[@madeline6951]

35:00 I believe the mechanism that tarnishes and strips things of luster is time. We see his description on almost all gauntlets of knights' sets: "Time has yet to dull their luster." It's possible that the Dragonlord stopped the "tarnishment" by literally stopping time in Farum Azula.

[@madeline6951]

lol that's almost exactly what you say later

[@OccamsOnion]

I am glad someone brought up the "tarnishment" in the comment. Since the video has been too long in the making, I have had some new thoughts on the mechanism as well. I also think there is more going on behind "drained of color/luster" than its literal meaning. Your interpretation of the gauntlets and time is very intriguing. I will see what I can cook up and hopefully share in the next vid! Much thanks!

This is an old write-up now, with some recent updates from the DLC. Marika is the Gloam/Dusk-Eyed Queen. - Red and black spike of death impales Marika and keeps her in place when we find her at the end. Only Maliketh wields this power, and only he could even defeat a God like Marika. But he's so loyal to her, why would he? - Maliketh "defeated" the Gloam/Dusk-Eyed Queen. We know Shadowbound hounds have to attack their former master if The Fingers feel like the Empyrean is acting against them. We play through this reality with Ranni's quest, and both she and Iji know Blaidd will go mad as she enacts her vision. How do they know this happens? They saw/heard of it happening to Maliketh and Marika already. - Only Marika would be able to guide Ranni to the location of the Rune of Death and how to use it for it to be stolen in the first place to forge the Black Knives. Remember, "Marika... is this what it is to sin?" "Why gull me..." Marika, after all, had only one use for Maliketh in the end, after the other work was done... a vessel to seal away Destined Death. And even then, she betrayed him. - The Beast Eye is a purple, scratched up eye. It's Marika's eye from being defeated and imprisoned by her Shadowbound. No other Queen or Empyrean is "defeated" but not slain, as the text implies there except Marika. And who but her purpose-made hound could even stop her, a God? The one entity empowered enough by the Ring/Fingers to be able to do so should the need arise. - Dominula Village is much like the Hinterlands and the Shaman Village. We find a skinning ritual and a Godskin Apostle there in Dominula. We learn that the "festival" is old and tacitly accepted by the Golden Order. The aesthetic of these villages is much the same, and they're intimately tied to Marika herself. - Gideon gives us a boon in the form of a secret rite known only to him, Black Flame Protection. He is alleged to have peered into the will of Queen Marika, and shuddered at the end that should not be. - The Scadutree is of a dual nature. So is Queen Marika. When Gold arose, so too was Shadow born. Gold and Shadow exist as necessary contrasts to each other, yet in a God, in Marika, this duality exists in coalesce, or it did once. - No other characters are named as Queen or Empyrean that aren't already accounted for/ruled out to be the GEQ, and by that I mean Melina, she was given purpose by her mother at the foot of the Erdtree and that means she is a daughter of Marika, not old enough to be the GEQ but possesses traits of both Marika and Radagon. Eye color and hair color are passed down traits we see in game. Well, sure enough, Melina shows us a purple/gloamy eye in one ending. Inherited trait from her mother, the Queen in Black. Marika's eyes are never shown to us, to judge their color. - Duskborn ending sees Godwyn rise to ascendancy and sees Death restored, with him as the Prince of Death itself. These titles aren't meaningless. Duskborn? The "Prince" of Death? Well, who would the Queen be? If Godwyn is Duskborn, and if he is a Prince, his mother would, of course, be associated with "Dusk" and be a Queen. And we know his mother is Queen Marika. - Fia is hooded with a black cloak and comes from some other land. She also helps create Godwyn's Duskborn ending and is Death-aligned. We see Marika wearing black hooded garb in a statue where she also is holding the twins Miquella and Malenia. Her tattered clothing as we find her at the end is also black. She is also associated with the Nox/Numen race and the Black Knife Assassins that come from there as well. - Statues of Marika in her crucified pose all show her with a flowing black cloth that wraps behind her in almost the exact same shape as the Godslayer Greatsword, which was the weapon or ritual sword of the GEQ/DEQ. You have to pivot the camera a bit to get a good view, but the shape is very similar. Coiled and then open, with one flap slightly longer than the other, same tip design on the Godslayer Greatsword. It's possible that she was propped up by the Hornsent culture and then part of the betrayal was killing other Gods in their pantheon, but what's maybe more possible is as Centered Tarnished pointed out, that Marika culled some other of her "unwanted" children after learning the truth of the broken Fingers and flawed foundations of her Order. - Godwyn is referred to as the "Prince of Gold" in an item description. If a Prince of Death could have been a Prince of Gold, why couldn't his mother hold this potential as well, even necessarily so? We see from the Death Knights that Gold and Death can somehow synergize even still... Gold and Shadow, born at the same time, same as it ever was. - Hewg prays to Queen Marika about his given task to craft a Godslaying weapon. Very interesting and specific task. Marika wants a God slain. He mentions "the sheer terror of Her..." regarding Marika. Godskins certainly take an interest in killing a God. Who was their leader? A "defeated" Queen who was once an Empyrean. Marika. - Raging Wolf Vargram is a would-be Shadow. Wolf imagery is on his armor. He wields the Godslayer Greatsword. The weapon art is "The Queen's Black Flame", of course. A statue of Marika exists in Farum Azula showing her with three wolves. - Marika learned the secrets of the Golden Order and realized her children would "amount only to sacrifices" as she instructed them. She knew the Erdtree was a soul parasite, and by sealing Death away, she weakened the Erdtree over time. She also had Godwyn buried at the roots of it, knowing that he would grow and overtake them, choking the Erdtree further. As he was, Godwyn was an "unwanted" child since he embodied the Golden Order, and she was a prisoner to it. He would end up much like Miquella would, a caged divinity of some kind. She was likely opposed to the Erdtree and Greater Will/Fingers for a long time, weaving plots in secret until the Shattering. She realized, only too late, that ultimate power has a way of becoming a curse when the truth of the nature of it all is finally revealed. Just as Marika shined so brightly with her Golden Order, another aspect of her was as deep as the abyss and as dark as any shadow.

[@ALaz502]

You cooking out here in the comments bro.

[@Yes34sumo]

@@ALaz502 He's not. It's from a reddit post and everyone is posting it like the gospel now. Personally, I think a lot of these could be explained by the nascent theory that "Marika and the GEQ were twins like Morgott and Mohg and possibly stole Messmer and Melina from the GEQ". Like, if we didn't have the Lord of Blood boss fight we could easily assume that Mohg was actually just a piece of Morgott like Margit. In a similar vein, the GEQ might appear to be Marika because we don't see her at all.

[@ghotiphoti]

@@Yes34sumo There's some very interesting correlations that could reinforce this theory, but it also makes some baseless assumptions in my opinion. Black robes on a statue? How can you tell? What points to Godwyn being her unwanted child? (edit: the ghost outside of the Church of Pilgrimage does) Namely, Melina's older brother Messmer is a very fascinating link. > He wields a shadowy, soul-burning fire that is explicitly an aspect of his being, traits quite comparable to the Godslaying Black Flame. > We never get to see his real eyes as his right eye is plucked out and the left one never opens (like Melina's, curiously), but the Gloam-eyed Queen *does* have a heavy connection to serpents. Messmer has a symbiotic relationship with the Abyssal Serpent, or maybe he just is it. > If Marika is/was the Gloam-eyed Queen, it would make sense that she would want to hide her former identity by scorning snakes. Maybe Messmer was hidden away in the Realm of Shadow because of this close tie. What reason does she possibly have to be scared of the snake, that it would be the sole reason she sealed her own son away? some other reinforcing evidence I can think of off the top of my head > the trailer inexorably links Gold and Shadow, twin aspects that were birthed simultaneously > Destined Death is explicitly referred to as the "forbidden shadow" plucked from the Golden Order upon its creation > the God-Slaying power of the Black Flame was lost when Maliketh sealed away Destined Death. (Scouring Black Flame) > how did Gideon find a Black Flame incantation? "Perhaps the Queen's sorrow was justified?" > in the Temple of Eiglay, the snake is strung up in a manner similar to how Marika is depicted in her Lands Between statues. (shoutout to Scum Mage Infa in their "True Identity of the Gloam Eyed Queen" video for this observation) I also had a theory that the original sin was the plucking of Destined Death from the Golden Order upon its creation but that would be too recent of an event in the world's history for it to be original. Plus if that were the case, Miquella would have gone to Farum Azula himself. Ultimately I think it's certainly possible that Marika is the Gloam-Eyed Queen, but there isn't really enough evidence to say for sure

[@AMbradfordfilms]

People need to really think about how many examples of split body/split soul things are going on with demi gods and Empyreans. Hell even D, a Tarnished, has a split body. We see Melanias "daughters" who presumably were born from rot blooms, or their petals, Im not sure but the point is I think Melina is a purposeful shedding of Marikas GEQ persona. The crucible can blend and split life and spirit. The revelation should be that Marika divested parts of herself similar to Miquella, the GEQ being one of those parts.

[@AMbradfordfilms]

@@ghotiphoti There is a finger reader in the Nameless Eternal City (where Godwyns body is) that heavily implies he was an unwanted child. The walking Masoleums reinforce this. We do not see the color of her clothing in the statues, true, but we see her in black in promotional images and her baldachin in her bedchamber is the same black fabric we see all over The Land of Shadow thats draped over buildings; even draped over the Scadutree itself.

[@G4MES_Theory]

Great video, my friend. Unfortunately, my channel is in Portuguese, but in my first and only theory video, I also pointed out the fact that there is more than one Elden Ring. Additionally, I agree with you that, prior to the Golden Order, it is very likely that there was the Age of the Sun. My video was more about the real form of the Elden Ring, and I pointed that it's not impossible for other outer gods to have their own rings. Btw, your video gave me a great idea for another theory! 😅 Keep de good work, mate!

[@specialnewb9821]

The Greater Will is not an outer god.

[@G4MES_Theory]

@@specialnewb9821 Is that so? Then why it's Elden Ring came from space? Why the Elden Beast is a cosmic being? I undertand your idea that maybe it is the god of the region, but it would make no sense since there was another gods wich were worshiped long before the Greater Will... But, if you have an explanation about it, I would like to hear!

[@specialnewb9821]

@G4MES_Theory it's a bad translation. the japanese version defines what we call outer gods as aspects of nature/reality excluded from the Golden Order. The Greater Will is above them, it created the reality that the outer gods embody. An outer god can certainly take over and become the essence of the age, becoming a central part of the Elden Ring, but it's still using the tool created by the greater will. The greater will does not appear to care WHAT order there, merely that there IS an order

[@G4MES_Theory]

@@specialnewb9821 Wow! Gotcha! If the english translation isn't accurate, then I bet that the portuguese version is even worse. I will take a good the japanese version, cuz it's not the first time people tell me about the bad translations... Thanks for explaining your point, mate!

I don't think the "Eternal City" leveled by Astel was any of the extant ones. Indeed, they have not been leveled at all. Astel's lair is deep below the Lake of Rot. In the lake there are scattered buildings from the Ancient Dynasty. If there was a city here, it has indeed been leveled. In general the places where we find astels is in the Ancient Dynasty stratum, perhaps with the exception of the Snowfields Astel. Something else I find questionable is the assertion that Farum Azula was always floating. It does have roads that once led places, including the Bestial Sanctum. So what's with the ruin debris? Maybe there were floating temples but I don't think Farum Azula was always afloat. Maybe just really tall like the divine bridges. We do have that one divine bridge that doesn't go anywhere. Also, why are there so many golems in Limgrave, who may also have fallen from the Sky? So many questions, but you seem to be good at coming up with answers. Any thoughts as who from whose corpses came the Godslayer's Greatsword and the Fingerslayer Blade?

[@beansnrice321]

Amazing video and amazing work collecting it all! I have been having similar thoughts ever since the recent eclipse in America's midwest. An eclipse implies the influence of a moon. To add to the apocalypses you've already mentioned, I also feel that the Shattered stone talisman and Relanna's twin moon spell imply that one or more moons once struck the lands between, possibly from failed (or successful) eclipse ascension events. Also, The "stars," made out of stone crowns implies that maybe one or more of the moons might have been made from a sacrifice of a very large number of astrologer/scholars. I forget who it was, Scum mage Infa or maybe Zayf the scholar but someone was going on about a theory of, "cruible technology." Where large numbers of people are sacrificed for one reason or another. According to them there have countless crucible events, including but not limited to all of the nox buildings with frozen people reaching out of them. Possibly an event like that created a moon for an eclipse. Maybe that is how all moons were made for every eclipse. I can think of at least 3 moons, the dark moon, the full moon and the black moon of nokstella.

[@Kyoujin710]

12:23 when you are talking about the ruins scattered about, you are the first person who made me imagine the erdtree itself, crashing into Farum Azula as it was launched from wherever the greater will is. Which would honestly be wild as fuck to imagine that's why there's ruins all over the map like that

[@joesaiditstrue]

I just realized, the eclipse shotel might be the weapon used to decapitate the soulless demigods, it's shaped perfectly for it 2:18 This could be a clever way to describe the light fading from the eyes of someone who was just beheaded.

[@abimaelmontesguardiola2774]

Cool video! I do agree that the GOQ/the godskins are an exceedingly ancient part of the lands between, tho I believe that both Nox and Rauh are descendanrs of the Numen that represented polar aspects of their culture, namely light and dark. I believe they used to directly contact the Greater Will through the use of a third, shamanic branch of Numen who were capable of contacting and manipulating spirits. They attempted apotheosis by creating the elden ring, at the cost og greatly reducing all Numen races and brought about the rise of elden lords. I still have to work out the details, but this is what makes the most sense to me as far as lands between pre history goes

[@4blasphemy]

nice video, but what i am surprised you didnt say at the end is what clicked for me as i was watching, i dont know if it is even my opinion or something i agree with but i find it kind of makes sense in this context, so the first shattered elden ring might be literally the elden beast, that is why it is "the" (current) elden ring but at the same it is kind of not, one of the reasons it occured to me was because of the spiral on the farum azula ring and the elden stars icon is kind of like the bottom of it (maybe even extending more down, basically falling)

I think your biggest contribution to collective ER lore theory is the concept of two separate elden rings. You even provided a bullet proof reason for the elden beast to arrive at a point in time that was seemingly AFTER the Greater Will’s apparent establishment of its hegemony in the Lands Between and imposed its order on life and death.

Could the shattering of the black moon have cause a widespread meteor shower over an extended time period that caused the flood of molten rock that tarnished archeologist spoke about recently? The flood that the stone coffin arks of the ancient dynasty, now resting on the cerulean coast, were built to survive. A flood that banished the eternal cities (and the ancient dynasty) underground by litterally covering them with molten rock.

[@donotreadthis26]

Oh and then, of course, the age thst followed the eclipse and subsequent shattering of the black moon and the flood it's falling pieces caused came an age devoid if order. The age of the crucible. Ruled by the gloam eyed queen and the god devouring serpent in enir ilim. Because, what do you think the did with the flesh of the gods they skinned? Marika usurped the age by killing the serpent and ascending to godhood by creating a new golden rune from her body and the rune arcs from the serpents body and form a new elden ring within herself at the gate of divinity where she was presumably supposed to be sacrificed like so many before.

Farum Azula situates in a separate time from the base game. The "Last Elden Ring Era" isn't in the past, but in fact being in the future. Note the Miquella's golden hair present on the Ring and the praying boy statue underneath it. The strange Elden Ring is all about the Age of Compassion.

[@OccamsOnion]

Interesting Idea! But I think it think it would be hard to reconcile with the description of the Dragoncrest Talisman that states "The ancient dragons ruled the prehistoric era before the Erdtree" or that of the Altus Blooms thats hints at the gold before the Erdtree Era. It seems to me the last Elden Ring Cylcle is very much is in the past. Genuinely interested in your thoughts.

[@willazeppeli]

@@OccamsOnion The Elden Ring represents the Order, I think it could also represent the Time, which is in fact, a loop. Players die and revive again and again, in different cycles of the "Infinite Time Loop". Quote from Sir Ofnir "Queen Marika has high hopes for us...That we continue to struggle. Unto eternity." Hence the past becomes the future and vice versa.

[@OccamsOnion]

This interpretation fits well with the description of Memory of Grace "It is merely a cycle."

[@Xandros999]

@@willazeppeli What Gideon Ofnir says isn't cyclical though. He's advocating stasis. No one may take the throne. Apparently the fingers that he's been communing with (Lord's Divine Fortification) told him that that's what Marika wants. The Fingers are not aligned with Marika so I don't believe it to be true, but they did have a motive for the lie which I can't quite grasp. I don't think they believed the cycle could continue. This aligns with Radagon's actions who also attempted to deny access and ascent. He's but a tool of the Fingers. Maybe they are doing damage control much like Placidusax.
