@@DataDrain02 i did some research about her hair right now too. i saw that she had some longer hair sticking out and that those where blonde and i read that when people decompose their hair turn red, which means ranni might actually be blonde instead of having red hair as many present her, which would be kinda wild. does that mean that to be a real empyrean u gotta look like marika? malenia has red hair too but she suffers from the scarlet rot, which might explain that. also if ranni is indeed blonde, is there a chance she is the renalla looking blonde lady from the first shadow of the erdtree trailer? i would assume that might not fit the timeline but this really opens the door to many wacky theories.

Considering the stone-like appearance of her corpse and the fact that some of her fingers, her arm up to the elbow and an entire foot have fallen off/crumbled away completely, I wonder how long Ranni’s been possessing that Doll body. How long has it truly been since the Night of Black Knives?? I’ve always gotten a sense that’s it’s been quite a while between the Night of Black Knives and the Tarnished’s arrival, like, at least a decade or so but it seems that maybe it’s been far, far longer. Also yes, her body’s all burnt up but it also looks like stone. Her corpse has been there so long that it’s become *petrified.* Petrification doesn’t happen overnight..

[@Preston241]

In an interview Martin stated the stuff he wrote took place 5,000 years before the present in universe. So if he was responsible for writing about the Night of the Black Knives (which he may or may not be depending on how you interpret things) then she’s been laying there for longer than the pyramids.

[@immagical7036]

@@Preston241 :O

[@UltraStarWarsFanatic]

The matter of petrification is complicated, because her dad's body is also petrified, and he's still alive. That could just be a consequence of their inhuman physiology, not any real-world chemical process. Frankly, science is altogether inapplicable to the Lands Between, which operates closer to how medieval alchemists believed the world worked. It has absolutely been way, way more than a decade since the Night of the Black Knives. The story trailer said it happened *an age ago.* Characters talk about The Shattering like it's a war they read about in history books, its participants are their mythic heroes. Look at how decrepit the castles are. By the time you arrived, there's already been several generations of *Tarnished* who have arrived, tried, and failed to mend the Elden Ring. Most of them don't even see the guidance of grace anymore. The inhabitants of the Lands Between wander aimlessly; they're immortal, but their wits are long gone. The five thousand years thing probably doesn't apply, though. GRRM wrote the backstory for the entire world. So that five thousand years could literally apply to *any* or *all* of the historical events in the game. Be it the giants, be it the dragons, be it the Eternal Cities. I'd wager its closer to the order of a century or two since The Shattering.

The whites are medium-small spherical. The blacks are medium-small squares. Alberich's gemstones are blood red, but often striated. The gems on Ranni's body's jewelry are... they seem more like a purple-red than straight up red.

Welp yeah Ranni pretty much ending up giving everything to put an end to Marika I would say like a sort of revenge as well for what Marika did to her mother it's pretty evident that Ranni and her mother were really close. literally the tarnished dosen't kill Ranni and her mother we kill every other demigod except for them when we could've killed Rennala but chose not to I guess this is also why Ranni takes the Tarnished in as her consort after everything Ranni only has the Tarnished and Rennala left everyone's pretty much gone

This just all but confirmed an idea I’ve been running with about eyes and sealing them in Elden Ring. One represents the body and another the spirit. We see that Ranni’s spirit half, Melina, Mohg, and Messmer all have their left eyes sealed by one way or another. Ranni and Melina we know to be bodiless, and using the fact that Miquella had to divest himself of his flesh to get to the shadow lands, we can guess that Messmer has to be bodiless as well. Leaves Mohg of whom we don’t know whether they are bodiless or not, although he does materialize from a pool of blood. Even for Demigod powers that is a bit odd. I’ve been trying to look for examples in the opposite direction other than Ranni’s doll for a spiritless body having the right eye sealed. Only other example I found is that in the original story trailer it is Godwyn’s left eye that opens after he dies, and we don’t see his right. This video helps a ton because we can also see here that Ranni has her right eye but not her left, the opposite of what the trailer showed for Godwyn when he died which makes sense since Ranni is a spirit without a body, and Godwyn is a body without a spirit.

[@BLK_MN]

Listen, I don't wanna sound crazy, but here is a connection that's always blown me away, but I don't think anyone else sees it. If you look at Ranni's corpse, then look at her legs, *and then* , if you look at the floating debris from the meteor impact in Limgrave, they look like a similar pattern. Why does the debris float in that particular order? So does Radahn's (Edit: Not so much the pattern, just that his legs are disintegrated). I never thought that the Strongest Demigod would be bothered by some sand grinding his legs away. Why? I suspect it has to do with Fate, and how they're all tied together, with their crumbling legs as a sign.

[@Solibrae]

It's possible that Rennala's children all had some kind of disability relating to their legs and feet, since we never see any of them walk or stand up.

[@VanTesla]

Her body was destroyed in a way where, outside certain things, it's difficult to know 100% what she looked like prior. Besides height, heir color and a bit of her physique. Now I imagine that her bodies state is probably similar to Godwyn Soul state in being barely recognizable/ruined beyond repair. What I mean is a fate worse than true death/ non-existence and something more like a horrible limbo of said non-existence. As to why those who live in death now worship his growing rotten corpse and that we know Godwyn body can react in ways as well dream... Even if in ways not natural to the usual order of things, we see it.

No, not so far. It is likely that Ranni does not have statues and paintings for Orchestrating the complot of the night of the black knives and making a blasphemous act as going against the golden order. It is only known that she had red hair as a result of Radagon's curse. I have a hunch that there will be something of her in the land of shadow.

Ranni was probably very similar to Malenia (without the rot obviously) in looks. Since both are Radagon daughters and Radagon has really strong genes. So Ranni was originally a tall red hair busty woman, thats my guess.
