Liurnia of the Lakes, Laskyar Ruins & lake shore

That scene from Cars but Elden Ring 🐊

Bonus under the cut

[izar-tarazed]

Back then in Liurnia, Izar and Ensha—astrologer and guard; the one who liked to stray off her path and the one who always followed his orders—kept their safe, cautious distance from each other. Neither of them had chosen this mission; neither of them wanted to be here, and least of all in the other’s company. And so, the distrust hanging between them felt as heavy as the mist over Liurnia’s lake.

There had been failures, before, on Ensha’s end: first in that village, later at the Hold. He had believed a moment of surprise to be enough—lurking in the graceless shadows of the hall that evening, his task plain and simple: to take out the astrologer. She was inexperienced. Not a fighter. It should have been easy. Instead, he had found himself tripped, then knocked down by the cracking impact of a pot, engulfed by the heavy scent of Trina’s Lily. Knocked out. Spared.

How dare she spare me.

He was still angry when they made their way towards the Laskyar ruins and past them. Angry with her for besting him without skill and letting him live. Angry with himself for having failed. Angry with Sir Gideon for tasking him with the most obnoxious and humilliating job ever: to keep an eye on the astrologer, and protect her… for the time being.

(Angry, too, with Liurnia being Liurnia with its cursed lake and humidity and murky water up to his ankles.)

Nevertheless, Ensha told himself he would be fine. It was just this one mission. They’d find the Albinauric woman, and extract the information, and this time he’d kill the astrologer—no tripping, no sleep pot—, and everything would go back to normal.

Everything.

He was, of course, very wrong.

[hoarah-babylon]

discussion in the chat of quelaag's lore stream reminded me of a little lore theory i had a while ago about why Liurnia is sinking - i always thought this was because of the Carian connection to the moon because the moon controls tides 🌕

someone else suggested it was because of mining for glintstone it basically turned the ground into a bog, which makes sense!! but i like my idea better because it's more whimsical and magic teehee

Church of Irith

It took me a moment to get my bearings, make sure i was fully back on this plane of reality. i took a few looks off the side of the tower to see what I could see. Most of it wasn't worth writing about. Unusual, to be fair, but I categorized it as "I'll get to it when I get to it."

Now, when I looked out to the northeast... that was something worth looking at.

another tower, north of Caelid, all on its own. Interesting enough, but behind it...was that a waterfall? A waterfall in the ocean? I remembered that a few times I had seen something weird in the central sea, but to see it confirmed like this... I'll have to get a closer look when I visit Caelid again, something I'm not in any hurry to do.

I returned Liurnia of the Lakes and headed towards the nearest landmark: A church called the "Church of Irith."

Hm. That name. It brought to mind another life. A cold valley bathed in moonlight. A corrupt pontiff. A princess in a tower. The sun realm up above.

The connections were vague here, except that this was a land of the moon, at the foot of the land of the sun.

After picking up the sacred tear, I noticed a man sitting on a bench near the statue. He was one of those guys who just radiates sadness. Not just because he's sad, which he certainly is, but because he makes you sad just looking at him. Like this is someone who has never caught a break in his entire life.

He introduced himself as Thops and said that he'd give me information for a small donation of runes. I was expecting him to be underplaying it, but no. He wanted ten runes. Ten?! That'll hardly get you a meal. I think sheep have more runes than that. Just how hard-up is this guy?

He offered to sell me spells too. Nothing too impressive, but I bought one just out of pity. After that, he told me that i needed a glintstone key to get into the academy, and that he...left his inside. Jeez.

I had to leave him alone before I started spiraling into depression. The man just had a cloud over him. I headed somewhere a little more cheery, like the graveyard.

The skeletons here were a bit more dangerous than elsewhere. Some of them were death sorcerers who summoned skulls with their scythes, while others were hulks with axes that must have been executioners in life. The latter took three pots of holy water to fell, so I might need to think of a new strategy.

I found an Academy Scroll resting on one of the graves. I couldn't decipher it so I took it to Sellen. She informed me that this was typically the place where a "bluntstone" stopped learning. Thops had used the same word to describe himself. I wonder if this was his scroll? Perhaps he left the Academy to visit a friend's grave? That sounds right. It makes him sadder.

Well, not a lot to do here, but it was a good start to my journey through my homeland.

Why did they lock down the academy?

A fanart of a location in one of my favourite games through out the last couple of years. This is Liurnia of the Lakes, from the game Elden Ring.

I've seen plenty of fanarts of different characters from the game, but not that often tributes to the locations/environments.

Flowers, spikelets and grasses on Liurnia's Lake

I especially like faint red flowers that blooms among the water lilies.

Sorcerer Build Guide

(screenshot is mine)

this is my first post for some build guides i'm gonna do. keep in mind these are just what i play as, and are just suggestions. do what works best for you!

General recs followed by in-depth explanations

Main stats

Vigor (max 55)

Mind (at least 50)

Intelligence (80)

Dexterity (60)

Other good stats to level up

arcane (at least 20)

endurance (around 30)

Weapons

Carian regal scepter +10

Moonveil +10

Bastard's stars +10

Talismans

Godfrey Icon

Graven-Mass

Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

Ancestral Spirit's Horn

Wonderous Physick Crystal Tears

Magic-shrouding cracked tear

Crimson bubbletear

Stats

Vigor: after 55, the payoff for vigor decreases dramatically. It’s much more worth it to invest more points in your offensive stats and use a rune arc or talismans to increase your health

int & dex: i always like to have a back-up offensive stat, and dex pairs so well with int for moonveil and because it increases the casting speed. if you're lower leveled though, definitely focus on getting int up first and just use radagon's icon for faster casting speed until your dex is higher

end: i kept running into the problem where i couldn't cast so frequently because i didn't have enough stamina. i prefer to have my end at least 30 so that i'm not constantly running out. the green pickled turtle neck that increases stamina regen speed is a good thing to use until you can spare the points for this stat

arc: i like arcane because some weapons scale with it (albeit poorly) and it does get your discovery up. we love finding things!

Weapons

Carian regal scepter and moonveil, both +10, is a must for a good sorcerer build. you could use lusat's glintstone staff, but it consumes a lot more fp than the regal scepter. moonveil is amazing for pvp and just about any enemy you can think of. for enemies immune to bleed and slash damage, i like to use bastard's stars for its magic damage and insane skill.

Talismans

Since you'll likely be using moonveil's skill a lot, godfrey's icon is great since it'll give you even more damage. it also enhances charged spells, so overall this talisman is a must if you want to focus on damage output. the same goes with the graven-mass talisman. it significantly improves the damage of your spells. it is a late-game talisman though, and its counterpart, graven-school talisman, will work fine until you reach it. rotten sword insignia also focuses on damage output, since it increases the power of successive attacks. this can work great if you're volleying bosses or pvp.

i like to focus on damage output, but you could definitely use some more defensive talismans including the dragoncrest greatshield talisman.

ancestral spirit's horn is a must, and will do you so many favors in co-op and in your build overall. you do have to progress a bit through Ranni's quest to get to the area it's in, but it is worth it. it replenishes 3 points of fp for each enemy killed, and it really adds up after a while. starlight shards are so rare that i don't really like to use them, and this talisman kind of negates their existence. the only time this talisman won't make a difference is when you're using intensive spells on a lot of enemies, since it won't make too much of a difference how much fp you have.

Wonderous physick crystal tears

I like to use the crimson bubbletear since my armor rating isn't very high given the low endurance. this tear has saved me in so many boss fights and given me the edge i need to win first try.

the magic-shrouding crystal tear is offensive and increases the damage output of your spells for a certain time. i find it very useful when i'm dealing with a boss with a massive hp bar, since it can help me to quickly get it down to almost half health in the beginning of the fight.

the cerulean crystal tear is great too, since it eliminates all fp consumption for a time. i only find this useful in pvp since it is so easy to run out of fp in those fights. the ancester's horn talisman is obsolete in pvp since you're not getting enough deaths to replenish your fp. i like to use the cerulean crystal tear when i am on my last leg in pvp, and it has saved me a few times

hope you enjoyed!
