What Elden Ring Can Tell Us About ASOIAF: Bran Stark and Miquella of the Haligtree

Welcome one and all!! In this video, two guys will convince you that Miquella is actually Bran Stark. Why does this matter? Becauuusussee....Miquella's story is closer to completion than Bran, forreal, so that will help us figure out what will happen to Bran Stark in the Winds of Winter and BEYOND!

This was the first video that got recommended to me after googling Miquella and Bran parallels and I’m so happy I found it. As embarrassing as it is, two years went by without me connecting the dots, until I’ve heard the wording “Miquella being an architect of the Haligtree” and I was like wait a minute, I know of another boy architect who helped to build Storm’s End and might be connected to the child with the same name. It got me thinking and googling and I’m glad yours was the first thing that I’ve watched! You two clearly know your Elden Ring and ASOIAF, and I enjoyed lore, theorising and humour so much. Watched the other videos as well, hope to see more after the DLC! (or before pretty please)

That's not embarrassing at all lol, we're glad you enjoyed it! We're in the process of finishing a Ranni video at the moment, so be on the lookout for that (and more) soon. Thanks for watching!

@@WizardKissingCo I totally didn’t finish Jon video when I was writing that comment lol, Ranni video bout to go hard, can’t wait! “No man ever truly knows what he can do unless he dares to leap." or whatever freaky one-eyed man said

One of the most important pieces to understanding Elden Ring is understanding the Law of Causality and Regression: that all things are linked in a chain of relation and that we can look at each piece in the chain to understand why it is there. The reason why that is important is because three of our most pivotal characters are aware of this as well: Miqeulla, Radagon, and Marika. They know that if you want Y sometimes you have to create X, you want an effect so you create the cause. Miquella being eternally young is not JUST him being frail like Bran and Sweetrobin but it also parallels Bran being able time-travel. You gotta be a fan of the Time-traveling Bran theory and that Bran is the Three Eyed Crow for this to all work for you. Since you cannot know Miquella's age we must assume that he is much older than actually portrayed, both of his parents are the same person and have unknown origins and life spans, and his twin is also in a limbo where she eternally decays. So being older than most other characters he knows more than them, being eternally youthful he can deceive other characters, being able to bewitch others means he can manipulate people to do what he wants, and knowing Causality and Regression means he can set up a chain of events that will allow him to reach his goal. From the DLC webpage, we know that: It was to this land that Miquella departed. Divesting himself of his flesh, his strength, his lineage. Of all things Golden. The way that Miquella fed the Haligtree was with his own blood, and that this failed and the tree fell to rot, but it only looks like failure if you think the goal was to grow a nice big healthy tree. Instead we can see that Miquella was attempting to divest himself of his flesh and all things Golden so he could make it the Land of Shadow via his spirit. In Elden Ring, spirits get hewned into the Erdtree via the roots. In order to prevent your soul from being vacuumed up by the tree you need something to prevent that, you need Deathroot. When Godwyn was murdered and buried into the Greattree Roots it spread, preventing souls from being consumed by the Erdtree and creating Those Who Live in Death(who all happen to either be bandits, soldiers of the previous ruling power, or hexers who practice heretical magic) Looks like Deathroot might protect Miquella's soul as it travels to the Land of Shadow. With the death of Godwyn we get the events that lead to the Shattering, the war and the Shattering of the Elden Ring. This destabilization throws the world into chaos, many people die, the power structures that currently hold society crumble. You have Malenia, the undefeated Swordswoman who can't defeat Radahn, so she nukes Caelid with Rot, causing Radahn to go mad and regress into a dog like beast. Radahn is holding up the stars in stasis, and his death is necessary to access the DLC. Most think that Malenia failed to kill Radahn, but I don't think that was her mission, or at least not what Miquella wanted. Miquella was abducted by Mohg and brought beneath Caelid in what looks like a large tree stump. Beneath where Radahn and Malenia fought, the blood seeped through the earth and made a blood swamp. Perhaps this was the goal all along for Miquella: Murder Godwyn, get deathroot, destabilize the world, divest grace by feeding Haligtree, get abducted by Mohg and brought under Caelid, sister comes looking for him and causes a massive war, blood leaks into Mohgwyn, Radahn had 70 IQ shaved off the top so he can't let go of the stars. During all of this chaos, the Tarnished return, and it just so happens that the last Tarnished to return is chosen by Miquella's horse: Torrent. For someone reason, our player character is special and Torrent knows it. Are Tarnished has a pretty easy time in the Lands Between all things considered, we get to level up with Runes, ghost girl in a doll gives us a bell to summons spirits to help us, and the power structures that would have guided, indoctrinated, or hindered Tarnished mostly dont exist anymore. Everyone is mad and deathless and doesn't really pay attention to Torrent's Chosen Tarnished as he goes on a checklist of killing everything. Seems pretty convenient This chosen Tarnished is also the one who kills Radahn and unlocks the stars, perhaps this is what Miquella wanted. If Radahn was sane, or killed too soon, then the stars would unlock before Torrent's chosen might have even been around. If this is what Miquella is doing, then what could Bran be up to? Now, Bran, the crow urged. Choose. Fly or die.
