of blood and sought to approach the truth hidden beyond human perception. Their research led to discoveries that changed the fate of Yharnam, but the price of this knowledge proved catastrophic.
