NIHIL!! Edit(3/26): Clarifications on the video. Thanks to everyone who pointed out certain ideas and confusing bits in the video: First, the origin of the omens with the Loathsome Dung Eater, this at best is a theory and I'll be honest a pretty weak theory from me, I included it because there really just isn't that much solid written down in-game information about how the first Omens came to be. The only ones I could find were all the Omen related stuff with Dung Eater (Seedbed Curse/His Armor/His Dialogue) he also states that he has killed thousands, so he's been at this for a while. Second, the opening cinematic where Morgott was fighting what looked like a soldier in Radahn's armor. I believe that this is simply a champion of Radahn or something similar. I didn't feel the need to hyper focus on that because that's the only scene we have of that moment and there's no item descriptions that talk about that. So I left it at "He killed countless champions". oh and 1 last thing, the Dung Eater is NOT an anti-hero, he's twisted beyond sanity. But hey as you can see in my profile picture, I have horns too, maybe I'm an Omen~~~ Thank you!

I agree, Morgott and Radahn were worthy of their titles till the end. It sounds pathetic but I teared up a little when I reads Morgott’s rune, despite his ill treatment he still was a truer lord than most. Using hatred to push himself to greater heights rather then just taking it out on others like Mohg. Not that I don’t like Mohg though “lord of blood” is a badass title to have.

[@picklefathernurgle2719]

If you read a bunch of the incantation descriptions along with the weird tumor thing you can get from the Albinauric village you're given a pretty clear picture of what Omens are. They're people blessed by the primordial source of the Erdtree's power. The "Primordial Crucible" which is basically pure chaotic life energy. The horns grow on them like tumors, and beings touched by the crucible grow weird mouthy tails like the one Margit has, or the ones the Crucible Knights copy when they do the tail spin miracle attack at you. The descriptions also say that in the past, when the Erdtree was recently discovered, people marked with these growths, horns and tumors were considered blessed by the Erdtree. They were seen as marked by the power of life itself, but over time, as civilization took hold and people began to abandon the old, shamanistic worship of the Erdtree in favor of an organized religion, marks of chaos became stigmatized and hated by the people of the Lands Between. As a result they started killing, hunting or otherwise shunning and hiding these people away. Again, wanna say that this isn't a theory I made up, but is actually what you can find in item descriptions for the game. In the past the people of the Lands Between were in touch with chaos and raw life energy but over time became more organized and started shunning people who bore the "blessings" of their old faith. Kind of sucks honestly. If Margit/Morgott and Mohg had been born hundreds of years ago they'd basically all have been treated like Prophets or Saints.

[@blebonick7088]

super interesting stuff, ty

[@Tainuo]

This is spot on, I have been spreading the same information whenever I see lore speculation on The Crucible or Omen not making the connection. The Crucible talismans mention that aspects of The Crucible showing up are a sign of "devolution" and the Misbegotten have been enslaved for somehow making contact with The Crucible and gaining some of its aspects. The Omen are a sign that the Erdtree is making mistakes in the eyes of the nobility, for even children of the Eternal Queen can be "cursed" with these aspects from birth. The Crucible being life in its primordial form is most likely the oldest form of life we know, Ancient Dragons. Scales, horns, tails, wings, fire breath. I also speculate that Beasts are primordial life as well, the Misbegotten sure do seem incredibly beastial..

"Please, don't hate me, or curse me. Please" GOD I NEVER FELT SO SAD FROM A ITEM DESCRIPTION SINCE LUCATIEL

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

Actually I feel like Morgott has been released from the sewers WAY before the Shattering. We know that Godfrey cared about him so he had to be out of there at the time when Godfrey was still waging war against the Giants since the moment he won was the moment he was banished. He also created Sentry Torches after Godwyn's death at the hands of Black Knives and gave them to the forces of Leyndell which shows that he was at that point already at a pretty high level of power. Mogh on the other hand was kept in the sewers to guard the Three Fingers most likely. I also have a theory that Morgott in fact really cared about Godwyn and Godwyn about him. Godwyn was described as someone who was ready to befriend dragons who were enemies of Erd Tree at the time so it's not that much of a stretch to think that he didn't care about Morgott's curse either and truly loved him as a brother. And then he was killed and his death had quite an impact on Morgott who then made torches that were meant to reveal assassins who killed him. It's also possible that Rykard took the blame for Godwyn's death as a part of the deal with Ranni for Blasphemous Claw and because of that Morgott launched an attack on him, this was Rykard's Blasphemy and this is why he mentions Rykard with more spiteful tone than the other Demigods. He thinks he killed his only family member that loved him. Really depressing.

[@AlbertusSalvatierra]

I think Miquella cared for his brother to a degree. In the description of a large golden sword, it says that a young boy made a prayer hoping that his brother, Godwyn, may die a true death. The only “young boy” sibling at the time of his death would’ve had to been Miquella.

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

@@AlbertusSalvatierra Godwyn seemed to be liked by everyone really. Also I had a cute idea that Miquella started going around Lands Between as Saint Trina because Morgott has his own secret identity as Margit and Miquella thought that he is really cool. I know it probably wasn't it, but good lord would that be wholesome.

[@AlbertusSalvatierra]

@@AzraelSoulHunter Lol. Yeah, it kinda sounds like fan fiction tbh but it’s a cute idea nonetheless.

[@AzraelSoulHunter]

@@AlbertusSalvatierra I mean a wholesome fanfic set in times of the Erdtree where Demigods are up to their own shenanigans seems like a pretty fun idea. Of course sometimes with darker moments like Ranni planning death of Godwyn and Malenia corrupting Haligtree which I believe happened BEFORE she fought against Radahn and that is when Miquella created the Golden Needle which Malenia later broke in her fight against Radahn and caused second blooming.

That was only an illusion, it's not actually Mohg. You can tell because it doesn't bleed, frostbite, get poisoned, etc. Maybe it was Mohg who made the illusion, though it'd make more sense if it was Morgott who did so. Morgott has every reason to block the entrance to the Three Fingers, Mohg doesn't.

[@Ardiar21]

@@Nezxmi It could be that Mohg made that illusion in order to trick people into believing that he's still down there, imprisoned/or guarding his post as most omens should be. Either that or maybe he still somewhat has a sense of duty, since I'm not sure if it's been stated if he has any disdain to the golden lineage, especially since his twin brother's territory is just above the sewers.

[@Nezxmi]

@@Ardiar21 If we look at the greater context I think Mohg does have disdain for the Golden Order, though maybe not it’s lineage. Mohg worships the Formless Mother, a separate Outer God from the Greater Will. He also wishes to become consort to Miquella, another person who wishes to replace the Golden Order. So it wouldn’t make much sense for him to protect the Golden Order, indirectly or otherwise. I figure it’s gotta be Morgott creating the illusion as he cares about the Golden Order more than any other Demi-God and is the only one who would know of Mohg anyway.

I wanna seem em do more, they’re interactions, previous lives, hopefully DLC gives us more insight. Morgott is very interesting to me. And he kinda reminds me of Gwyndolin, a neglected and mistreated son simply because of the nature of his birth, who wanted to be loved and accepted and despite the wrongdoings they endured, fought tooth and nail to uphold the order of their parents. Seeing himself as a failure, never forgiving himself for something beyond his control, yet honestly and truly serving as a great and valiant defender of his home and bloodline, who just couldn’t see past the circumstances of his birth.

Elden Ring seems a little bit more black and white, a bit less steeped in metaphor and allegory, it feels a bit more traditionally lore-y.

Grim: it might be not Mogh fault that his dynasty is devoid of champions. The cursed blood those champions received may have turned them into blood thirsty invaders. Me who have been invaded by four River of bloods invader today: yep, that is accurate.

[@deimosvalentine]

Rather than having his cursed name tied with the Erdtree, Capital, and the throne, I believe Morgott had wanted to keep a low profile when he wasn't actively governing the Leyndell Capital, which is why he subtly changed his name to Margit. This can be evident from Gideon Ofnir's dialogue when giving information about Morgott. He refers to Morgott as Lord of Leyndell, meaning that it may be widely known that whoever has control of the Capital is someone named Morgott. Gideon also states that "The Veiled Monarch can wait" meaning that nobody knows who Morgott is or what they look like. Though you could still definitely be right about Morgott not wanting his Omen cursed name publicly associated with the Capital. Morgott is a high profile name, meaning that he could potentially be hunted down by any Tarnished or even by the other shardbearers. Margit though, is an unknown name. Name of an Omen, and one of a championed warrior who is at Stormveil Castle guarding the weakest shardbearer, Godrick the Grafted.

[@gentlehoovy5555]

The OST for the sewer mohg boss fight is called “omen illusion”, which confirms your theory. It seems a lot of characters are able to create illusions of themselves in other places. I think margit has done that multiple times, and we know for certain both the dung eater and Sellen have done it. I’m still wondering why mohg wants to protect the flame of frenzy. Is the outer god of frenzy linked to the formless mother? Or is the flame of frenzy so dangerous that even mohg is worried about it?

[@brentgarrison6245]

The Frenzied Flame is effectively anti-life. All it wants is to destroy everything. All life, the world itself. Anybody who has a dream for the future that isn't just empty, barren flame has incentive to keep people away from the Three Fingers and the Frenzied Flame. Given that he grew up in those sewers, and would likely be aware of the Three Fingers, and given that Mohg has dreams of a royal dynasty, I think it makes sense that he would try to stop you from unleashing the end of the world.

[@yusei998]

Man I always knew this guy Varre was just trying to get me into a pyramid scheme

[@Joseph-vc7uk]

I got a theory on what omens might be; since omens are born at random, it's possible that the souls of beings who were cursed during their previous lives ended up possessing the bodies of fetuses before the greater will granted them a soul. (since the dung eater says that cursing and defiling his victims prevents their souls from being "returned" to the erdtree). to further extrapolate on that, it could also be that tarnished are those borne without receiving their soul from the greater will, as well as those who fall out of favor with the erdtree like we see with Godfrey.

[@thehorrorist3471]

It didn't dawn on me till watching this how differently the characters speak from each other. The demigods speak in achaic english, while the tarnished speak in modern english. Varre speaks fairly plainly, while Ranni talks like a character from a 60's Thor comic. I wonder if its more complex than that. I have to start paying attention to who speaks in what way going forward.

i love how these teo are polar opposites of response to trauma/oppression. Morgott falls into the ideas pushed on him, learning to hate himself more and more, dedicating himself fully to his oppressors. Mohg refuses to hate himself, to hide himself away. Instead he draws power from what supposedly curses him, carving a new life were his imperfections are sacred. A real shame about the blood murder cult.

[@Gattsu95]

Dude the way you ended the video with the line “if everyone is an omen then no one will be” gave me chills! Amazing story telling! I think the dung eater isn’t doing it in a place of making everyone the same to make sure the omens aren’t outcasts though I think he wants everybody to share in the suffering he does.

[@Malphasism]

The Dung Eater's role in relation to the Omen is confusing and debatable. The indication of having "the soul of an Omen without the body to match" wouldn't make a lot of sense if he predated and was the sole source of their origin, and if Godfrey recognizes Morgott personally, it's likely Morgott would have been born before the Tarnished were cast out, and be older than the Dung Eater.

[@beniron5807]

The Omens blood negatively effects the Erdtrees. The jars collect bodies (and souls probably) to dump at the roots of the trees to feed the trees. So Omen can not be used as fertilizer like everyone else. So likely what that line means is that the Dung Eater's very existence is to bring down the trees and the order with them. Even if his body is not the poison to the trees that true Omen are. That's why he curse people with Omen blood so more Omen are born. His realization is him sacrificing himself to bring down the entire order and the weird ass alien celestial farm they got going on. Marika's family is nothing but super powerful farmers given power to keep order while the alien celestial god drains the planet of it's life source. That's my theory anyway. The Craziest dude is actually the only one who understands the truth and wants to protect the world.

It is a different fire from any other in the game, it's not frenzied flame, nor giants flame, nor black flame. But it seems to come naturally to them as Morgott uses it with the blade made from his blood and the Omens can belch it from their mouths, it's a black and yellow flame, the Dung eater also uses it, is there any explanation to what it is?

[@Ardiar21]

The flames that they have looks very similar to the death status effect, things like the eclipse shotel weapon art or the death lighting incantation. Major difference is that omen fire doesn't actually afflict death, despite looking similar.

[@captaindonut5240]

I thought it was holy damage, maybe tainted. But it does have the same colours as the death blight

[@lol-ye5lg]

Have you seen the final boss and it's holy flame? This is likely a twisted cursed version of that, as it still deals holy damage.

[@johnthebaptist9828]

What a coincidence, just saw the poll you made a few days ago asking what character we wanted you to cover, and after voting for the blood lord I scroll down and see this very video.

[@WarNumen]

keep up the vids dude! really enjoying the lore of Elden Ring.

[@jonathanjarvis1878]

love your work on Elden Ring man! Could you consider doing one on Crumbling Farum Azulas history

[@eliaselias4647]

Just found your channel and your lore videos are amazing. Very easy to understand. Kudos

[@wesleyglenn9794]

You're making some good stuff here my guy, keep it up!

[@m1lkl1zard8]

I can not tell you how much I appreciate you making lore videos for this game. I love this game. Truly. Best money I've spent on a game since I bought the first the last of us. But I hardly understand any story.

[@fishnutz5196]

I actually love Morgotts character and in a way i feel bad for him. The dude is just loyal to his mother. This also explains why every damn invader i get is an arcane build lol

[@Badlands_Joker]

Holy shit I was just thinking about if you were gonna make this video or not. Good shit!!

[@amorimjt]

The Genshin videos were already impressive… but the Elden one’s are bringing your talents to a whole other level!!! I want more

[@MultiQwasar]

Amazing video as always Cant wait for more

[@edohanma]

You're making the best lore videos for this game

[@parkeryoung8259]

Also, the albinaurics at the moghwyn palace, probably because the persecution they receive everywhere else. You see a bunch of albinaurics kneeling before a bloodnoble. And the ones that aren't infected by the blood yet, at the palace approach cliffs site of grace, thet seem lethargic, and in despair

[@carrier2823]

I didn’t know any of the lore when I saw the mohg fight, but holy shit I was so hyped to find out what the deal with that badass boss fight. I am not disappointed

[@chadjustus4343]

you have amazing content, plz keep it up on eldenring. ive learned so much from your videos for lore.

[@MyRYNOrunsHot]

Haven't actually seen any other lore/theories that draw a connection between the Omens and the Dung Eater's ending. Very interesting stuff.

[@Shadow60215]

Great video, actually feel sorry for the Omens and sheds a sort of positive twist to the dung eater's ending. The Omens were treated unjustly under the golden order, this ending at least allows them to be equal. #JusticeForOmens

[@elisetanner1012]

FANTASTIC video. Thank you!

[@Terjil]

You´re doing an amazing job! Keep going!

[@splinter360]

I find the ones that are sleeping, clearly laughing in their dreams quite sweet. They've had such cursed lives that it nice seeing them happy. Even if its only in their dreams. Which in turn is pretty sad.

[@jereeskola7117]

Loving the demigod lore videos!!!

[@nadifenggar943]

Morgott treating the other demigods as traitor & pillager while his own brother is scheming something more sinister.

[@hachikuji_mayoi]

I don't think he even knows about it. Even gideon didn't know about miquella and mohg.

[@HerMi.T]

He probably don't even know.

[@raziel6304]

Morgott rejects Mohg aswell, out of all of Marika's children he is by far the most loyal.

[@emetanti]

He probably doesnt count Mohg as a traitor because traitor would imply he ever was on their side to begin with.

[@Xfushion2]

My take is that he hates his brother just like he hates himself from being an omen. He doesn't mentioning Mogh in Lyndell is likely because of two reasons: 1. He only mentions the demigods that had a throne within Lyndell which Mogh doesn't has. 2. Just like any Golden order fanatic he pretends omens don't exists and intentionally casts his brother aside and isn't even aware of his actions.

[@jayju3740]

I'm a sucker for lore especially for Dark souls , Bloodborne type stuff ... Lol I was looking for the lore behind Godwyn and I found this page , just subscribed I think I'll enjoy it here ... Keep it up

[@lisavanleeuwe7639]

I love these videos. Thank you!!

[@LFiles48]

Everything in this game is so unbelievably tragic. I love it.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Thanks GRR Martin I hate it

[@abreu7756]

yaaaas more lore, thank you!!

[@lolmikuq8750]

Tank you arlun!! Cool video and good content

[@alaskaaa684]

Your videos are amazing!!

[@rikelizki1965]

Wow great video man 🤯

[@umukzusgelos4834]

this video makes the dung eater come over as strangely compassionate for some reason

[@pilot3605]

I like how Mohg looks like a laughable caricature while Morgott is a lot more dignified.......it makes sense too, he's Grace Given after all

[@jakemcmain8486]

Great vid!! Please do the frenzied flame next

[@RadiantRemnant]

Awesome video! I'm still trying to figure out who Morgott was fighting in the opening cinematic. That red hair is peculiar.

[@eremundead6321]

the gloves look like they belong to radahn. though, i cant really see radahn losing to morgott

[@autisticturtle1849]

@@eremundead6321 I mean that image could just be morgott knocking radahn down, if that is radahn I imagine he would get up pretty easily after that

[@sauvillers2124]

Very good video man

[@pondrthis1]

Why is Morgott titled "The Grace Given?" This seems pretty important to cover. The game repeatedly says that Omens are denied Grace. If we interpret "Grace Given" to mean that he *was* granted Grace despite being an Omen, then we might be led to believe that Morgott's choice to defend the Erdtree was guided by Grace. But this opens up a HUGE can of worms. If Grace leads us to subjugate Marika and Radagon and become Elden Lord, why would Grace lead Morgott to defend the Erdtree and, importantly, to declare the other demigods as traitors? I suppose we can see it as the Greater Will pushing all great rune holders to fight for supremacy, but I don't know why he would then hold such disdain for the other demigods. One possible answer for which there's no evidence: the Greater Will, unable to directly guide the mind of Morgott due to his Omen curse, used his love for Marika and the Erdtree to manipulate the king into joining the War of the Shattering. But then, this still wouldn't warrant the title "Grace Given"--unless it's meant as a mockery, which would be truly sad for such a noble man. EDIT: Another possibility is that he's meant to be the "Grace-Given," with a hyphen. Meaning someone placed in the Lands Between by direct intervention of the Greater Will... which means Omenhood is from that particular Outer God.

[@darealdovahkiin3652]

Great video!

[@AscendantStoic]

Well done analysis, but you should do a 2nd part about the Omenkillers and evil perfumers working with them who hunt down Omens and kill them, who is behind them and why are they everywhere even in the capital itself, I have a theory that they are working for Ofnir but I haven't looked into it enough yet, this is just an impression I had from the quests I finished in my first playthrough.

[@MichaelKnights]

great vid...what your armor you are using in this vid

[@TV93412nc]

The whole twins theme is super predominant in the story wouldn't be surprised all of the characters are really just 3 entities or something like the 3 runes of the elden ring

[@ghakal007]

thanks g i always wanted to know the lore behind the dung eater ..didnt found much in his armor set and sword

[@ArturVeralius]

Based on the one fellow in the field becoming Margit, I felt that both of the twins had a means to project through minions. Effectively making lesser, cloned versions of themselves that they could send out. Hence the weaker forms encountered outside of their respective homes.

[@youngjut3]

This is my favorite game since the Witcher 3.. and with dlc coming out for this game and the amounts of hidden secrets.. your page could become lit off just this game alone

[@jaredcompton7747]

It's interesting what you say about the incarnation of Mohg below the capital being an illusion meant to guard against the frenzied flame. On my second playthrough I beat Morgott at the base of the erdtree, where he dies and sheds his omen curse, before battling him near the wall. That would lead me to believe that the latter isn't really Morgott either. He appears there in the same way that a slave in Limgrave turns into a giant bear. Idk what that's all about, but maybe there's something to it.

[@2angetsu664]

Fascinating! Morgott is my favorite character in the game and I even use his weapon in honor of him. Such a cool boss.

[@danejr9785]

That syndrome quote was magnificent

[@maloniheimuli54]

A blessing can be a curse, a curse can be a blessing. Keep the little things in mind

[@masterstubbs8960]

Sick incredibles reference at the end

[@carpetlayenful]

The quest for the elden ring is to retrace the march to defend the golden order. Following the markers and begin the complete the oldest cycle. Your union into the eldest family, creating another branch in the family tree

[@D3adMoros3]

Praised be the Mohgwyn dynasty! On the more serious note, I have a theory on what is the source of the Omen curse. While items directly connected to them do not say anything on the matter, the concept of people being persecuted and hounded for various “defects” is described in the Scale, Feather and Knot Crucible Talismans. Said Crucible is described in the Crucible Tree and Axe sets as the “primordial form of the Erdtree” and, apparently, source of all life. Maybe the omen curse is the remnant of it, like the budding horn and the old fang are described to be?

[@XXLDistortsion]

good point, morgott and margitt even share the same tail as the crucible knights holy attack swing.

[@sasakikojiro5538]

Poor morgott, despite the treatment he still protect his mother throne and never claimed it.

[@serdownofhousebad1127]

Is that 'cursed at birth with horns" a reference to Ico and Shadow? They're rather similar and I wouldn't be surprised if fromsoftware was inspired in some sense, same with the walking mausoleums

[@rokstar2001]

With the way miqullas hand is laying out of that cocoon, it makes me feel that it might be how we enter a DLC later on.

[@lunardumpling1872]

I hope for the dlc they do something like with ds1’s where we get to go back and time and see what it was like before the shattering of the elden ring. Maybe give us some insight to the demigods as a whole and how the golden lineage came to fall

[@lulzIridetheshortbus]

Bro, for someone whose first language isn’t English, your pronunciation is phenomenal and you command the language better than most native speakers. Kudos, man. You should be an English teacher if you’re not.

[@TheAlbumsThatMadeMe]

I like the visual differences too, Morgott actively shaved and cut some of his horns, maybe to look more godly or like his siblings - while Mohg just goes full demonic with his horns, almost proud of his omen-ness

[@lordsoth0374]

The crucible knot talisman tells something about people who had primordials traits. They were first seen as divine creature and then as impure, so that maybe what omens are, creature with traits that resemble the crucible.

[@CarlosMoreno-id8gi]

Whats the armor your wearing?

[@mightquinnable]

That’s dope, this game is dope. I was so confused on what fell omen was the first time I had the fight with margit. So it is true that they are apart of the golden lineage. Mogh is crazy too, he is the from soft boss that is cause shit in the background.

[@Lun33dge]

am glad i found you channel. earn my sub :}

Hey, just wondering. What's that greatsword that you're using in this video? Looks like it has a unique moveset.
