It actually makes perfect sense that trolls were respected carian knights: the first members of the noble carian family were astrolgers who studied the stars on the snowy mountaintops of the Lands Between, and they considered fire giants their neighbors before they were exterminated in the war against Marika and Godfrey, as said in the sword of night and flame. Trolls are descendents of the fire giants so it makes sense that they have a close bond with the descendents of the astrologers, and when she was young Rennala was an astrologer herself and studied on the mountaintops, where she probably met the trolls that would later become her knights

[@kingofcrows8700]

I never thought about that but that's really interesting

[@mauz791]

I believe the Carian Knights fought on two fronts in the Shattering; against the Golden Order and Academy's Cuckoo Knights. If true, only 20 of them fought off 2 armies, absolute legends.

[@zenebean]

The Carian Knights have to be my favorite group, I love both the archetype of magic knights and orders that have several different species as members. And nothing beats the surprise of a dragon pulling out a giant ice sword the first time. Ranni probably didn't mind most of the knights leaving since they don't really fit her style of doing things. Outside of guards for her and her mother, Blaidd was the only fighting agent (along with the tarnished later) that she needed since she was mostly about stealthy power plays. Many of the knights may have decided to follow Loretta to find somewhere with a cause they could better serve. If the Carian Knights have one disappointment for me, though, it has to be the troll knight sword. I just wish it had a different ash of war that made it feel more like a magic catalyst.

[@maxreef7698]

I have no idea how it didn’t occur to me that in phase 2 rennala fight, all the spirit summons are characters/enemies you see along the quest line. There’s the Darriwil the bloodhound knight that blaidd has some history with, the wolves outside ranni’s rise, Adula, and a troll. Most (if not all) are summoned by their oaths they made to the family. This implies that the oath has some sort of magic binding that tethers your spirit to the spirit of the recipient of the oath, since phase 2 of the fight seems to take place in some sort of spirit realm.

[@Lazymindflayerwithcofffee]

I asume given that elden ring has a lot of ,after-death, variants oath is something that binds your soul to a person for service like an ancor for afterlife

[@SabreArchon]

If you’re talking about the Rennala Fight, that was an illusion created by Ranni

It still amazes me that a dragon has been made in to knight.🐱

[@ticktockvaudevillian2211]

It’s honestly really cool. The only other fantasy series I’ve heard of such a concept was the Elder Scrolls series. Tiber Septim, founder of the Third Empire of Tamriel, had a dragon named Nahfahlaar/Nafaalilargus serving as a legionnaire and loyal vassal to him. It’s always a cool concept, imo.

[@thomashooper2451]

I never thought of Adulla as a Carian Knight, but more of an associate who also happens to serve the royal family. Closer to Blaidd in function than Moongrum. But it is an interesting idea, and there is some precedent for it with Godwyn's dragon bromance.

[@square-table-gaming]

The knightly oath and her essentially creating her own version of the carian Greatsword clinched it for us.

[@zenebean]

@@square-table-gaming I agree since the Carian Knights' primary role was serving the princesses, so I would still count Adula even if she was not much involved with the other knights

[@Umbra_Ursus]

The carian knight build was probably popular because it was pretty quick to get: Most of the parts are just up for grab, and Moongrum guards the only piece I recall needing to fight for.

[@Battleguild]

Such a missed opportunity to have Covenants in Elden Ring. Having Covenants replace the standard Rune Arc rewards with another rare consumable(s). Examples: Carian Knights - Starlight Shards Perfumers - Rare Perfume Materials

[@Eric188092]

Interesting, Im surprised that Iiji was not counted among the honorable mention troll carian knights. While labelled as a blacksmith and wielding a hammer over a sword, he served Ranni on a station not too different to the formal troll knights, trying to protect her even against her shadow Blaidd.

[@square-table-gaming]

Iji held a much higher position. As war counsel he was likely never a knight himself.

[@logeyperogi1805]

Iji was a war counsellor for the family, and a dear friend to both Ranni and Blaidd

[@meloneatingwolf1882]

I think that when the crest refers to multiple Carian princesses, it may be that Rennala had husbands before Radagon, it’s just that Radagon was he most recent husband.

[@LianleoC]

There is a troll knight defending gavel of haima too. Used to drop giant hunt before it was patched

[@MarshallPFinch]

The Carian knights were probably preparing to fight someone who knew sorceries AND incantations. Who could that be? Radagon, who studied both. This is just more evidence of Ranni's plotting. She knew she planned to attack the Golden Order, and equipped her knights for war.

[@Yehnah677]

Yeah and they probably guessed the academy would one day attempt a revolt from within.

[@obsidianblack7249]

The Carian armor looks great except for that weird bit on top of the helmet that looks like a chess piece.

[@zenebean]

Would have been nice for some kind of crescent moon ornamentation, but the rest makes it one of my favorite sets

[@obsidianblack7249]

@@zenebean agreed, it's like the basic knight armor was rebuilt in the style of Raya Lucaria. Like how Miquella made his sword in the Carian style but replaced the glintstone with Erdtree amber.

[@tebbix]

Carian Knight, Darkmoon Greatsword and Age of Stars is the best Elden Ring RP playthrough.

[@ivanwm2513]

First, you find the armor set in a tomb. You are not too sure about its stats, but it looks cool so you equip it. Then you duel Moongrum before the elevator to the library. You defeat Rennala and head to the Three Sisters, where you enter Ranni's service and proceed to do her quest. From an RP standpoint, it was rather neat for my vagabond knight to find a new leige (Ranni) after proving himself worthy by defeating Moongrum and finding the Carian armor set.

[@square-table-gaming]

I believe the armor is actually in Raya Lucaria in front of a grave stone

[@DM-Oz]

I personaly like the idea of roleplaying the prisioner class as a Carian Knight that lost his grace, was banished from the lands between, imprisoned, died and was brought back, just to find out what happened to the order and the royal family. From here is standard stuff, would seek the remnants of the Carian Royal family, bound by duty.

Or Rennala has sisters or nieces , so they could be considered princesses

[@noahjohnson935]

one thing to keep in mind. The Carian Royal Family coud've had cousisns and other branches that lived with Rennala and Radagon. Maybe when Rennala became Queen of Liurnia, she raised her sisters up to the level of "Princess", and she had neices also given that title, possibly after her sisters passed away? If it became a hereditary thing in these "lesser" royals that would allow the establishment of the Matriarchal style of title inheritance the Carians had. The Shattering War probably devastated most of the Carian Family itself. Leaving only the "main" royals of Queen Rennala, Princess Ranni, Rykard, and Radahn alive while all their relatives were killed in the Liurnian civil war, maybe hunted by Knights of the Cuckoo and Academy traitors.

@@square-table-gaming that's true. A cool consept may be that Bols was exceptional and therefore rose into the carian knight from the lower troll knights. The reason I think this is no other carian trolls are referred to as carian knights except him.

Great video as always keep up the good work 👌

[@ninovalenzuela1019]

Theory Time Who are the known Carian Knights? ~With presumably 19 or less knights I wanted to theorize who and what roles these knights played by on the time we encounter them. 1) Moongrum ~ Rennala's Knight: Protects the Queen of Caria even to this day Sub-Theory 1: Moongrum is the current captain/leader of the Knights, well sort off, as currently the order is disbanded and their knights follow their own objectives now Sub-Theory 2: Moongrum is Rennala's Jailer; hard to imagine but details indicate that the academy itself imprisoned Rennala when they turned against her, and what better way to imprison her is with a traitorous knight of Caria. Why would Moongrum betray Rennala and the family is most likely due to Radagons own betrayal and Rennala's own descent to madness over the amber egg. A notable thing to support this is the presence of Lazuli Scholars, Lazuli Scholars supports the idea of the moon being equal to the stars and are known to practice carian sorceries as they are the scholars waiting to be knighted. It is either disillusioned scholars that thought they are never going to be Carian Knights or led by a traitorous Carian Knight is why they would oppose Rennala. Thankfully not all of the Lazuli Scholars allied themselves with the Academy, with some defending the Manor till our arrival. 2) Bols ~ Carian Troll Knight: [Fact] Imprisoned by the Cuckoo Knights; [Theory:] Most likely the defender of the Kingsrealm Ruins (or what it was before), as due to the vicinity of his gaol from the Ruins and captured Carian Caravan Sub-Theory: He surrendered which then led his capture, he surrendered most likely when he knew that Rennala was imprisoned at the academy or was captured when the Carian Knights were disbanded 3) Unknown Carian Troll Knight : Carian Manor Defender ~not much to say about this knight as the placement of said knight, doesn't suggest any other theory for the fact that he serves as one of the last line of defense for the Manor and Ranni 4) Unknown Carian Troll Knight : Defends the Converted Fringe Tower Theory: This knight was stationed here to prevent scholars of the academy from reaching the Haima spells. These are very powerful spells of battle mages. There is also a distinct lack of Battle Mages inside the the academy, so at some point the scholars tried to acquire more powerful spells for their uprising, the Carians thinking ahead sealed the spells far off the NE and had a Carian Knight to Defend it 5) Unknown Carian Troll Knight Puppet: Sieging the Highway Lookout Tower The theory is; this knight is perhaps conjured by one of the Loyal Preceptors (Preceptor Miriam) as she is currently defending the Carian Study Hall Tower, and that she is most like trying to take back the Highway Lookout tower from the Academy Scholars that are Garrisoned there. Considering that the encampment looks like a significant one and that the Carian Glint Blade Staff is also located there, one can assume that Carian knights were once Garrisoned here(Outpost) as this road is what connects the Academy~Liurnia with Stormviel~Limgrave. 6) Adula Dragon Carian Knight: [Fact: Dragon that swore allegiance to Ranni] Theory: Adula is the last or most recent Knight of the Carian Order, as it wasn't until Ranni was the next line of the Family that Adula was bested and then knighted 7) Lorreta Former Carian Knight, Knight of the Haligtree: Once Carian Knight, abandoned her post to find refuge for the Albinauric People, rumored to be an Albinauric herselft. I believe that Lorreta may represented the Albinauric for the Carian Family and/or knights, as the Carian family treated albinaurics in a more humane conditions, as for example of Pidia an albinauric that helps defend Caria Manor (albeit in a twisted way) and protects the store house within the manor. Lorreta may had high hopes for the Carian Family for the better treatment of the albinaurics (seeing she herself maybe one) but when the Knights and Family fell into disarray she left her post to find refuge for the Albinaurics. She most likely left during or after the siege of Caria Manor. 8) Unknown Human Carian Knight Ghost: Not much is known about this knight apart from his/her wish for Ranni to ascend Sub-Theory: This Ghost Carian Knight, may have been the Former Captain or Leader of the Carian Knight Order Probable Carian Knights, continued from who are the Carian Knights, these are possibly Carian Knights or were but there aren't much evidence to proven as such, or didn't have enough evidence to be proven as actual knight 9)Warmaster Iji: Ranni's Warmaster and Advisor Iji along with other of his Troll Brethren were the few that were called upon on by an old oath, however Iji have known Ranni since her childhood as such is the most probable reason as to why he was chosen as Warmaster and advisor. His biggest link as a Carian Knight is he wears the same cloak as the rest of the Carian Troll Knights , with the only difference of him wearing a Mirror Helm Sub-Theory: Iji is the reason why there is an illusionary wall that blocks access to the Caria Manor at the Kings Realm Ruins, and is the Manor's first line of defense (after the failed Siege of the Cuckoo Knights 10) Preceptor Miriam: Defender of Carian Study Hall Preceptors work with secrecy for their Carian Monarchs, only when Radaggon was married in to the family that they served other than their monarchs. Considering she's defending the study hall, it is either a) she was apointed there by Rennala as it's caretaker / defender b) appointed there by Ranni to defend here during the Night of the Black Knives and subsequent ritual that Ranni partook in, later Miriam would protect the curse mark left behind from said ritual. Currently Miriam utilize puppets to defend the Study Hall Tower and possibly trying to take back lost ground for the Carian Loyalist (see no. 5) 11) Preceptor Seluvis: Appointed advisor for Princess Ranni / Traitor Only Included in this list due to his counter part Preceptor Miriam also being on the list 12) Guest Knight / Executioner Jarren: Former Servant of the Carian Royal family Despite working for the Carian Royal Family, he never really stated to be a Carian knight and only reffered as either a Guest Knight or Guest Commander (Raddahn). He also doesn't display any Carian Knight Sorceries, however considering his skills as a witchhunter and that the Carian Knights were trained to counter mages, Jarren may have been one or the one that trained Carian Knights to powerful Mage killers. Also he keeps very close ties with the Carian Royal family even after their disarray, even so far to defend Rennala by challenging Sellen when she wanted to usurp the academy Theoretical Carian Knights 13-15) Beheaded Ghost Troll Knights Like as mentioned above there are no concrete evidence that these three possible Troll Knights are actual carian troll knights like Bols, however due to Bols gaol location, it can be implied that Bols is one of the four Troll knights that defended the Bellfries and the only one that lived. 16) Onyx / Alabaster Lords These Lords are known to have taught Raddahn about Gravitational Magic and at least one of them are Located near Caria Manor albeit imprisoned in a Gaol, could it be? that this Alabaster / Onyx Lord that caused the disbandment of the Carian Knights? Alternatively one of the Alabaster Lords found refuge in the academy while the other one was imprisoned for not taking Carian's Side during the Liurnian Civil War, then again imprisonment can either be: keeping things' out or preventing something from escaping. 17) Sorcerer Rogier He is well versed in Carian Sorcery and Skills, and considering his history with D a member of the Golden Order. Rogier may have been a Carian Knight at Peace, knighted during peace time at wars end (around the time Rennala & Raddagon were married). Most likely leaving a few years later after finding no glory as a Carian Knight 18) Raddagon of the Golden Order This mostly theorized due to his Marriage with Rennala, not only that as he is also seen a champion albeit from their adversaries, integrating him into the Carian Knights is a humiliating blow to the Golden Order. 19) The Player (Prisoner Class) Following the Description of the Prisoner Class, there were once part of the elites and studied Glintstone sorceries. That Glintstone Sorcery is the magic Glint Blade the prototype of Sword Sorceries. This can be implied that the prisoner was a Lazuli Scholar or a Carian Noble of significant Rank or perhaps was once a preceptor. Regardless they would been Knighted and would later be shunned/dishonored and sentenced for imprisonment. This could lead to different possibilities like: Perhaps this knight learned of the truth of Raddagon's Secret and would be shunned by Raddagon and be label a traitor by false pretense or Perhaps this Knight was the cause of ruin of the Carian Knight Order, leading for his imprisonment The possibilities are endless

[@EA-wr2xg]

The troll hiding in next to the wall on the way to Mourne is only combatative if provoked by you ore the Servant Riff-Raff Butchers. Thought moat likely just a servant wagon puller trying to survive. The Carian knight's more ornate plate gear explains the situation better. One or 2 pieces change explanation when rethreaded by Bok. The Carian knights started turning on the family. The male's thought too much power held by the knights. Mages had their Stone Mage Masons Club judging and turning on each group felt not proper. After the queens depression set in. The Radagon leaving thing was like a Greek Myth of Tiresias. The male and female roles reversed.

If we’re helping Ranni why do we have to fight Adula? I wouldn’t call any faction “heroes”, I have a very strict and pure concept of a true hero and the Carians are evil in their own way.

[@JasonAGoode]

Because Adula likely has no idea what's going on, and without any contravening directives, is just doing what it thinks it should to protect her/ her ancestral home. "Hero" is a subjective term, as is "good" for that matter, and no one is good or evil all the time. The Carians did some f*cked up stuff, but then pretty much everyone in the lands between did something misanthropic - what I suspect you mean by evil (except Boc, I guess) - as has every society ever. The knights were 'true heroes' of Caria, clearly intelligent, skilled, and noble in their society, but not necessarily by our current sensibilities.

My thoughts on the Carian Knights A group of powerful magic wielding knights, sworn to defend the Carian Royals, ultimately fell into disarray after Radagon left for Marika, Rennala lost herself to the Amber Egg and their children went their separate ways There wasn’t much, hell ANYTHING left worth defending And yet the knights defended, they swore their lives to this cause I can respect that, I can also respect their power and their loyalty, but above all, I respect their magic and designs, the Carian Knight armour is the best armour set, HANDS DOWN, and their sorceries, they wielded some powerful and magnificent magic, who else can say their magic gives them a giant lightsaber?

For those saying Adula or others can't be knights, this isn't necessarily true. Who can or can't confer knighthood depends greatly on the number of factors including the specific governmental and social structure, the time period, the type and definition of knighthood within that particular society, and a number of other factors. Any head of state, monarch or otherwise, can confer a knighthood recognized by that state, can invest any designate they choose with the ability to confer knighthood, and there can be multiple levels of knighthood. We simply don't know enough about Carian or Liurnian society at the time all this occurred to draw definitive conclusions about who was allowed to do what, and you shouldn't assume the rules are the same as current British royalty, as those rules have changed through history as well. It's really a shame, because I find the history of the Carians to be the most irksomely lacking lore in the game. Parts of item lore indicate one generation of royalty, where others imply many generations. Clearly, the Carian family was far larger than its known members, and they were a significant power in Liurnia long before Rennala came along.

[@darklordauron]

Adula being a knight has caveats. She swore a knightly oath to Ranni. You can't just say you're a knight, you have to be knighted my the reigning monarch. Rennala is still alive, so this means she would have to have had her wits to knight a dragon. Ranni is effectively at best the Steward of Caria, so she does not have the power to knight anyone. So I would want to see some sort of information that could back up the knighthood better than "This grumpy lizard got her ass kicked and declared herself a protector of the realm." Perhaps if Fortissax was referred to as a Knight of the Golden Order or something, it might lend some credence to the "we just let the dragons do what they want" self-knighting action. Though it does make me giggle at the thought of all the possible bureaucratic structures of Caria. Rykard, Radahn, and Ranni sitting there, forming a sort of "Mom should be in a nursing home" tribunal counsel. Ranni spoke up, "I have kickethed the ass of a large lizard and now she wants a knighthood." "Well... I would speak up, but if I do, my whole snake-deity thing would be in question, so sure, knight the thing," Rykard commented flippantly. "Can Leonard be a knight too?" Radahn asked. Ranni sighed. Rykard sigh-hissed. "Verily, that mightest as well happen," Ranni acquiesced. Radahn happily horse-girl clapped in joy.
