My friend @katyspersonal made an interesting observation about the flowers that were once found on the path to Midra's Mense. Here's her post on the matter for reference [x].
The flower connection seems way too meaningful to be accidental, especially since the two people in charge of the Mense are not Hornsent at all...
Now, we can't know for sure whether Midra, Nanaya, or both were Shamans or at least related, but the connection IS there, which I doubt was placed randomly.
But yeah, speaking of Hornsent, they were indeed punished for associating with Midra. As my friend pointed out in an earlier post [x], this dialogue wouldn't fit if it was simply due to the Flame of Frenzy business going on there, especially since the ghost that welcomes us is very well aware of the madness.
It's also worth pointing out that the Madding Hand's face resembles that of the other Hornsent who use player models, meaning his fellows are probably other Hornsent too.
Whoever this group of Hornsent was, it's clear they did not care about his lack of horns and simply served Midra, possibly due to him being wise and knowledgeable...
Either that, or there are ways for people without horns to get privileges and benefits even in Hornsent society. Maybe it is still due to his vast array of knowledge, but it wouldn't be too outlandish to think Midra found ways to be productive to the Hornsent and was thus rewarded for his efforts. Until they grew suspicious of him, of course. But his Hornsent attendants seem rather loyal to him despite that.
Which leads me to a different point regarding Marika herself...
The two Hornsent NPCs that we can actually interact with both mention some sort of betrayal from Marika.
To be betrayed means that there was some semblance of trust between them and her that she broke, which would seem odd at first glance, but we must take into consideration what she did to attain godhood. She had to have reached the Gates of Divinity (as shown in the cinematic trailer), which are found in the holiest, most guarded part of Belurat's tower: Enir-Ilim.
And this must have happened BEFORE the Crusade and Messmer, as evidenced by a few things:
1) The Hornsent mention the Erdtree a bunch, which we know was established after a few different conflicts. At the very least, the war against the Giants must have happened before the Crusade, as the Age of the Erdtree began then.
Marika was also already considered a god at the time, she had a consort in Godfrey, and the Crucible was yet to be seen as heretical due to their employment of Crucible Knights. There's also the very likely possibility that Radagon was spawned from that conflict as a curse of the Giants inflicted upon Marika, which would work to explain where the red hair came from.
It might also tell us WHEN Messmer was born in that case, and speaking of...
2) Messmer's condition, or rather, all the things Marika had done for his sake, seem to have happened AFTER the establishment of the Erdtree, as they feature heavy gold and tree motifs. To have control of Grace so great that she could create the rune she most likely gave to Messmer strongly hints at her having already become a god.
The Blessing of Marika also fits the criteria of a thing she had to have made after her ascension to godhood because of its heavy arboreal theme and the fact that two Tree Sentinels (who defend her home village) are holding onto them as well, further hinting at the existence of the Erdtree by this point in time.
Both of these items relate to Messmer and both of their descriptions already identify Marika as a Queen. I wonder if this means Marika returned to her home one last time after she became a god as opposed to when she started her journey toward divinity. Her last acknowledgment of her past before leaving it behind forever.
3) Messmer was also friends with Gaius, who studied with Radahn, and they were both like older brothers to him.
This means the Crusade and Messmer's banishment could not have happened earlier than many years AFTER the Liurnian wars, as evidenced by the presence of the Carian kids. This point is also strengthened by Rellana being close to Messmer and having to prove her loyalty to the Erdtree in ritual combat.
This means that Marika reaching the Gates of Divinity and the Crusade happened at two different points in time, which seems to align with how the Hornsent word things. She betrayed them, then set them ablaze.
What's left to wonder is HOW it happened. I think it was either:
A) She waged a first war against them with the aid of Hoarax Loux (not Godfrey yet, as there was no reason to conduct himself as a lord), his clan, and the Crucible Knights to consolidate her godhood. Maliketh could have also been involved. The Hornsent, then, simply see being supplanted as a betrayal regardless of whether they knew about Marika or not, or...
B) She found a sneakier way to get there through careful planning and climbing the social ladder of Hornsent society, maybe with contact and guidance from the Two Fingers. If the latter is true, I assume she still had Maliketh's support and Hoarax Loux on speed dial for whenever the chance to claim divinity arrived, as she would still need a consort for that and we know he was her first husband.
Both ideas are compelling to me and make sense in their own right. Still, the thought that she could have actually infiltrated their society and made them trust her just to usurp and double-cross them feels very fascinating, especially since the Hornsent specifically mention Marika betraying them. It makes me wonder what Tower society is really like to non-horned people since some Hornsent can even become very loyal to those with an explicit lack of horns.
Marika's betrayal could also explain why the Inquisition would later turn on Midra despite him seemingly having enjoyed some levity or respect in the past. Perhaps they believed he'd pull a similar stunt to Marika's (or maybe they acted that way because he was directly related to her? idk honestly)... though their preventive actions inadvertently caused even more problems by having the resulting despair attract the Three Fingers to what would become the Abyssal Woods.
Of course, it's unclear if the Mense's downfall happened before, after, or concurrently with Marika's path to divinity, but I think it's worth considering as an option at least!

Actual quotes from session zero of my dnd campaign:
Player: "I don't want weapons, no spells, can my only thing just be 'throw hands'?"
DM: *sigh* "You just want--"
Player: "To throw hands, yes."
DM: "Alright. You're a monk now I guess"
Player 2: "FUCk. we all have loving families. god dammit." *looks at me* "Well. most of us"
Me: "yeah--"
Player 2: "Your fake mom just died by suicide"
Me: "Okay, I get it--"
Player 2: "and then you became a gladiator about it? girl--"
Me: "ok listen it was apparent suicide that means it totally could have been murder--"
Player 2: "hey dm what's the funniest dnd response I could do rn"
DM, regretting this: "Probably 'roll for insight'."
Player 2: "Hey I roll for insight."
Me: "This is why I keep taping cows to your door. I hope you know that."
#writing community#not writing#dnd#none of these people have played dnd before#we've got maybe three people who have played before#and im over here just like yeah uh. ive played three campaigns and my dad regularly dms for fun. like two different campaigns#every week. a specialty one shot campaign. he makes his own maps#and theyre looking at me like is this the dad who plays rocket league and Elden ring and baldurs gate#and im like yes. yes it is#and theyre like hes cooler than you and im like I am fully aware thanks besties. this bro has so much lore#anyways this campaign is gonna be funny as fuck nobody here knows wtf theyre doing.

me jumping through oc lore hoops so I can justify gw2!faerene wielding a magical greatsword even though she has always been exclusively a ranged spellcaster in all her verses... simply because the greatsword necro gameplay is stupid stupid fun
#ambie.txt#ambie plays gw2#oc: faerene rosenhall#me: you see in elden ring she also has a greatsword because it scales well with faith#so it could be a focus for her magic just like a staff is. also it's magic so she can wield it even though she has noodle arms nod nod nod#I'm grasping at straws here but the truth is. the. the fuggen. the fuggen sound design as the sword goes swoosh and slash.. its so good#it's so stupidly good I screamed the first time I heard it... rip to me I like big sword...#faerene might have noodle arms and have like -6768 strength like your truly but thats ok. because ✨magic✨. yes yes this is fine.gif

highly recommend playing single player games badly on purpose. like, not bad mechanically, just choosing an objectively subpar strategy. not least since if something actually pisses you off enough you can then drop the training weights and obliterate it
#this is why i made a holy damage build for my first time playing elden ring#i heard it was bad#and maybe it is. but i am having fun#woe. bubbles be upon ye#dark souls

Not to be sappy on main, but I will forever be a hater to people who say video games can't be a productive use of your time.
#ig it's time to talk about how#elden ring#literally saved my life#i spent my last 40 dollars on the game this time last year in fact#i was spiraling real bad at the time too#quit my job#quit my hobbies#felt so certain that i would quit school too#and then i decided hey i'm gonna play that game my old coworkers talked about just to feel closer to them#and i fucking loved it#i loved every second of it#it got me excited for the first time in years to try something new#maybe it was the sense of nostalgia it gave me for DA:O#but elden ring was the first game to make me feel like i was good at something in almost a decade#i don't care if you used a cheese weapon#or beat godrick with your bare fists#what matters is that you had fun#because let me tell you#if i hadn't been having fun#if i hadn't been looking forward to getting online every day and helping people beat malenia#then i probably wouldn't be here to post this today#anyways this is long but my point is- you have to live#no matter what it is#find something to live for#if playing elden ring keeps you excited to live than play it#if thinking master chief would be proud of you for brushing your teeth than by god soldier you go ahead and keep doing that#this is already really long but i also want to say#thank you all so fucking much for interacting with me#whether its my posts or from in game summons#fight on ye tarnished- i believe in you
