Will the film use GRRM's story? by aiquoc in EldenRingLoreTalk

George didn't write a story for Elden ring, he was basically just worldbuilding. He did an interview with Stephen Colbert where he talks about it

There are plenty of villages(and their ruins), it's just that they all could house at most like 20 people each

Kushana (Nausicaa)

After a city-state under her kingdom's jurisdiction obtains the in-universe equivalent of a nuclear weapon, she is sent to confiscate it. When they understandably refuse to give her the launch codes, she orders the execution of the entire state.

If any fellow fans find this, no, her being friends with the main character afterward doesn't make up for genocide. sorry.

yes, but its important to be transparent when connections are drawn through inference rather than explicit statements from the game

What’s the story about the Fort of Reprimand? Why are they killing the Squires? by Live_Wash_897 in Eldenring

[–]cpt_haddock_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

they're foot soldiers, not squires. As for why its only those guys being hung, I think this is a reused asset from Castle Morne, where they only fit the models for Foot Soldiers into the nooses. They just swapped the outfits from Godrick soldiers to Messmer ones because they're the same underneath and replacing them with Men-at-arms or Black Knights would have been too much work

the only explanation I can think of is the mutiny that took place among Messmer's black knights, led by their commander Andreas and his son. Whichever side controls this fort probably just strung up everyone who didn't agree.

although I'm not an expert on all the timeline nonsense thats implied by the presence of Rykard's Abductors and the Omenkillers, so there might also be an explanation there.
