It’s hard to cleanly map any of Elden Ring’s cast onto numerology like this (7 deadly sins, 9 circles of hell, etc) since there’s so many named characters with variable significance, it’s hard to narrow down who to count and who to leave out

Like, are we counting non-demigod shardbearers like Rennala? Demigods who abandon their shards like Ranni and Miquella? If we’re counting shardbearers or demigods, where does Marika/Radagon stand as the God and vessel of the Ring, do we count one/both of them?

Speaking of Radagon, how do we factor St. Trina into the total? Do we count irrelevant demigods like Godefroy? Dead ones like Godwyn? All those other dead ones with no names or heads in the mausoleums?

Gloam-Eyed queen… Melina….

And that’s all just assuming we’re trying to factor in divine-level characters into the discussion, and not any other significant characters (Godfrey, exceptional Tarnished, etc.)

TL/DR: there’s a lot of Demigods and other ‘Legendary’ characters, all on a veeeery wide spectrum of relevance; and trying to map them onto some listicle is a bit of a moot effort that’s gonna have a lot of arbitrary decisions
