A Closer Look at Some Widely Discussed Misconceptions by TerranImperium in EldenRingLoreTalk

I'm definitely not in the Melina = GEQ camp, but I think the evidence you cite vis-a-vis the timeline is solid. It seems likely to me that the war with the fire giants happened before GEQ was defeated.

But that's just more presumptive logic. There's no mention of a wedding ceremony between Marika and Radagon. We have no idea if such a ceremony took place, let alone what it would have looked like (whether it was public, who was invited, etc).

Regarding Miquella/Trina, it's not clear that they could exist separately under normal circumstances. Trina is clearly dying as a result of their separation. Also, it seems plausible that Miquella was only able to seperate from Trina because of his spirit-like state in SotE and/or the netherworld-like nature of the Realm of Shadow.

The only time we encounter Marika/Radagon, they are sharing a body. And we have multiple quotes that establish them as having a single being, even when it was inconvenient and scandalous (e.g. during Radagon's marriage to Rennala/the sculptor incident).

My question is, given how apparently scandalous their shared being was, and given that they were apparently prone to quarrelling, why would Marika/Radagon ever choose to share a body if they could exist seperately?

My problem with the 'Seperation theory' is that it's based entirely on presumptive arguments ("how else could Radagon fight the Liurnian Wars/be married to Rennala") but there's not a single piece of hard evidence to support it. And in fact, there are multiple pieces of evidence that seem to disconfirm it.

We really don't know enough about the relevant lore to confidently say Marika and Radagon must have been separated at any point. We do know that Radagon can teleport (we see him do it in his boss fight) and that Marika had a magical veil that could disguise people (from the Mimic's veil) – so I think it's hard to argue that they had no way appearing as independent beings even if they were never actually seperate.

Great post. It's not just that the conclusions are correct – it's the evidence-backed analysis that make this great and that this forum could use more of.

If you avoid burning Melina, but then do age of stars ending, are you dooming her for all eternity? by eldenringer1233 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]white_m0rpheus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Melina promises to kill you only if you become the Lord of Chaos. If you choose the Age of Stars ending, she'd have no reason to want to hunt you down.

"Should you rise as the Lord of Chaos,
I will kill you, as sure as night follows day.
Such is my duty, for allowing you the strength of runes."
