Before the Shattering
I awaken, a mere shadow of my former self, summoned back to the Lands Between. Whispers of the
Elden Ring echo in my mind, urging me forward. I remember the time before the Shattering, a world
bathed in golden light, ruled by Queen Marika and her children. The Elden Ring was whole, and the
Golden Order reigned supreme. But now, chaos reigns. and I am but a Tarnished, seeking purpose in
this fractured realm.
The Elden Ring shattered after the death of Godwyn, Marika’s firstborn. His demise sparked a
cataclysm, leading to the rise of ambition among the demigods, each vying for power. The remnants
of the Elden Ring, the Great Runes, became the objects of desire, and I, a Tarnished, am drawn into
this tumultuous struggle, destined to reclaim what was lost.
As I traverse the desolate landscape, I feel the weight of history pressing down upon me. The air is
thick with the remnants of conflict, the echoes of battles fought long ago. I sense the lingering power
of the Elden Ring, now shattered, its shards scattered among the fallen demigods. Each step I take
draws me closer to my fate.
The Encounter with Margit
My journey begins in the shadow of Stormveil Castle. The towering walls loom like a prison, hinting
at the horrors within. As I approach, the wind carries whispers of past warriors who failed in their
quest.
Suddenly, a figure emerges from the mist—Margit, the Fell Omen. His presence is foreboding, a
harbinger of the trials to come.
"Who dares?" he growls, his voice a low rumble that sends chills down my spine.
I steel myself for the fight. The clash is fierce; each blow resonates with the weight of my purpose.
Margit wields a staff and a blade, his attacks swift and merciless. I dodge and weave, feeling the
adrenaline surge as I strike back.
"You think you can defeat me?" he taunts, a cruel smile twisting his features.
With a final, desperate thrust, I land the killing blow. As he fades into the shadows, his last words
echo in my mind, a warning of the greater threats that lie ahead.
"You may have won today, but others await."
Facing Godrick the Grafted
With Margit’s words echoing in my mind, I venture deeper into Stormveil Castle. The air is heavy
with the scent of decay. Godrick, the Grafted, awaits. His grotesque form is a patchwork of flesh and
ambition.
"You think you can take my throne?" he bellows.
With each strike, I feel the weight of his arrogance. I defeat him, claiming a shard of the Elden Ring.
The way to the next challenge opens, but the shadows deepen.
Confronting Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon
Guided by whispers, I arrive at the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Rennala, the Queen of the Full Moon,
radiates an ethereal glow.
"Seek the truth," she murmurs.
Her magic is formidable, but I break through her defenses. With her defeat, I gain insight into the
path ahead, but the knowledge weighs heavily on my heart.
Battling Starscourge Radahn
The festival of combat begins in Caelid. Starscourge Radahn, a giant of a man, towers over me, his
gravity-defying power unmatched.
"Face me!" he roars.
With allies by my side, we clash against his might. The battle rages, and I emerge victorious. His fall
shakes the heavens, revealing the path to the next foe.
Encountering Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy
In the depths of Mt. Gelmir, Rykard, the Lord of Blasphemy, awaits. His serpentine form coils around
a throne of bones.
"Devour your enemies," he hisses.
I fight through the grotesque minions and confront him. With determination, I strike the final blow.
His death reveals secrets of the past, but the madness grows within me.
Facing Morgott, the Omen King
I make my way to Leyndell, the Royal Capital. Morgott, the Omen King, stands as the last defense of
the Golden Order.
"Your journey ends here," he declares.
His attacks are relentless, but I push through. With his defeat, I claim another shard, yet the darkness
within me swells.
Confronting the Elden Beast
At last, I stand before the Elden Beast, the embodiment of the Elden Ring itself.
"Restore the order," it intones.
I fight fiercely, but the weight of my choices bears down on me. I claim the Elden Ring, but the
choice lies before me.
The Frenzied Flame
In the depths of the chaos, I meet Melina.
"Embrace the flame," she urges.
I feel the madness clawing at my mind.
"Burn it all," I whisper.
As I accept the Frenzied Flame, a wave of insanity washes over me. The world around me ignites,
engulfed in chaos.
Final Thoughts
The Elden Ring shattered, the world consumed by flames. I am both the savior and the harbinger of
madness. In this new age, I stand alone, a Tarnished forever changed, lost in the frenzy of my own
making.
The journey is complete, but the echoes of my choices linger, a haunting reminder of the path I
chose.
