Our story doesn't begin in the Lands Between.

It begins in the cosmos, far away, with an outer god called the Greater Will.

There are a lot of outer gods mentioned in Elden Ring.

You can think of these kind of like the Great Ones of Bloodborne.

They're distant beings, they're all -powerful, and they're quite unknowable by design.

But many of these outer gods want to make their presence felt in the world.

The Greater Will, maybe most of all.

To this end, it sent a Golden Star hurtling towards the Lands Between.

The Elden Star's incantation tells us that this

Golden Star was bearing a beast, an Elden Beast.

The Elden Remembrance calls it a Vassal Beast of the Greater Will.

If you didn't know, a vassal is someone who holds land on behalf of their overlord.

Obviously, this is fitting in this case, because the Elden Beast occupied the Lands Between on behalf of the Greater Will,

and was a living incarnation of the concept of order.

As such, this beast would later become the Elden Ring.

The Elden Ring itself is made up of runes of power,

some great, some small, that together represent a sort of logic for the world to follow.

Thus, the Elden Ring represents order.

The true nature of this order is a subject of constant debate and research undergone by fundamentalists.

But two of the key fundamentals are the laws of causality and regression.

You can think of the law of causality as cause and effect,

where actions have consequences, and those consequences are new causes that branch out into infinity.

These are the relationships between things.

Then there's the law of regression that states that all things eternally yearn to converge and return to their roots.

Fittingly, the Elden Ring is housed within the Erdtree, which towers over the Lands Between.

But it's very important to stress that life in the Lands Between did not begin with the Erdtree, the Elden Ring, or the Elden Beast.

No, the Lands Between were occupied well before the Greater Will came.

There were other beings here.

There were other factions here.

There were other another great tree here, before the Erd Tree.

And this is where a huge twist regarding the Erd Tree comes in.

So there are incantations in the game called Aspects of the Crucible.

According to their descriptions, these are manifestations of the Erd Tree's primal vital energies.

And I quote, they are an aspect of the primordial crucible where all life was once blended together.

But how could all life be blended together in the Erd Tree if the Erd Tree appeared after life existed?

There can only be one answer, right?

That the Erd Tree is a parasite, and it took over a tree that existed here before.

This ancient tree was called the Great Tree.

So the Great Tree was almost certainly the location of this primordial crucible,

and it must have been a very powerful primordial force for the Greater Will to have commandeered.

It might even be the reason

The Lands Between is important to the Greater Will in the first place.

It also explains why spells and enemies related to the Great Tree's Crucible would eventually be looked down upon.

For example, the Knot Talisman is fashioned from a knotted vestige of the Crucible, and it was considered a signifier of the Divine in ancient times,

but is now increasingly disdained as an impurity as civilization has advanced.

Enemies related to the Crucible are the Omen, the Misbegotten, and the Crucible Knights, and all three of them would be shunned, enslaved, or imprisoned.

Those who speak for the Erdtree don't want you to know its roots, so to speak.

According to the spell, protection of the Erdtree, in the beginning everything was in opposition to the Erdtree, but through countless victories in war,

it became the embodiment of order.

In Marika's own words, the earth tree governs all.

The choice is thine.

Become one with the order, or divest thyself of it.

To wallow at the fringes, a powerless upstart.

But the greater will needed more than a big tree, it needed loyal agents in the lands between.

To this end, it has the Two Fingers, who are its envoys.

The Two Fingers' heirloom has a weird picture of them, but it reads, Of course, fingers cannot speak, yet these are eloquent.

Persistently they wriggle, spelling out mysteries in the air.

Thus did we gain the words, the words of our faith.

These words are interpreted by the finger readers.

These are the undying old crones that you would have found throughout the Lands Between.

They pass down the wisdom of the two fingers.

Or at least, they used to.

Your fingers.

Please, your fingers.

I can't read them.

Most of them appear to have lost their purpose, and they're desperate to read your fingers and tell you annoying riddles,

since their two fingers are likely dead.

And yes, of course, there are multiple sets of two fingers.

You would have found their corpses on the tops of the Divine Towers.

Atop these towers, you loot the fingers in order to activate the true power of a great rune.

Specifically, you are giving benediction back to your great rune.

You're taking a blessing back from the two dead fingers.

This is just one of many blessings that the two fingers can bestow.

And my point is that the two fingers clearly have more than just influence.

They have real power on some level.

The Greater Will needs these powerful envoys and agents because while it's obviously incredibly powerful, it does seem limited by a few things.

First is space.

The Greater Will didn't come to the lands between itself.

It sent an Elden Beast to do its bidding instead.

Second is time.

There is a moment later in the game where your pair of two fingers go still

because they're forced to commune with the Greater Will for guidance.

When they are finished, the fingers will again offer their guidance.

But thousands, if not tens of thousands of moons must first pass, no matter for me.

But you, how will you ever manage the weight?

So the greater will needs a physical manifestation of order.

It needs envoys to convey its will, but what it also needs is a god.

Introducing Marika the Eternal.

I have this utterly enormous mind map of Elden Ring's lore, and there's a reason she's at the center.

She's essentially the equivalent of Gwyn from Dark Souls.

Except unlike Gwyn, Marika didn't just crawl out of the dark and find power.

To an extent, it seems like she earned it.

But we don't know much about her origins, except that she is of the Numen race,

which is actually an origin that you can choose in the character selection screen.

Numen come from outside the lands between, and are supposed descendants of denizens of another world.

Long lived, but seldom born.

At some point, Marika was chosen as an Empyrean.

What is an Empyrean?

An Empyrean is a being chosen by the fingers, as a candidate for godhood.

100

As an Empyrean, Marika received the aid of a shadow to do her bidding.

101

So what is a shadow?

102

Well, it's a wolf, shadowbound to its Empyrean by the two fingers.

103

Lunar Princess Rani is another example of an Empyrean with a shadowbound beast.

104

You would have met Blythe.

105

These creatures are the Empyrean's very own shadow.

106

They are completely loyal to their needs and, by definition, incapable of treachery.

107

Marika's shadow was a beast called Malaketh.

108

Every Empyrean uses their shadow in different ways, but Marika's sole need of her shadow was as a vessel to lock away destined death.

109

So what is destined death?

110

Well, according to Enya, it's the rune of death.

111

The rune of death goes by two names.

112

The other is destined death.

113

We mentioned earlier that the Elden Ring is made up of runes, and at some point, maybe when she was chosen as a god,

114

Marika plucked the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring.

115

She gave the Rune of Death to Malekith, her totally loyal shadow, who bore a black blade imbued with this rune.

116

It's kind of genius, really.

117

In a single act, she removed the concept of death from the Lands Between, while also commanding total control of death through her shadow,

118

who could deliver it at her whim.

119

Now, some of you might be asking, if death is removed from the Lands Between, how come I can kill this dog?

120

First off, shame on you.

121

Second, from a lore point of view, that dog isn't really dead.

122

It's simply in the process of its spirit or soul returning to the Erd Tree.

123

Catacomb dungeons, for example, are specifically constructed near the roots of the Great Tree for this reason,

124

so that the Erd Tree can reabsorb their ashes back into it.

125

This process replaced the concept of a death that you were destined to have.

126

But this random spirit outside of a catacomb dungeon says it best.

127

As another example of this theory, when you kill a major boss, you receive a remembrance of them.

128

These are spirits, and they are hewn into the Erdtree.

129

In this way, thanks to the Erdtree's grace, their spirits are immortalized, in a sense.

130

This new form of death also explains what's happening when you summon spirits from ash and return to the Erd Tree.

131

However, some spirits never return to the Erd Tree and they rise within death as corpses or skeletons instead.

132

So this was the new order.

133

And it's important to stress that it was in this moment, when the Rune of Death was removed, When Destin Death was taken,

134

this is when Order became the Golden Order.

135

The forbidden shadow plucked from the Golden Order upon its creation.

136

Specifically, this was Marika's Golden Order.

137

So not only did she become a god and a vessel for the Elden Ring,

138

she became renowned as Marika the Eternal for her removal of Destin Death.

139

It was a huge part of her character and her reign as well.

140

However, Marika had more than just death to conquer, she had wars to fight,

141

as the world was occupied by many forces that could threaten her golden order.

142

There was war with the Stormlord, who likely ruled over Stormvale, and there was a war with the Giants,

143

who were masters of a flame that could burn the Erdtree, there was war with the ancient dragons,

144

who incidentally had stones that could twist time and thus slay a god, and finally there was war brewing with the Carrion royalty,

145

who had previously obeyed laws which contravened the Golden Order.

146

Thus, similar to how the Greater Will needed an Empyrean to enforce its will, Marika needed someone to wage war.

147

So, there was to be a husband, a consort, an Elden Lord.

148

The man chosen was Hora Lu, a ferocious warrior who became known as the Lord of the Battlefield.

149

His crown was warranted with strength, and while it was for this strength that Marika married him,

150

he was also required to take a vow to conduct himself as a lord.

151

To suppress the ceaseless lust for battle that raged within, Horolu took the Beast Regent Sorosh upon his back.

152

You'll notice this is another example of a beast being given for the purpose of serving order.

153

Thus, in this moment, he went from being Horolu, warrior, to Godfrey, the first Elden Lord,

154

consort to Queen Marika, and a certified demigod.

155

Godfrey and Marika had three demigod children together.

156

There was Godwin the Golden, who you saw being killed in the opening trailer, and there were also the reviled Omen twins.

157

Morgoth, who guards the Erdtree, and Moog, who became

158

Lord of Blood.

159

You might think that Godric was another demigod child, but he actually wasn't.

160

Instead, he was probably descended from Godwin.

161

Anyway, we'll talk about the demigods more in detail in another video, so subscribe for that.

162

But for now, just know that Godfrey and his offspring were the first demigods, henceforth known as the Golden Lineage.

163

In his wars, Godfrey led his 16 Crucible Knights into battle, who were named so for they fought with the primordial powers of the Erdtree.

164

Their incantations were aspects of the Crucible itself, and they likely fought giants,

165

dragons, the Stormlord, and more to usher in their age, the age of the Erdtree.

166

In Marica's own words, Hark, brave warriors.

167

Hark, my lord Godfrey.

168

We commend your deeds.

169

Guidance hath delivered ye through each ordeal to the place ye stand.

170

Put the giants to the sword and confine the flame atop the mount.

171

Let a new epoch begin, an epoch glistening with life.

172

Brandish the Elden Ring for the age of the Erdtree.

173

The Erdtree would go on to be largely seen as a blessing for all of those in the lands between,

174

especially those close to it in Lainedell, the capital city of the Erdtree.

175

The tree bestowed blessings.

176

For example, the dew that dropped from its branches were like jewels.

177

It loomed overhead as a constant reminder of order and its roots reached far and wide, relieving many of the burden of death.

178

In fact, Erdtree burial was one of the highest honors a hero could receive.

179

One by one, the previous factions of the world fell.

180

The giants were put to the sword and their Fel God was killed by Marika herself.

181

The ancient dragons broke down the walls of Laendell but met fierce retaliation.

182

However, I think the House of the Erdtree encountered the most trouble against the land to their southwest, Lyonia.

183

Here the House of the Moon repelled their offensives time and time again.

184

And I mean that literally, because there was not just one

185

But two wars fought here, and in both of these, there was no victory for the Golden nor for the Moon.

186

And I suspect it was probably because of these lobsters.

187

These damn things can snipe you from like a mile away, and it's bullsh - Actually, it was probably because of the Carrion Knights,

188

who, according to their weapons, were able to wield sorceress battle skills, and despite numbering fewer than 20,

189

this power made them a match for even the champions of gold in battle.

190

These enchanted knights were anointed by the Lunar Queen, a young astrologer who went on to establish the House of Caria as royalty in this land.

191

With her bewitching lunar magic, she won over the Academy of Raya Lucaria, where glintstone sorcery was studied, and united.

192

The Carian royal family and the learned scholars of Raya Lucaria defended their home from the Golden Aggressors.

193

At the head of this great golden army was Radagon.

194

Lord Radagon was a great champion, possessed of flowing red locks.

195

He came to these lands at the head of a great golden host, when he met

196

Lady Rinala in battle.

197

These two champions clashed, fell in love, and joined their houses.

198

Radagon once cleansed himself with Celestial Dew, repented his territorial aggressions, and swore his love to Rinala.

199

The order of the Erdry and the fate of the moon were conjoined, and all the wounds of war forgiven.

200

You might think it's strange that the greater will would permit this union, but it's not too odd, all things considered.

201

As with most

202

From Software games, sorcery and faith are just two sides of the same coin, and both of these powers stem from the cosmos.

203

Radagon and Rinala were known to have three children together.

204

Lunar Princess Rani, who inherited her mother's propensity for lunar magic.

205

Radan, who took after his father Radagon and would go on to master gravitational magic.

206

And Rikard, who pioneered new hex sorceries and would go on to feed himself to a great serpent.

207

It follows that at some point after this, Marika began to harbor doubts.

208

Doubts about the Golden Order that she had had a hand in creating.

209

In Marika's own words, I declare mine intent to search the depths of the Golden Order through understanding of the proper way.

210

Our faith, our grace is increased.

211

Those blissful early days of blind belief are long past.

212

My comrades, why must ye falter?

213

And it's at this point that we should talk about Marika's motivations, her character.

214

This is surely going to be one of those huge points of debate in the coming years.

215

But for now, my working theory is that she wanted to discover the truth behind order

216

and the truth behind the greater will and she believed

217

that bonds had to be broken so that they could be better understood.

218

She believed that there was great meaning to be found in hardship.

219

Queen Marquez, high hopes for us that we continue to struggle.

220

Unto eternity.

221

For Lord Godfrey, his struggle ended at the end of his campaigns.

222

According to his armor, he led the war against the Giants, faced the Storm Lord alone and then there came a moment

223

when his last worthy enemy fell and it was then as the story is told

224

that the hue of lord godfrey's eyes faded in truth

225

he was robbed of his grace then marica sent him away my lord

226

and thy warriors i divest each of thee of thy grace with thine eyes dimmed

227

Ye will be driven from the lands between.

228

Ye will wage war in a land afar,

229

where ye will live and die." This became known as the Long March of the Tarnished,

230

as Godfrey and his tarnished descendants walked away from the lands between.

231

But Queen Marica absolutely had a plan here,

232

that Lord godfrey and his descendants would one day return stronger having struggled outside of grace then

233

after thy death i will give back what i once claimed return to the lands between wage war

234

and brandish the elden ring grow strong in the face of death warriors of my lord lord godfrey

235

Soon after, she found a new husband.

236

Either that, or a new husband was found for her.

237

When Godfrey, First Elden Lord, was hounded from the lands between, Radigan left Rinala to return to the Erdtree capital,

238

becoming Queen Marika's second husband and king consort, taking the title of Second Elden Lord.

239

The mystery endures to this day as to why

240

Lord Radagon would cast

241

Lady Rinala aside, and moreover, why a mere champion would be chosen for the seat of Elden Lord.

242

Whatever the case, as a part of this union, Radagon's prior three children with Rinala became demigod stepchildren,

243

granted grace thanks to their new family tree.

244

Rinala was broken by this, and so was her country, Leornia.

245

The queen's set reads, When Rinala, head of both the Academy of Raya Lucaria and the Carrion royal family,

246

lost her husband Radagon, her heart went along with him.

247

And then those at the academy realized that Rinala was no champion after all.

248

In the wake of Radagon's betrayal and Rinala's poor judgment, Leonia struggled with civil war,

249

with the Academy of Raya Lucaria on one side and the Carrion Royals on the other.

250

And it's here, during the Age of the Erd Tree, that Lunar Princess Rani, daughter of Rinala and Radagon,

251

stole a fragment of the Rune of Death.

252

It happened during the Golden Age of the Erd Tree, long before the shattering of the Elden Ring.

253

Someone stole a fragment of the rune of death from Maleketh, the Black Blade.

254

As mentioned previously, Maleketh was Marika's shadow, and he had sealed

255

Destined Death in a black blade.

256

Then a fragment, only a fragment, of this rune of death was stolen.

257

And once this happened, Maleketh went a step further in protecting Destined Death.

258

He bound the blade within his own flesh such that none might rob death ever again.

259

It was too late, however.

260

This fragment of the Rune of Death was used immediately that night to kill a demigod, Marika's own son, Godwin the God.

261

That was the first recorded death of a demigod in all history, and it became the catalyst.

262

Soon, the Elden Ring was smashed and thus sprang forth the war known as the Shattering.

263

Now, there is a lot of really credible evidence

264

that Marika was behind this plot to have a fragment of the Rune of Death stolen.

265

There's also a ton of evidence that Marika is behind the entirety of your tarnished quest, but we'll talk about that in another video for now.

266

All you really need to know, in terms of the timeline at least, is this.

267

After the marriage of Marika and Radagon, and after a fragment of the Rune of Death was stolen, Marika went on to shatter the Elden Ring,

268

and Radagon attempted to repair it.

269

To no avail.

270

The Elden Ring had been broken into ruins, some great and some small.

271

You know, it's said that

272

Lord Radagon harbored a secret.

273

A famed sculptor of the Erdtree capital was once summoned to render

274

Lord Radagon's likeness in giant statue, when he glimpsed the skeleton in Radagon's closet.

275

And as such, it's said, the great statue harbors his secret too." Of course,

276

the huge twist in Elden Ring is that Radagon is Marika.

277

Or, depending on what you believe, he became her.

278

For she knew it was going to happen.

279

In Marika's own words, O Radigan, Leal Hound of the Golden Order, Thou art yet to become me,

280

Thou art yet to become a god.

281

Let us be shattered, both mine other self.

282

You can tell when From Software is keeping something a little bit open -ended, and of everything in Elden Ring's lore,

283

this will also go on to be one of the biggest unknowns as we move forward.

284

For example, the wording, Thou art yet to become me, reinforces that Marika and Radagon were two separate entities before the Shattering.

285

However, in contrast, there is also evidence that Radagon was always part of Marika.

286

For example, Enya says that, The demigods are each and all the direct offspring of Queen Marika.

287

But how can this be if Radagon married Rinala and had those demigod children?

288

The only way that makes sense is if Radagon was always Marika

289

and he just went over there to seduce Renala long ago.

290

I'll present more concrete theories in the future, but on this matter, the most important thing is, what do you think?

291

While you can figure out a ton of Elden Ring's story, not all of it is open to interpretation.

292

Certain things are, and this is one of them.

293

And your interpretation is a big part of what makes this story special.

294

At any rate, the union of Radagon and Marica seems to be a union of two fundamental opposing laws of the Golden Order.

295

We mentioned these laws earlier, actually.

296

There's the law of causality, and Marica is an agent of cause and effect.

297

And there's the law of regression, as Radagon is a character who aspires to be complete and regress together.

298

So I have a theory that forcing these two beings that represent these concepts together would have corrected Marika's deviance.

299

But even so, she was imprisoned in the Erdtree for the crime of the shattering.

300

Marika's trespass demanded a heavy sentence, but even in shackles, she remains a god and the

301

The conjoined Radagon and Marika even had two demigod children of their own, Mickela and Melenia.

302

These two children were born afflicted.

303

Mickela was cursed with eternal childhood, and Melenia harbored a horrific rot within.

304

Even so, these two children were both chosen as Empyreans.

305

They were immensely sacred beings, and eligible to inherit godhood from the Greater Will.

306

Perhaps the Greater Will was just desperate to find a worthy successor, and indeed in the shattering war to come,

307

many would try to claim the Shards of the Elden Ring, and they would try to take the throne, including of course the Tarnished,

308

who returned from their long march at long last, which we'll talk about in the next main lore video.

309

I should probably also mention here that if you become a patron, you'll see upcoming lore videos early,

310

as that's of the rewards you get if you pledge to the $3 tier. And

311

if you think my channel really adds a lot of value

312

to the Souls games for you to the point where you pledge $20, then in this new tier you'll receive a new mug every three months

313

that has a unique design on it to do with the games by FromSoftware.

314

There are four to collect.

315

The first one you'll get is inspired by Dark Souls, then Elden Ring, then Sekiro, and finally Bloodborne.

316

And they all have fantastic art that I worked on with an amazing artist named Chu.

317

But anyway, I figured this is the right place to end this video, because the information here is going to be overwhelming.

318

I bet it probably was too overwhelming, you know?

319

It took me ages to commit these names and the relationships they had with other characters to memory, so I hope you guys are doing alright.

320

One thing that helped me a lot was

321

that we designed an enormous mind map with pretty much all of Elden Ring's lore.

322

All of its item descriptions, all of its dialogues, all of the relationships between characters that we can think of.

323

We added all of this together and it helped a ton in learning about the story and visualizing it all.

324

And one day I will make this asset available to you all because I think after doing it,

325

I think this is the quintessential way to piece together the story.

326

And I think giving you guys this asset eventually will make that accessible for people.

327

So I'm really excited about that.

328

I want to thank Absa

329

and Zard for accepting the paid task of helping me put all the raw data into this mind map

330

so that I could better understand everything.

331

I want to thank Parigod for fulfilling all of my footage requests

332

and creating so many cinematic scenes for this video and for you all to enjoy.

333

And I last of all want to thank John Devlin for the incredible thumbnail.

334

And of course, thank you for watching.

335

There are some really exciting things ahead

336

and I actually believe this might be the best story that FromSoftware have ever put together.

337

I just think not only are there so many amazing item descriptions, but so many of them are impactful.

338

There are so many moments where you piece together the story

339

and have like a Eureka moment and I'm enjoying it so much.

340

But now I'm gonna go and play the game a little bit because I've been editing this video for too long.

341

So, see you next time.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
