Seeking the Erd Tree, Slaying the beasts, its all just an excuse for blood" The Merchant contorts his neck to the side, in a broken orchestra of cracking bone, beginning to stand, revealing that he, in fact, bears a prosthetic leg. His frame is wirey but still baring a sense of honed muscle, while frail and old, he shows athleticism as he strides to his cart with unnatural energy as if the flesh was much older than the soul. He begins to shed his threads, his coloured poncho now replaced by an oversized trenchcoat and adorned with a top hat. "No matter, your lot always seem to make a right old mess that always comes down to me" The Merchant reaches into his cart, strapping a beautifully crafted, albeit archaic, large black powder pistol to his hip, marked several times, a tally, as if he kept score of moments like this. He reaches in once a again with a snap of metal, and clash of bone, a horrid mechanism unfurls into a large, crude scythe.

[@Buff-Wings]

I’m so ready for the whole Dark Souls / Bloodborne / Elden Ring universe to all get tied together lore wise. Marvelous Chester in the original Dark Souls has had me thinking about the timeline for over a decade now lol

[@crackededge9351]

Chester has too many Souls fans lost in head canon, there’s not enough evidence to tie every single souls verse together, considering that the lore of Dark Souls contradicts every other souls universe. It’s possible Elden Ring and Sekiro share the same verse (land of reeds armor) but to say every single souls game takes place in a shared universe contradicts numerous established lores. I think it’s plausible for all souls games to share the same Multiverse, but that’s a different theory from what you’ve brought up.

[@Buff-Wings]

@@crackededge9351 I still think it’s entirely possible, I don’t think there’s anything in the Souls cannon that explicitly denies it being tied to Bloodborne or Elden Ring. I’m just talking about recurring themes being explained more deeply, like the trees you see in Ash Lake/Hunters Dream/inside the Erdtree. I would doubt Sekiro though, since that’s just straight up Japan and it has a lot fewer recurring themes of the other games.

[@ihatehandleupdate]

@@Buff-Wings Yeah, there are a lot of bigger connections in these games. I feel like FromSoft is preparing for something. Or just messing with the fans over and over again.

[@Buff-Wings]

@@ihatehandleupdate I really hope they’re preparing for something. They’re constantly teasing us towards some kind of continuity with characters like patches and the birds nests. I think a perfect scenario to me would be a Miquella DLC for Elden Ring where you enter their dream/nightmare like you would in Bloodborne, and we find out the great ones and the outer gods are basically one in the same.

[@thesaltbucket324]

These games only feel connected because of the development of the games, reusing assets and having armor from a certain area doesn't somehow automatically mean that every single game is connected, literally all of these theories use the logic of "blue bitch+moon=bloodborne" fucking stupid..

Ay listen...Im really bad at lore and i know there are plot holes to this theory but i just wanna share. Ranni hated the order right? So the Shards would be abandoned by her. And her hole facade is the moon? She also wants to transend into a higher state of being. so what if after the stars ending she became he moon presence and the forgotten shards became the runes of bloodborne? And what if yarnam before was just the rebuilt or some crap of nekron rebuilt or raya lucaria expanded? And prehaphs the blood that maniacly turned people was the formless mothers doing?

[@ValbrandrLeonhardt]

I think the issue with that is Bloodborne and Elden Ring take place in different worlds. The Moon Presence could be an Outer God for sure though. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was similar to the Dark Moon that Ranni follows. As for the blood. The blood of Kos is what started the nightmare. Then it was the blood of Ebrietas. The literal blood of elder God's had immense healing capabilities, but over time is drove people insane and warped their bodies. As for shards, I'm guessing you're talking the shards of the Elden Ring, which became the Great Runes. Ranni didn't have one. She didn't fight for the scraps like her siblings. The shattering happened after the Night of Black Knives, Ranni's body died that night too. Plus she was too busy searching for the way into Nokron so she could obtain the means to free herself from the Greater Will
