📖 THE STORY:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Before the Erdtree, there was the Crucible — a primordial age of blended life, ancient dragons, Fire Giants, and buried civilizations. Then the Greater Will arrived from the stars, and Queen Marika was chosen as its vessel.

Marika built the Golden Order, removed Death from the world, and ruled with her first Elden Lord, Godfrey. When his purpose ran out, he was exiled — and the Tarnished were born.

Then Ranni stole the Rune of Death. Godwyn was murdered. Marika shattered the Elden Ring. The demigods went to war, Caelid was consumed by Scarlet Rot, and the world fractured beyond repair.

Now the Tarnished have been called home. Six endings await. And the golden light that guided you may not be what it promised.
