i love wikipedia and i think it is good and right to give them money but all their funding drive messages are “well… we’ll be killing ourselves tonight. we asked so little of you and yet it seems that simply nobody cares about lil ol wikipedia anymore….sad…”

Seeing a lot of theories about why the Hornsent Grandam says Marika "betrayed" them and I still think what makes the most sense is that...the Hornsent were at some point blessed by grace?

"Those stripped of the grace of gold shall all meet death in the embrace of Messmer's flame."

Except, all the tarnished left the Lands Between, so...who's left, stripped of the grace of gold? Who does Messmer fight and kill?

It's not spelled out specifically, of course, and it's almost awkward for no one to say that specifically. But I'd say it's heavily implied; otherwise Messmer's iconic line makes zero sense.

It's possible certainly that they had grace before Marika's ascension and that in making the Erdtree she robbed them. She did make the Erdtree from the Crucible, with the help of the Fingers of course.

I have to wonder whether the seduction and betrayal meant her seduction of the hornsent, though. The Two-Fingers chose her as an empyrean, and they put themselves forth as speaking for the Greater Will, the apparent source of life on...Earth? The planet? Just the Lands Between? At any rate, an implied supreme authority above all else. There's no direct evidence of the Hornsent ever worshipping the two-fingers, so it seems a lot like Marika's coup might also have been theirs in a sense.

(Whatever role the Elden Ring plays, we know it came from the Elden Beast and the Greater Will. Who imprisoned who, who tricked who, and what everyone gets out of this arrangement is very difficult to sus out.)
