So it turns out none of Godfrey’s kin were evil: morgott wanted to protect the erdtree, his home, mohg wanted to rule an order out of love and just got controlled by Miquella, and Godwyn was basically elden ring Jesus

Fun new fact, marika was actually from a village of shamans who were sortof enslaved by the hornsent. Marika escaped/rebelled and once in power used messmer to enact revenge on the hornsent. She grew a miniature erdtree inside her village despite knowing noone was left alive to see it

Still wild that marika turned into a man to lay the pipe to HERSELF

The new Marika lore is CRAZY tho

i love how Radahn and Ranni aren't Marika and Godfrey's but they're like the new generations of them, Radahn idolizing Godfrey and also having brute strength almost the same as Hoarah and Ranni having her shadow as a doggo

And now we know Mohg was not the Mohglester, and was actually Miquellested

I know absolutely nothing about Dark Souls lore so this was confusing but also interesting

They actually had way more than 3 kids lol. Those dead bodies in the walking mausoleum are demigods that were also killed in the black knife plot. Godrick was a descendant of A demigod that wasn’t the main cast. It is even stated that the deaths of the demigods were innumerable but the one that devastated and meant the most to Marika was Godwyn’s. Also the god skin nobles exist as well wearing garbs made of god flesh.

Marika resented the hornsents, as all crucible related stuff. So she despised godrick's order of crucible knights. Not only that but all children she had with him where affected by the crucible. So by the end of that she probably couldn't even look him in the face anymore, stripped him of grace and sent him to get killed in the fog

Marika must of been livid imagine the decline from birthing godwin to mohg and morgott Then that child makes you proud and is then killed sad 😂😂

You know what i just realized Marika and Pink Diamond from Steven Universe seem to be similar. Fuck up worlds and leave it to someone else to fix

One thing ive often thought, is that the tarnished seem to come from all walks of life, not just Godfreys lot. Coryn, Gideon, Dialos, none of them are from Marikas old lot. So it would seem being blessed by grace wasn't just Marikas doing. We already know Placidusax was the oldest Elden Lord we know of, or likely even just a God of his time. Did he have tarnished? His eldenring was way different looking than Marikas. Same one? Could have been. Starting to seem more like she made another one from what I can see. So the whole story of Tarnished is probably way more ancient than the golden order.

Now i can send this too my friend as she mainly wants to know about the gods and demi gods not my overly long explanation of the different regions and small history bits

People seem to always forget there are more demigods than the named ones. The walking mausoleum's have their soulless bodies.

Lore be so deep. I be ready to watch a movie about this.

Song in the background has beckoned me back to Skyrim

I'm always on the side of the theory that Marika meant for Godfrey to leave so he and his army would come back over day, to recover the else throne

I don’t know which is more crazy to me. The fact that Marika was originally going to become a jar, or that she has a brother who’s a beastmen

If you look in midra’s boss room, there are 3 finger fingerprints burned in the ground

Am I the only one who thought Marika looks like Duchess Satine from Clone Wars?

Godwyn was who Miquella wishes he was

You left out the new lore from the DLC like (spoiler warning) Marika being born in the Shaman village in Hinterland in the realm of shadow and her village being massacred by the Hornsent, and her likely claiming godhood at the gate of divinity in Enir-Ilim

marika was for the steets

Saying her Order endured thanks to Godfrey is an understatement, because he CRUSHED all enemies of the Erdtree with his army, and he crushed them so hard that he had to be nerfed by having Serosh grafted on him to quell his lust for battle and to look and behave as a proper lord. His crusade didn't start easy. The very first threat the Golden Order removed was the giants, and by the looks on the mountain top you can see they stood no chance against his onslaught, from there his crusade made it's way down south until it eventually ended at the border of Caelid where Marika personally stripped Godfrey and all of his men of their grace for reason unknown. However just before they were driven from the Lands Between, the Queen promised him that he and his men shall have their grace returned to them after death

Fun fact the first elden lord was actually placiduasax and Godfrey is the second, radagon is the third and the tarnished is the fourth.

Did you think I wouldn’t recognize the Morrowind theme song in the background? 😏

the thumbnail may me think godfrey got a tattoo of Marika in his back

That's why the golden order is my biggest opp

"The twins *Maleina* and *Meekeela*

So Marika was for the streets of the lands between.

Yo you forgot about Melina the 3rd daughter of Radagon and Marika aka the Kindling Maiden why second Personality is Gloam Eyed Queen.

So what you're saying is killing the old Elden Lord doesn't make you the new one, but tapping Marika and making babies does.

Why does watching this video feels like I am reading a book I just bought from Dorisa Darve in Balmora before going to sleep to level up at Eight Plate Tavern?

merika is a baddiee

Marika being Sant Alessia for 1 minute straight

Correction. Marika and Radagon had 4 children: Miquella, Malenia, Melina, and Messmer

maliketh wasn’t her literal brother, it’s a mistranslation.

St Trina is miquella and miquella is st Trina. I would make sense that when you give something up those emotions turn into a entity itself. Could you imagine splitting all your emotions as a person and what would happen. You’d have two entity that are the same but different because of what they have.

Such a crazy flex to take yourself as your own husband and promote your alter ego so as to hold the highest and second highest positions in the land at the same time

Not true. Marika had at least 3 children with Radagon. We’ve known this for a while.

I don't know the story of the Elden Ring... All I know is BOOM BOOM 💥 Cool weapons and skills...

You know what, Godfrey? You’re better off without her. You and your boys.

Godwyn kinda reminds me of baldur from Norse mythology

Exiling your ex husband because he was a little depressed is wild

Putting Morrowind music under it is wild

Maliketh is not Marika's half-brother, that's a mistranslation. The original meant that Maliketh was like a brother to Marika.

I love the lore, but I can't unhear the skyrim theme in the background

Ngl the picture of the video confused me to Godfrey being such a simp he tattooed queen Marika whole body on his back.

Merica 🫡

Welp the new lore sent to us made me lean more towards the chaos😅

Also any Omen with horns is of royal blood.

Godfrey: *chad vibing Radagon: hah, gae!

Marika: when thy husband loses purpose just marry thyself.

Can’t forget Messmer

Ok the fact that yall asked this question and a 10 minute gaslighting session followed tells you everything you need to know lol

Melina and Mesmer are also Marika’s children.

Marika IS Radagon and vice verse. They’re two forms of the same entity.

As empyrea she got a lot of buff 😂 on certain part 😂

Janet looked like a kindergarten teacher I would look forward to seeing every school day 🥲. It’s so sad she got taken away from her family by a monster.

I feel so accompl by laughing at all the old lore videos. The marriage of Marika and Radagon should always be explained further. Marika did do a selfcest to give birth to Miquella and Malenia. I only wish the DLC had also mentioned the “emotion” that Radagon embodies. Although speculation does lead to obvious answers I guess.

I thought Godfrey got banished because he disagreed with merika when she wanted to snap the horns of mohg and morgot

Bro doesn’t even mention Messmer💀 bro was left out

I honestly want to see a Game of Thrones styled show based on the backstory of Elden Ring

Marika and Radagon had 3 children, not two. Messmer, Melania, and Miquella. We know Messmer is Radagon's child because he, like all of Radagon's children has the signature red hair. Messmer is also confirmed to be Marika's son, so the only possible person that could be Messmer's father is Radagon. On top of that, all of Marika and Radagon's children are cursed; Miquella with eternal youth, Melania with the Scarlet rot, and Messmer was cursed with the Abyssal Serpent. All of the cursed children are the result of the incestuous relationship of Marika and Radagon. No other demigod child exhibits any sort of curse other than Mohg and Morgott, but they aren't actually cursed, they were just born without grace and were thus Omens

ive heard people say she was not always the same as Radagon but the problem i have with that is. if Radagon wasnt always a part of her that she either became to do other things or physically took out of herself to do those things. like Miquella did with St Trina. how come Ranni, Rykard and Radahn became Demi-gods? if he wasnt always one with her. but she is the only god in the lands between (not counting the outer gods or any children of hers yet) how did they become demi gods? Rennala sure as hell isnt a demi god. just a really talented sorcerer

That's my fricking name

Its nice to see that this dlc explains that ascend to godhood changes person. Marika wanted to punish her enemies so shr became a god and then prisoner in erdtree. One can assume now that she shattered elden ring just so tarnished can come and kill her. She was Nor good nor evil

Man so where my familiar when I become Elden lord cuase that ain’t fair man

Marika and Radagon seems to have had 4 kids not 2

So no one's Ganna talk about how Marika and radagon are the same, how radagon split off of Marika and that Marika had children with herself.

I feel bad for mohg now

But marika also apparently had messmer as a kid at some point. The red hair implied it's radagon's kid, but the time in which it happened makes you wonder if it's not just simply a trait of messmer's divine flame. Idk if I'm missing something here but if I am someone please lmk

3 children now with Messmir.

>elden ring lore >hears nerevar rising >confused but happy

Man them twins look like sum serious 😭😭😭🤧

Marika and Radagon had 4 kids not 2, Messmer, Melina, and the twins Miquella and Malenia

There were 4 children born of Radagon and Marika; Melina, Malenia, Messmer, and Miquela

Morgott and Mog 🤫🧏‍♂️

in the end she chooses himself to bear her children...so we can say malenia and miqula are only her pure children

I thought that Placidusax was the first Elden Lord

I wonder if malenia and miq are actually just clones of their "parents" red female and blonde male.

*Frenzied Flames intensifies

I’m pretty sure the rune of death belong to the Godskins and the gloom eyed queen originally

The twins morgott and 🗿

One of the couples also had messmee

3 children between radgaon and marika maybe even 4 if you believe theories.

With radagon she has also messmer

Meliqa is riding torrent?!

funny how marika is radigon

Oh Godfrey how you’ve fallen far from grace

Makes sense a drama queen would shatter the elden ring and dump everyone

Radagon and Marika had three children which is Mesmer

The only evil demigod was prob just goddrick, the rest r defended stuff or just got hit with massive insanity

Bro forgot my Boi Messmer . And I think Godrick is also son of Godfrey

The funny thing is you forgot to mention that radagon and marika are the same person

And Mesmer!!

Correction: Marika and Radagon have THREE children (Possibly 4): Miquella Malenia Messmer It is speculated that Melina is also their child.

In short, Marika wanted revenge. She got the power by becoming a god, then married Godfray and had kids. She used him to remove all opposition to her, then banished him. Origins of Radagon are unknown. I think Marika created him to gain control over the Moon faction of the Lands Between. There she had three kids with the Moon Queen. She then experimented with having a kid with herself but the kids were failed results. She sent one of those kids to get her revenge in her homeland. Around this time, her first kid was killed, who was her only successful results from her experiment, which is probably why she broke the Elden Ring out of maybe anger or resentment or something like that. This was her mistake and led to her downfall. Now related to that, this is just my theory, but I think Melina is like a fragment of Marika. We know spirit creature like Melina are created at the base of the Erdtree. So maybe Marika created her to find a creature or being capable of freeing her from the cage. Because depending on out choice, we can become the elden lord with Marika as the god, we can change our loyalty to Ranni and become the Elden lord or we can destroy this world completely for some new outer god to come and start a new experiment.

I dont understand how is she from the numen lands (even her hammer is made there) and then we find that she is from the shaman village which is referred to as "home" in the golden braid talisman. So the assassins who killed godwyn in the night of black knives who are known for having close ties with her and they were all numen women were shaman too? I just read a comment and it says shaman village is a mistranslation and it means " more like god village or something like that". Also she ascended to became a goddess when she was at the gate of divinity and we know that Godfrey married her when she was already called marika the eternal and the vessel for the elden ringl so when the heck was messmer born cuz radagon is her second husband (ik they're the same person but idk when they became like that, it is stated that the flesh of shamans was said to meld harmoniously with others which makes things even more complicated)

Her and Radagon had more than 2 children
