If Loretta wasn't an albinauric herself, then perhaps she honed her archery by learning from their wolf-riding archers. They are quite formidable.

I hope to God you’ve chosen voice over work as a career. Excellent video.

re: Loretta, I like to think that while she wasn't herself an albinauric, she saw their poor treatment and was moved to protect them from her former masters. Mostly just cause it'd be nice to see another kind-hearted person in the narrative (and making her death and the failing of the Halig tree all the sadder). My friend also put forth their own headcanon that she can't walk as a disability so she went to learn from the first-gen albinaurics, which is where they gained her sympathy and eventual protection.

Good god your voice is smoother than caramel.

This was a lot of fun to watch! I like the idea of taking the questions that can be answered quickly and making a compilation video like this and spinning the bigger questions into full videos

Absolutely loving the videos, also helps with having the perfect voice for explaining lore, keep ‘em coming!

this woman needs to do audio books or some shit like that, her voice is amazing.

I love the attention to japanese translations! Sometimes some important lore gets lost there like Ranni’s monologue during her ending

You're videos just keep getting better and better. Loved the ad integration. Very clever.

Thank you for digging deeper into this lore, I came across all this and some notes through out the lands between and they're so vague by comparison to how you decipher it all

Thank you for answering these questions! Hopefully the “official” guide will help us further when they release it!

One of the only creators that can make me pick up the game for another NG+ Thanks so much and great job on the channel so far!

You're one of my newer favorite channels. Your voice is so dang calming, I could listen to you talk about anything.

Enjoyed the video! That ad break was really clever!

Anyone else enjoy just listening to various lore channels and other stuff like this? It’s so relaxing for me

This made me like Nial even more even though I knew nothing about him. Thanks for giving me reason to respect him!

This was an amazing video I hope you plan on doing more I have many questions 1- fias baby 2-the dragon Kin soldier origins are they like magma wyrms? 3-is Milicent related to melania or just a piece of her fragmented ego after she cast aside her pride and sanity to combat radahns overwhelming might 4- is the elden beast the true form of the ending ring or a parasite/avatar of the greater will if you look at radagons model the elden ring looks alot like the elden beast especially forwards the bottom where it greatly resembles the tail 5-dragon lord placidusax do we know what outer god he served at all? Did he have 5 heads or 4? 6-if every empyrean has a beast shadow Marika has maliketh and ranni has blaidd where is the beasts for melania and miquella........dlc?

4:35 Really nice deduction miss, you have a very nice approach to the lore, simple and meaningful to the source materials

Wow, fantastic job! I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. I've already found myself watching videos on topics I already know about simply because of how phenomenal your delivery is. Your script and voice are perfect. You've definitely garnered a new subscriber. Please keep up the fantastic work 😁!

My favorite kind of souls content, a soft spoken mega nerd informing me of all the things I have missed in these massive games. 10/10

So relaxing and at the same time soo informative. Thank you.

AGH 4:00 you’re so right!!! Never thought about his reforge but this is SO COOL!

I could watch your Elden Ring lore videos, all day! Plus, you are unbelievably easy on the eyes! Keep 'em, coming, Miss!

One of the finest composed lore videos on Elden Ring I've seen! Subscribed, and soon to check out other uploads

i do quite enjoy the melodic structure of the videos. your voice is admittedly sweet and it makes for good background stories

The channel Smoughtown did a great video on the ancient dragons and in it he explains the biblical connection Dragon communion and the Wyrms have. The mention of the Wyrms being cursed to crawl the earth on their bellies is a direct reference to Genesis, where the serpents were cursed to forever crawl on their bellies for deceiving Eve. It just drives home that the transformation into wyrms is the result of the warriors attempting to circumvent their natural place and reach above their station. They wanted to fly with the dragons and instead have to crawl in the dirt forever.

I'm glad to have been here love the content and hope to see more cosplays and wonderful lore telling!

Can’t wait to see your takes on the lore from other stories! This format works really well for FromSoftware, but I’m sure we would tune in for any topic.

Just found your channel! Thank you soooo much for explaining this game! I just got into it, but it’s my first Demon soul type game! I really love the lord, but it can be confusing! You’ve cleared a lot of it for me!! Thank you Miss Chalice!! Love your channel now!!

Love these videos so high quality thanks for another great upload, interested to see what you cover next.

It's actually wild to think that, maybe the elden ring wasn't always inside Marika/Radagon, and that it could be there because it's using the 'mesh' of Radagon to hold it together, especially since in earlier depictions of the elden ring such as in farum azula, the elden ring doesn't appear to have the cross hatch pattern behind it (unless I'm not seeing it).

I legit listen to you for hours talking about anything . But really loving the lore of Elden Ring!

Lore of Elden Ring and videos to sleep to. Closing my eyes at night and listening to your voice and words that depict and describe the lands between and its characters that fill those lands and places...and your voice that lulls and soothes gently and softly like fall of a single snowflake. I am absolutely in love with your videos. Thank you so much! Keep up the awesome work!

I really love your videos, entertaining but also has an ASMR quality to them!

I’ve always wondered what’s the deal with the golems and why there’s one on a ledge overlooking the red dunes where you fight Radahn.

Worth noting that Castle Sol's heraldry, an eclipse with the sun specifically appearing to bleed a line of light, visually resembles the form of a needle, with an eye at the top and a long shaft emerging from it. This seems to imply, at least to me, that Miquella may well have been the one who commissioned the castle in the first place, especially given the name directly relates to the purpose he was to use it for: a ritual involving the sun. Also, as has been noted by Tarnished Archaeologist, the Haligtree has many statues symbolically representing Miquella as an adult with a massive staff which appears to be in the form of a needle, and at least one of them depicts him walking amongst the roots of the Erdtree. Given the Erdtree's roots are deeply infected by Deathroot, and he is building a new sacred tree, it would appear that his intent is to use his sacred needles' capacity to eliminate the influence of outer gods to eliminate the power of the Rune of Death (which probably draws from the death god that is the patron of the birds with the same name) at the Deathroots' source: that is, that he intends to stab Godwyn the Golden's body and purify his body of the infection. Given the fact that there is a superstition/folk understanding that stabbing a tree with copper nails will kill it in its roots, he may well understand that this might kill the Erdtree in the process; thus, perhaps, he might have planted the Haligtree with the understanding it might need to be a replacement.

I’m interested in seeing if there’s some lore or cut content of a connection between rani and rykard. It’s hinted they may have at one point worked together against the golden order.

Love the content!! I've got one for you. This could be a lore question but also something of a mechanics question. What do you think "Arcane" is actually? So to compare -Sorceries require Intelligence because sorceries are like a science in Elden Ring, attaining power and insight from the stars with glintstones as conduits. Faith is power derived from divine ritual/practice, attunement to "higher" powers and affinity for channeling these sources of power like the Erdtree or Frenzy Flame. But so then...what is Arcane? Arcane is linked to the albinaurics, poison, bleed, occult damage, but also bloodflame incantations/blood sorceries and Dragon Communion. I guess its like the "dark arts" or occult magic? Would love your thoughts

7:31 “But someone came along and *defaced* them” Lol

4:26 That's really interesting ! About Godrick the Grafted, I often heard that it was too bad that this whole concept of grafting was kind of a miss, that we only hear about it in the beginning of the game and never after. But this kind of theory about Radagon's attempt to graft the ring in some way is a really cool link to Godrick's !

I love your vids. Glad to see you back! Maybe next q&a you can talk a little about what in the hell is happening in Dominula?

I thought Marika/Radagon was the elden ring and that's why their body is shattered. In the begining scene when they are hammering their body starts to crack.

The segue to the ad was amazing

I always wondered about these obscure little details in the lore. Great video keep up the good work.👍

Miss Chalice I love your voice and videos so much. I would love to listen to you talk about Placidusax, the dragon God, the other ancient dragons (maybe in comparison to the present day dragons, who appear almost as a different species) and the beautiful Farum Azula. Congratulations on a new place, I hope you settle in well

These lore presentations are great😏👌 After watching them, they give me those exciting stomach butterflies when I think about coming home to play. Thanks for the content👏

The Elden Ring can be thought of as the computer code for the world, including bits like "humans cannot die" and "this is how gravity works". Every rune you get is a bit that your maiden can rewrite to make you stronger in different ways. Radagon/Merika happens to have a lot left from the original.

Btw the bald monk statues have scars on their faces. Making them the same as the smoldering heads that appeared in limgrave in the early leaked internal footage. I believe either zullie the witch or sekiro dubi also covered them since they were accidentally left in the network test and could be seen from certain loading zones.

OMG! I was having a hard time following the lore for this game, but you make it extremely easy to understand. Thank you for all the great work 😊

Welcome back! Should do a video on the lore of madness including shabriri. Keep up the good work!!

Just discovered your channel today, you have a soft voice that’s nice to listen to!

11:41 I need to really take my time and send you my thoughts somehow, you touch on so many interesting things. Something noteworthy here, imo, is that it’s interesting that Godrick seems to defy his mother at this point in time. He is honoring the dragons and employing the banished knights. Stormveil doesn’t really seem like outskirts, unless we are saying Leyndell is basically civilization itself.

About Radagons Rune, it's seen on the statue and is also seen as the thing that's preventing you from entering the ErdTree before you burn it. Radagon is preventing you from entering the ErdTree

I just discovered your channel. Really loving the videos, and the way you explain the lore of this game is amazing. Greetings from México, hope you have a wonderful day :3

Ah my hunger for lore and asmr has been satisfied, I'm in awe. Subbed :3

The quality of your videos and editing is impeccable 🔥♥️

I enjoy this, I think you should keep doing this when you expand your lore legacy

I like the explanation of the ring been broken so now it make more sense that the runes that we hunt are additional round parts to the present Elden ring, now we can see how we get so many round circles in the Elden ring in Farum. Different than most people that think that the three circles are some of the runes we are hunting now.

There's a symbol of the elden ring in Maliketh's arena. If you take all the great runes and put them together you can make the same symbol with what we see inside Radagon.

That bald statue that you showed... That looked very much like lunar princess ranni's Empyrean body. Especially with how the scarf is draped across the shoulders and across the chest. It almost looks exactly like the one found on her corpse the red one.

Your videos explaining lore and answering less important details as in, not the main story or, who are the main characters of the game, are so incredibly appreciated, these lore explanations about certain types of enemies or side missions is just what I've been looking for. your voice is relaxing and is very good for this kinda thing, I'd put you right up there with VaatiVidya honestly haha

It would be great to hear your thoughts on the theory that Sellen might be related to the Carian royal family 😁 as usual, I looove your videos! Please keep it up 🖤

Best ad transition I’ve seen in a while

your voice is soo good to listen to, vaati got some competition xD Great work and keep up these amazing lore videos I even listen to them as ASMR, so cheers for that !.

Blacksmith here. We don't melt down things to repair them. If the item is made out of Iron or Steel, we do something called Forge welding (If you do it the traditional way). It's essentially, you heat up the two parts, and sprinkle some steel filings between them. Then add a flux (Borax or pulverized quarts) Then heat the items up to the point where the metal starts to spark. Then gently hit them and gradually starts to hit harder and harder. This way the metals fuze, and becomes one again. You could also cheat, and just grab a tig welder. But a real blacksmith will not allow sutch wizardry in their forge.

13:47 damn I had not heard this one before, makes complete sense

Radagon's Mesh, or the crisscross pattern is something that is also represented in many Carian and Raya Lucarian Magical seals. Many item descriptions say that Radagon Learnt Magic while he was married to Rennala. It's reflected in the way that a lot of his Incantations are Faith and Intelligence Hybrids. We can assume that the Radagon Mesh is something he learnt from his time with Rennala,An Erdtree Version of the original stargazer magic.

I forget the mask but the mouth of the mask has radagons cross hatching symbol too, and it says it's used as a seal so they cannot speak of secrets or something to that affect

I wouldnt root out the possibility that Lorreta is Albinauric based on the blood alone because were also hitting her horse and what bleeds red is the creature not the knight.

About the pieces of the elden ring, there is a theory I've heard floating around. Even if we were to gather all the great runes and restore it, the current version is likely only a part of an older version of the ring. The runes in Maliketh's arena might be how the elden ring had appeared in a previous age.

That ad really got me, I thought you were going somewhere super profound with that preamble 😂

8:04 ! Now, that's what we call the ever brilliant Miss Chalice:)

You are defiantly going to take off. For several reasons. Mainly you have a great voice, great way of speaking, and great way of forming your scripts. Really good.

Legit the best Elden Ring's videos are on your channel !

The very first statue strangely reminds me of the death ritual spear

0:18 Nah, Patches snuck into the artist’s studio and posed as his model that day. We all know how he likes to mess with clergy 😉 Edit: on a more serious note, as far as the broken ring, many of the pieces also overlap, so it’s possible they were not broken in the way we are thinking, like hitting a pane a glass with a hammer, but more like shaving flat bits off of a sheet of thick paper, so that they could also overlap. 🤷‍♂️

one question i have is the connection between Godrick and Godwyn, both bearing the title of "golden". When we fight the shard bearers, it seems we fight them as they somewhat see themselves. Horuah-loux being one of note who denounces his previous name to fight you. Morgott refers to Godrick as "the godlen" and that boy sure loves gold, but he and his rememberance are of Grafting, the path he chose to make himslef out of like when Marika tells her kids to make something out of themselves. Godwyn, before we know him as the price of death, was called Godwyn the Golden. Now going by his death powers that he earned and had to force himself to adopt, but not golden anymore. Is the title of "golden" a required seat to be filled in the Golden order? if so, what role does it bear in the story? remembrance

Welcome back! This was such a great lore video. I do not think that Loretta herself was an Albunaric. The red blood is too much of a give away, but she might be something like an “Elf Friend” like we see in Lord of the Rings, a human ally or even someone who helped inspire the creation of the Albunarics. We do know they are a created species, and it was likely the Cadian Royal family was behind that. Hmmmmm

Ah... A very good evaluation of every question you've answered. Maybe one day I will pass the title of the all-knowing to you. Keep up the good work you're a true fellow indeed.

Holy moly you just make this game make sense

Great video. Id watch more of these for certain. Also thanks for answering my question. Maybe you know this already, but the giant blistering stone face asset that originally was found in Limgrave, bears the same face as the bald guy statue. I am really under the impression that, at least at some point in development, this person used to be very important to the lore.

Talking about statues, I find those female statues in the pavillions all around the flooded regions of Liurnia to be very intriguing. You can find Smithing Stones in most of these pavillions too...

I'm not sure if it's because Farum Azula exists outside of time, but if you go there you can see stain glass depictions of the full elden ring before it was broken. Its massive compared to anywhere else it's ever depicted.

Happy to see another vid! looking forwards to the next one!

7:52 hands down the best sponsorship segment I’ve ever seen 😂

Love the overall themes running through the game. So many characters were on a predetermined path and eventually came to the conclusion that they were going to decide for themselves what to do with their lives. Pretty inspiring.

I have a theory regarding the eclipse. The symbol of the eclipse does also show up on the shields of the undead mausoleum soldiers and is said to ward off death. Now what does the eclipse resemble? ...... None other than the full cursemark of death. Maybe they tried something similar to Fia, but failed: Create a rune that would modify the Golden Order and allow the dead to live in death.

I would love to see some lore on the great caravan and the flame of frenzy!!!!

Thanks for answering my question! Very awesome insights there!

honestly i would love to have invasions even during boss battles so good

That nord vpn diagram with Gastoc was hilarious

Another hint that teh elden ring we see inside Radagon is not the full ring is that in Malakeith arena we see a relief that shows the full elden ring and has a ton of pieces and extra bits that are nowhere to be found in game

I have been looking into the fire pillars symbols from the Hallowhorn grounds and Siofra river and it seems to me it could be telling the story origin of the ancient followers and of the old men statues seen in Uhl Palace. A theory of mine is that the ancient followers was sorcerers that got rejected, for some reason, by the civilization of their time. They then found the existence of an ancient spirit, as their name says, they became followers and with time they started to convert their magic sorcery into a more nature and wild style, all that, so their souls could keep living forever and free of the problems of civilization. Inverting the symbols order seen in the same fire pillars, the story could be the opposite. The ancient followers could be the past of all astrologers, sorcerers and magic users, but my first hypothesis, seems way cooler to me

I am not going to lie, I knew some of these things, but the ones I didn't... I am very, very surprised. I will give great commendation to the Commander Niall segment in particular. I would never have noticed those connections myself, and I heard nobody else make them until now.

That weird grid-like tree that appears when you say "real life application of grafting" , despite being real life and grafting, its more like a sculpture one guy did once as art, i feel like the theory implies this a standard method of grafting farms use. Fromsoft would only be aware of that if they specifically went trough that wikipedia page

How many times have you played/beaten the game and what is your favorite build?

I have an interesting idea. Perhaps the reason Loretta has albinurac traits while still having red blood, is because the first Gen albinuracs are made from her DNA. This would help explain why she would do something as drastic as leaving her post to hide them at the haligtree

Every time I watch your video it's make me search more about the secret of elden Ring, it's exciting

Until seeing the bald statues in leyendell I always assumed they were statues of miquella since they were holding a tree that I had thought was the haligtree and for why they were bald if a very old man had the appearance of a child then a younger one may have been bald but your theory is way more understandable
