What is the Dragon's Heritage?

It is a power carried by the Divine Heir that grants immortality but causes Dragonrot in those around the user upon resurrection.

A shinobi known as Sekiro (One-armed Wolf) who is sworn to protect the Divine Heir, Kuro.

Is Sekiro related to Dark Souls?

While developed by the same studio (FromSoftware) and sharing some difficulty and exploration elements, Sekiro features distinct combat mechanics (posture, parrying), no stamina bar, and a more direct storytelling approach.

What is the Mortal Blade?

A special weapon capable of severing the ties of immortality. There are two Mortal Blades: the red 'Gracious Gift of Tears' and the black 'Open Gate'.

Why does Wolf have a prosthetic arm?

Wolf lost his left arm in a duel with Genichiro Ashina. The Sculptor replaced it with the Shinobi Prosthetic, a versatile tool that can be fitted with various gadgets like shurikens and axes.
