Elden Ring Lore | Queen Marika and the Erdtree

Blaidd and Maliketh are two of the most powerful and compelling characters in the game and yet their nature alludes the normal bounds of life. Join me as we Examine the Shadowbound Beasts of the Empyrean.

Malenia, Blade of Miquella is one of the greatest champions in the history of the Lands Between. Yet despite her courage, Malenia cannot forever resist the power of the Scarlet Rot within her. Join me as we explore the lore of The Scarlet Rot and Malenia, Goddess of Rot.

The influence of the Nox runs deep in the Lands between; they are society of innovators and warriors that built grand cities that rival even Leyndell. Their Eternal Cities were the birthplace of Puppetry, The Dragonkin Soldiers and more. That is not to mention the roles they played in the Godskin hunt and the Night of the Black Knives.

Queen Marika is the singular most important character in the entire game and despite that she remains an enigma. So too is the Erdtree central to the story, and yet it's nature still alludes us, so join me this week as we try to unpack these subjects.Commission Thumbnail art by the incredible ShimhaqMarika Voice Actor - Joyh97

Who is Praetor Rykard? What are the Recusants? Why did he allow himself to be devoured by the Great Serpent? These are all questions that we explore and will be explained in-depth, in this Elden Ring Lore video, as we examine item description, dialogue, and environmental storytelling.

In this episode we discuss the Fire Giants and their war. The War of The Giants is one of the defining events in the history of Elden Ring. The defeat of the Fire Giants and the confinement of the Flame of Ruin marked the start of the Erdtree Era. Yet the Fell God's legacy lives on through the Fire Monks and his Incantations.

The Outer Gods of Elden Ring's Universe are one of the most discussed and debated areas in the lore and for good reason. In this video we look to the original Japanese and the Japanese Lore Community to help us full understand what these nebulous beings are meant to convey and their relationship to the concept of Kami.Thumbnail art commission by Shimhaq

The Golden Order is the most dominant philosophy in the Lands Between, yet it rests upon crumbling foundations. Goldmask, the most loyal to its ideals labours to uncover the truth of its failings and remake it to bring forth the Age of Perfect Order.

What is the Primeval Current? How does Glintstone connect to the Stars? Why is Sellen called the Graven Witch? What is fate? These are all questions that we explore and will be explained in-depth, in this Elden Ring Lore podcast, as we examine item description, dialogue, and environmental storytelling.

Before the Erdtree there were the Dragons, the masters of primordial life and ruled by their Elden Lord Placidusax. They carved out an incredible legacy, alongside their Bestmen allies and even today there are those who try to reclaim their glory through the Dragon Cult and Dragon Communion. Join me this week as we do an expansive exploration of their reign from the Prehistoric times to their influence on the current era.Thumbnail Commission by Shimhaq
