#redmane knights

[headcanontheshitoutofsoulsborne]

Rykard's creations - the Fingercreepers and the Abductors - were both used by his siblings. Ranni took a single virgin and a gaggle of fingercreepers to her manor as a form of protection from - and rebellion against - the Erdtree and its order. The knights of Redmane managed to collect a single virgin - in the hopes that it, being from Gelmir and also mostly mechanical, would be able to help fight against the Scarlet Rot.

Redmane Fire Pot

Craftable item prepared using a ritual pot. Engraved with the crest of red-maned lion.

Throw at enemies to inflict heavy fire damage.

Even today, the survivors of Radahn's battalion employ fire to stave off the scarlet rot.

My brother and his weird friends just showed up to my realm. AITA if I ask them to leave?

I’ve had no contact with my family for years (not my choice). Until yesterday, when my younger brother showed up to my kingdom of exiles. He’s okay, he kinda looks like our mom so it’s cool. I don’t know the group of misfits with him though. They’re obsessed with my brother and are just ignoring me. It’s super awkward. AITA if I ask my brother to make them leave?

Update 1: My brother cut off his arm in my library.

Update 2: My brother’s friends are trying to use my flesh to start a fire.

Update 3: I will not suffer a lord devoid of light.

Something I really love about Elden Ring compared to the other Souls games is that its story is far more "present" than any of the others. In Demons' and the Dark trilogy, the world is tittering on the edge, all the big and major events have already happened and the major players are either gone or are something less than who they were by the time you show up, at this point you're basically just cleaning up. With Bloodborne, you get to Yahar'gul the first time and there's something off, there's this odd and tense atmosphere, you find this big locked gate but there's nothing you can do. Later you find out that while you were minding your own business killing werewolves, Micolash's people were conducting rituals and you then inadvertently help them pop things off by killing Rom. Seikro has a whole civil war going on in the background, everything Genichiro does is because of this war, but it is not in any way a concern for Wolf.

Elden Ring feels like the first time in these games where you feel like an active participate in the events of the story; yes Marika shattered the Elden Ring an age ago and lots of important things happen, but stuff is still happening in the present day, varying characters have their own goals and motivations that propel them forwards: Melina, Ranni, Morgott, Mogh, Rykard, Gideon, Goldmask Fia, Dung Eater, Shabriri, Gowry and so many other characters are all taking steps to push the world into the way they want it to be, and you are at the center of it. These plans living or dying depend on you and the actions you take, and how it fits in with your own ambitions. Even the background lore seems to be rather more connected than most of the other games because the relationships between all these majors characters and how they interact with one another is vital, which is different compared to how isolated from one another other lore important figures in the past games typically are.

It's why the Shadow of the Erdtree is maybe my favorite Fromsoft narrative; Miquella hasn't been in the Land of Shadows for an age and a half, he got there like a day or two before you did, and everyone is trying to figure out what exactly he's trying to do as he does it. Him leaving behind his Great Rune happens in real time, you can feel it across the map, and him dispelling his charms has changes in each of the characters who then pursue their own goals. The fight against Leda and her allies, a gank fight no less, is maybe one of the best fights in this series because it's the culmination of all these stories coming to head, of them all wanting something from this journey and fighting for it. It's the first time I think in this game that actual conversations happen, and I loved hearing Leda, Freyja and Moore exchange words with Thiollier and Ansbach because it cements that this was an active story.

God I love this game.

Good guy Radahn: ignoring the societal norms to induct commoners into his knightly order based on merit alone. Fits very well with his love of Godfrey.

They are married for taxes and also for their deeply violent love <3

I have a myriad of thoughts about them under the cut

For more context on my thoughts heres this post which outlines my base thoughts for their dynamic from a romantic perspective

I’ve noticed that these two are my fav ship from the dlc and they aren’t even divorced 😁 (I’m improving I think)

Them being very clearly happy with each other is very important to me. They are objectively not great people who have a lot of blood on their hands, but they’ve managed to make this work. Their bond is what functions properly in their lives and little else is as easy for them. I don’t think they would get together without Miquella bringing them together tbh, but thats just because I can’t imagine them being friendly to each other without that godly guidance. It’s like when a shitty friend is what led to you meeting the love of your life.

I said in my previous post about them that (and I quote) “Leda tops” I will not be taking criticism on this point. Frejya being allowed to be soft is what makes her interesting for me. The war woman should be allowed to be gentle and a bit submissive for her tiny violence wife. If they got modern married I want Leda wearing a white mens suit and I want Frejya wearing a beautiful long wedding dress that trails back twice her height.

(and again, if anyone needs clarification on my handwriting I am more than glad to help clarify)

INKTOBER 29 - Battle in the Enir-Ilim, Elden Ring

The last area of ​​the DLC, the Enir-Ilim is where Queen Marika ascended to goddess in the past. After discovering Miquella's true intentions in ascending to god (thanks to the revelation of St Trina), you only have to stop her at the Gate of Divinity with the help of Sir Ansbach and Thiollier, but you will have to face her group of fanatics commanded by Leda, in a battle in the Enir-Ilim.
