11 Old-Timey Words Dark Souls Taught Us

The Shrine Handmaid can be found in the Firelink Shrine in Dark Souls 3. This is where you will also hear the word japery used. After giving the Shrine Handmaid the Dreamchaser’s Ashes, she will begin to talk to you. If you choose to say nothing she will say the following:

“As the Ashen One ought to be.

Japery comes from the word jape, which means to jest, joke, jibe. The origins of jape can be traced all the way back to the 1300’s.
