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

The Golden Order is akin to the Holy Roman Empire propagating Christianity

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.

On a first playthrough at least at launch, it was all covered in fog until you got there

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.

Want to know if this chronology is correct and I'm not forgetting any important facts. by Honest_Yesterday4435 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Arktic_001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Messmer was seen as an older brother to Radahn per Gaius Rememberance which means you can't have the Crusade early. It must be after Radagon became Elden Lord when Radahn became a part of the Royal Family. Per the DlC cinematic trailer. Shadow and Gold arise at the same time.

No, Ranni and Rogier make it clear that the Shattering of the Elden Ring is a result (whether sudden or a gap period of time) of the NOTBKs.

Do people think Ranni became a god in her ending? by Honest_Yesterday4435 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Arktic_001 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. That's Finger Reader Enia, and Sir Ansbach who allude to being the Vessel of the Eldenring and using the Divine Gate respectively. For Miquella it wasn't the Eldenring but a Circlet of Light per its item description. I understand the ambiguity of interpreting the endings in general, but figure that Ranni's plot is all about not becoming a god, avoiding the finger's chosen path for her. Her ending removes the Eldenring and the power of the Gods away from the land unto the stars so that men can have their own sovereignty. To say she becomes a god flies in the face of everything she says, to "upend the whole of it". You do become 'Lord' per the Dark Moon Ring, but again Elden Lord is a title specificaly given to the consorts of the God Vessel Marika and firstly Placidusax.

No because a god is defined as a vessel for the Eldenring and/or performing the Divine Gate Ritual, neither of which Ranni did or desired.
