The enemies at 5:04 seem to be using Barbaric Roar and the quake stomp Godfrey and the Crucible Knights use. They also have a very Dane-inspired armor set, which leads me to believe that these guys might be barbarians from the Badlands or they were extras from Godfrey’s army that stayed behind.

I have a theory about Marika’s children. As we know all the children share some part of their parents name (Godfrey and Godwin, Marika and Miquella, Renala and Ranni). However, Morgott and Mohg do not share the prefix of “God” like their brother Godwin. Instead they share the “M” associated with the children of Radagon and Marika. I believe that The Omen twins are not Godfrey’s kids, but that he took them in knowingly or unknowingly because we know he had some sort of relationship with Morgott. Whenever Marika and Radagon have children they are born with a curse or some affliction. To take this even further I would like to look at Melina and Mesmer. Their characters both revolve around flame. Mesmer’s Flame and Melina being the kindling maiden could be a coincidence, but I don’t believe that. It would make at least some sense if Melina and Mesmer were twins as well because they both have to do with fire, and they share the “M” of the children of Marika and Radagon. So to summarize, I believe that Marika and Radagon were always one being and they first gave birth to Mesmer and Melina. Then after Marika married Godfrey and had Godwin she gave birth to Morgott and Mohg, but they weren’t her kids, they were Radagon’s. And then finally Marika gave birth to Miquella and Melania.

[@quinno.9253]

Simplest answer is that they took the M from Marika, no need to complicate it. One interesting thought is that Godfrey and the rest with the “god-” name took that name purposefully to liken themselves to gods, but Mohg and Morgott were locked away so they didn’t need to be named that way. Maybe Marika specifically didn’t want them to have the respect that came with the name because they could become a rallying symbol for her enemies, so she broke the “god-“ naming convention.

[@nocaptcha8110]

Not a bad theory at all, we'll see in 2 weeks

[@dantoki6371]

Morgott's rune states that he was born of the the Golden Linaege wich makes him a child/descendant of Godfrey and Marika.

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen4737]

[@TheHi-NoteFunClub-BeatsByMike]

Stream of consciousness: - The Tarnished are warriors who return to the lands between after dying in a far away land by Marika's decree. - First NPC dialouge suggests Tarnished were originally sent to the land of shadow to assist Messmer in burning and subjugation. - After serving that purpose, complete upon their death in the land of shadow, they return to the lands between, find Marika to be missing/no longer Queen/God, go about their business, basically main game. - Shadow of the Erd Tree is the part of the story where you can chooose whether or not to assist Miquella in his goal of "righting the wrongs" of the shadow lands/transition of ages of empires - possibly as a way to redeem Marika - but certainly as a method by which to assure YOUR role as Elden lord and/or ensure civilization as a whole survives (whether that be under your belief in the archaic ways of calling YOURSELF a God to keep the people in line, or, remove the concept of outer Gods, progress under the principle of "the will of people is all there is - leave God be - and the nature of civilization will continue based on the will of whichever leader the people put their trust/their own will into following).
