Headcanons for Demigods in Wandering Mausoleums

Weeping Peninsula: Marika's bastard child, not much else to say here! I don't remember whether localisation mentions it, but in Japanese original this one is definitely mentioned as a bastard. Perhaps owned Castle Morne before death and before Godrick's goons started owning it? Maybe was adopted in the Golden Lineage, because Morne did also belong to Godfrey before his banishment, and stores an important Golden Lineage trophy (Grafted Greatsword). At least, Godfrey was likely okay with being cucked, if not also had different lovers +Lhutel is found in the closest Catacomb to this Mausoleum, so maybe she was a knight of this Demigod!

Castle Sol: A child of Godwyn and Fortissax, and the one whom bloodline of Godefroy and then Godrick is from! Godwyn and Fortissax did have children (Draconian Tarnished, Godrick mentions that he and a drake "both descend from the dragons", Elden Ring's basilisks are spawn of Fortissax and Godwyn as they are dragonic, have marine features and cause Deathblight). Castle Sol has Banished Knights and Stormhawks much like Stormveil, it makes sense if this is the bloodline that led to Godrick! The weakest and shortest-living one, too; if Draconian Tarnished are of any indication, crossbreeds in Elden Ring have weak health

Deeproot Depths: This one is both next to Noklateo and very close to Godwyn, having the biggest guarding of the Mausoleum Knights, too. I feel like such honor could only be granted to a Golden Lineage sibling of Godwyn, so, basically, Marika and Godfrey had at least one more child together! I imagine this one was a bit 'hidden' and with controversial opinions, having interest in Nox culture and vouching for them like how Godwyn was for Ancient Dragons. Both siblings tried to prioritize diplomacy. This is kind of sad, since Black Knives did betray the Erdtree like this in the end... I also imagine a sibling that was a bit in the shadow of Godwyn, leaning more towards water, night and things like that. This tends to be a "secretive" side to the gold! Trina is like this. Maris is like this. I think maybe a daughter, since there are already many guys in the bloodline? At least, not a son.

Liurnia (real one): A child of that strange Demigod buried close to Godwyn / next to Noklateo! I will skip right to the next ones because they directly connect:

Two other Mausoleums for not-Demigods in Liurnia: They lack bells, lack Knights, and can't duplicate Demigod remembrances! I suppose they are related to Demigods and got in the way somehow. Like, one of them might have been the spouse of Godwyn's other sibling and so, second parent of Liurnian Demigod. Noklateo Demigod might be an odd one, but as a child of Marika, their inherent Gold is not something negligible!

And another could be Grana (a woman depicted I the portraits of Raya Lucaria that holds Carian scroll and was a faceclaim for now-defunct Witch conspectus). Her color is green and her crown uniquely features depiction of leaves, which by internal Elden Ring's lore logic would imply unification of Erdtree and Sorcerers! She is also a Carian, though. So maybe she was wed to the Liurnian Demigod, and basically things were not 100% sour after Radagon's divorce. This marriage might have been one of little strings to still keep in touch with Carians. I am not sure who Grana might have been herself in terms of relation. Could have been a daughter of Renna and Lazuli (Doll of Renna already had a ring on her ringfinger, and Lazuli was a faceclaim of the "heretical" Moonlight conspectus who wield Renna's snowflake crest)

Worth to mention that Black Knives were not 100% on Ranni's side either; Ranni must have had a reason to imprison Alecto (can't be GO since that Evergaol is in her secluded place), and Black Knives did come after throats of Iji and Blaidd later! Them going out of their way to harm a relative from her Carian side, that "did nothing wrong", is entirely possible.

Consecrated Snowfield: And this one would be a child of Liurnian Demigod and Grana! Snowfield Mausoleum is unique to shoot a lot of blue sorcery and guarding Apostate Derelict, and Consecrated Snowfield is what leads to Haligtree! And Miquella also adopted a lot from Carians. This Demigod was strong on Sorceries, it seems. I think Miquella and this Demigod definitely were friends and allies, but the Snowfield perhaps had a bit more open "ok boomer 💀" vibe xd

P.S: This family might legitimately have way more generations than I tend to give them credit for

P.P.S: bruuuuhhhhhh is Noklateo Demigod fucking Gwyndolin-coded????? Gfhtfjjgjhd
