With Marika now a god, she used the Elden Ring to give the Erdtree power originating from the Golden Grace of the Greater Will, thus ushering the Age of the Erdtree. The Elden Beast soon became the Elden Ring, and Marika became the ring’s vessel. In this case, the Empyrean Marika was selected by the Greater Will, and she chose Godfrey (formerly known as Hoarah Loux, a fearsome warrior from the Lands Between) to be her Lord, with her half-brother Maliketh serving as her shadow. In the words of Gowry, an Empyrean is “no mere demigod” and has the power to become “a new god to forge a new Order.” The Empryean selected by an outer god must also take a Lord as their consort and is given a shadow to do their bidding. In the lore, an outer god selects an Emyprean to become a god (i.e., the outer god’s vessel) and rule over a world. This golden star bore a beast, and while there are no concrete details about it, this Elden Beast must have appeared upon the Numen Marika (a Numen being a race of people from outside the Lands Between).Īn outer god is not clearly defined in the game, but it can be gleaned from item descriptions and dialogue that an outer god is a source of power with origins that are not of this world. The Greater Will is likely an outer god that sent a golden star into the Lands Between. There is also the Eternal Cities of Nokron and Nokstella, both which have been buried underground, possibly due to a calamity brought forth by falling stars. It is also known that there were early human Astrologers looked up to the stars, and they even considered the Fire Giants of the Mountaintops as neighbors in their pursuit of knowledge and purpose from the heavenly bodies. As time passed, these beasts gained intelligence (they may be the progenitors of humans and other intelligent creatures), and “their wildness slipped away as civilization took hold.“ There aren’t many records of these past civilizations, but these early civilizations sprang around the Ainsel and Siofra rivers which originate from the depths of the Erdtree’s roots. In the beginning of the world, “all life was once blended together” in the primordial crucible which was the “ primordial form of the Erdtree.” It can be gleaned from this description that life sprang from the crucible, possibly in the form of beasts and serpents.
