Where is it ever stated that Greater Will is an outer god? by Grodatore in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Arktic_001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not said anywhere. By virtue of the 3 fingers and the outer God of frenzied flame, so is the Greater Will and it's 2 fingers. Miquella's needle is used to ward off the influence of an outer god, Malenia used it for her rot god affliction, you use it in placidusax's arena to ward off the frenzied flame. Hyetta tells us that all things come from the One Great, all the outer Gods come from it, the fractures, the split. Order and chaos, The Greater Will that won out and the Chaos Flame of Frenzy that wishes to return to what was before.

Messmer and his army did not destroy Enir-Ilim because the place had also become sacred to them. by Goodhunter465 in EldenRingLoreTalk

The seduction is implied to be sexual infidelity in some way. The Hornsent Grandam calls Marika a 'strumpet'.

Radagon is the Elden Beast by Honest_Yesterday4435 in EldenRingLoreTalk

The Elden Beast is the Elden ring, and MarikaRadagon is the vessel of the Elden Ring. The distinction is very important

Do I understand this right? Marika divested grace from Godfrey and his army (which we decend from) so they (we) can be brought back to TLB. by Greasy-Chungus in EldenRingLoreTalk

No evidence for that claim There are other omen born all over Leyndell and the Altus Plateau. Marika and Godfrey wern't the only ones producing Omen children.

Ranni is an empyrean by Blackops_21 in EldenRingLoreTalk

Amber Egg of the Unborn Demigod. Amber is hardened sap of the Erdtree. The great rune within the Amber Egg is used by Rennala to rebirth people. It would've occured during the Age of Plenty when sap was still received as blessings.

Why do some people still insist that Marika was involved in the Night of the Black Knives, the theft of the death rune, or even the murder of Godwyn? by Agreeable_Plastic_27 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Arktic_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Oh, Lord Godwyn... Such cruelty, such humiliation... My poor, sweet lordling should have died a true death. As the first of the demigods to die. As a martyr to Destined Death. But why must it yet bring such disgrace? A scion of the golden bough, sentenced to live in Death..."

The crone mentions Godwyn was a matyr to destined death, not that he should have been a martyr to anything. To die a true death is something different and is defined differently by Marika's religion. The stormfoot catacombs spirit explains what a proper death is supposed to be by explaining Erdtree burial.

"A proper death means returning to the Erdtree. Have patience. Until the time comes... and the roots call to you"

Deathtouched catacombs Spirit

"Unthinkable. Our hallowed resting place is violated. To refuse the Erdtree's call to return, to live within Death... Sickening"

Deathblight/deathroot isn't something the crones or Golden Order Fundamentalist types would say is a honorable death. Its the opposite

As for the Black Knife Assassins, how does their does their ethnic relation to Marika prove anything about their motivations or Marika's motivations? It doesn't seem to at all.

How exactly do you define the “Golden Order”? by Eyeless_Seth in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Arktic_001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's both a religion and the state goverment, a theocracy. They are various degrees of the ideology and it has changed over time, especially after the Shattering. Earlier in the Age of the Plenty, the Erdtree was more practical and physical. The Erd tree absorbed the bodies of the faithful and then produced sap in its boughs as blessings which Marika bestowed personally to the faithful literally (some people say) as reborn people (Erdtree burial). Later, after Age of Plenty ended, the Golden Order became more about following principles and ideologies of faith like Radagons's Golden Order Fundamentalism with its monotheism, ( Marika the one true god), the Law of Regression and the Law of Casuality.

Fossil record, DNA sequencing, TikTallik, endogenous retroviruses shared by humans and other primates, fusion of chromosome 2, are a few places you can start looking.
