Shiva of the East

Shiva of the East is a member of the Forest Hunter Covenant and is first met by the player near the structure on which Alvina is located in. The player must be a member of the Forest Hunter covenant to ever see him. When speaking to him for the first time, he congratulates you for joining said covenant and clarifies that if the player attacks any member of the covenant he or she will be kicked from the covenant. After this, Shiva and his bodyguard relocate to the swamp of Blighttown (below the wheel elevator) and becomes available as a merchant. He sells rare weapons the player cannot obtain otherwise, except the Uchigatana which the player can gain from killing the male Undead Merchant. He remains here available as a merchant as long as the player is a member of the Forest Hunter covenant.
