[@envoyofrot7046]

Numen are indeed from the Eternal City, at least the Black Knifes. That is not a Theory but a Fact. However the Numen originally came from outside Lands Between confirmed by the Numen Rune. The Black Knifes have not been born in the Eternal City then but one day Numen came to inhabit it. Maybe the Nox Sisters themselves are originally Numen who came from Outside? In the words of dear Rogiere: "You recall our conversation about the Night of the Black Knives, yes? They say the assassins who carried out the deed were scions of the Eternal City. A group entirely of women, arrayed in armour of silver under cloaks which fooled the eye." Furthermore: "The assassins that carried out the deeds of the Night of the Black Knives were all women, and rumored to be Numen who had close ties with Marika herself."

You'd almost be surprised to learn it was datamined and not given in some item description.

"Did you.. want that to happen?" and the way she's so gentle greeting Asimi. If she really is the Gloam Eyed queen like some suspect, it would be cool to see some hints at her motherly aspects the queen is hinted to have with the swaddling cloth.

There was a supposed to be a questline in Leyndell that brings you to the discovery of Morgott being an Omen. There was supposed to be a surviving noble that asked you to kill Omens in the underground sewer, then was granted audience to Morgott which promptly kill him. Before he dies, he spoils you by informing you that Morgott is an Omen.

Also it’s possible that the Sleep ailment would’ve been more impactful and useful if Dreambrew was still a thing. For example you might have been able to use Dreambrew in combat on bosses or enemies you put to sleep, much like the Dream Nail in Hollow Knight, to gain more lore, or access a special ‘dream’ phase. Maybe a method to fight certain bosses in their prime. Heck with the fight against Fortissax in Fia’s dream, it shows that literally ‘fighting within a dream’ is an actual thing in ER.

Do you remember Seluvis, the sorcerer that gives you a potion that it given to someone, turns that someone into a summoning ash?

This means that the Tarnished are mainly descendants of Godfrey's warriors who came back to the Lands Between after the Shattering, although some simply happen to be from other places that aren't touched by grace (like the Japanese-style land the Japanese-style items come from). Also, we know the Finger Maiden was supposed to be ours because all Tarnished gets one, and they are sent by the Two Fingers.

One thing that catches my attention is that in Godrick's cut dialogue, he says "omen king" obviously referring to Morgott, but Morgott never identifies himself as the omen king (outside of his hp bar), he's known as morgott the grace-given and his true identity as an omen is kept a tightly knit secret.

The two I'd say could be called enemies though. Godrick disguised himself and fled the capitol with the women and children. I think he did this to both escape the war and Morgott specifically.

I didn't know I needed a mimic tear quest line yet here I am clamoring like a kid.

But the intro of him holding his son in his arms as he disappears is enough for me.

[@BirdMoose]

In the opening cinematic Hoarah Loux is mentioned as an important character akin to Gideon, Fia, and Dung Chad. It seems likely in an early draft of the game he would be a guiding NPC to some extent, thus the cut dialogue, before reclaiming his place as 1st Elden lord. In his phase transition the delivery and directing make it seem like saying "I fight as Hoarah Loux WARRIOR" is a big reveal, but it means little to nothing to the player. So maybe seeing that the connection would be obscured throughout the game until the end or maybe he would be the crestfallen warrior equivalent.

I'm sad that they cut Godricks lines, I like that he mentions the other demigods. He seems like such a bit player in the grand scheme of the story, but this reinforces that he knows hes a bit player, and that he feels he deserves more. Honestly the Godfrey line is so integral the setting the story, but they take a back seat to Radagon's lineage as you get deeper, even as you go to the reamins of the storm king it never really comes full circle (aside from Hoarah Loux taking us to the freaking octagon)

I imagine Asimi was cut due to A: complex issues with timing and quest limitations and B: Peoples unwillingness to eventually kill her for what is a massively powerful summon, due to possibly coming to enjoy her company.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

It might be also due to it possibly being a full other ending. You and her inside you become Elden lord's. It would also explain the marika radagon relationship.

I'm pretty sure Asimi and Radagon are the same basic being. I'm almost certain at this point that Radagon is an artificial being, like the Albinaurics. Created by Celestial Dew, housed initially within Marika, and used to fight Caria. Theres a ton of details that fit the idea of Radagon as an artificial lord, and Marika herself has a strong connection to the Eternal cities. Her title for one, but also the Black Knife assassins being both her kin and scions of the Eternal City. You'll also note a ton of Numen runes in the ant nests.

[@dogeknight8550]

damn now that you say it. and this whole revelation of Asimi supposedly existence. maybe that is the missing part about Radagon/marika relation.

[@Graficcha]

There's so many hints that this could be it. The law of regression incantation uses the phrasing that it can see through 'mimicry' rather than 'illusions'. The twinned armour set with a silver person shape emerging from the armour states there exists a state where someone has two bodies and two minds but one soul (sounds pretty much like Radagon and Marika). Radagon ends up as a hollow shell, like silver tear husks perhaps? The mimic veil is also nicknamed 'Marika's mischief', and like you say there's a lot of connections between her and the nox, who are connected to mimic goops. The mimic tear itself states it's related to attempts to 'create a Lord'. There's no way Marika had no idea about any of this. If it turns out to be a red herring or a coincidence I'll eat a shoe.

[@British_Rogue]

I misread that as, 'Eternal cuties'. 😅

[@ASpaceOstrich]

@@Graficcha Even more. The celestial dew Radagon used to cleanse himself and marry Rennala is the same exact celestial dew used to create albinaurics. Albinaurics greatest opponents were sorcerers, and all their equipment is built to counter sorcerers. Radagons symbol is a grid pattern which is unique among all the runes related to the Elden Ring, and looks notably artificial. Radagons first appearance is the war against the Carians, sorcerers. The Eternal City and Sellia have anti sorcerer sorceries. The dialogue about "you are yet to become me" rings similar to cut Asimi dialogue about her becoming you. I don't know if we'll ever get enough lore to confirm it, but I will be extremely surprised if Radagon isn't that artificial lord the Eternal City was trying to create. Which also puts into perspective just how long Marika has been working against the Greater Will.

It would explain why Melina's face looks identical to Ranni's soul/real face, or her closed right eye being the same color as Ranni's.
