ohhh kayyyy so maris probably supports my theeree that the finger ruins of rhia marked a third "landing site" for a vassal beast of the greater will pertaining to the night, huh.

and the fact it resembles the spirit jellyfish, which appear only at night and originated from the mountaintops along with the astrologers, just furthers this connection...

...and that the demi-humans go wild at night, and explains onze's fear of the "procession of stars..."

.......and in fact that maris and elden beast may have been twins to represent night and day, just as the shamans and the nox both descended from numen, yet something the nox did pissed off the greater will, allowing the elden beast to lord over all.

and i guess why ranni partly resembles a spirit jellyfish, lol.

weird.

Elden Ring Nightreign fan art. Sometimes Executer has some "special" conception to his allies, including himself👨‍🎨

[gas-leak-knight]

Tbh that post explaining seven Nightlords through Seven Sins captivated me, it makes so much sense. But also, like? Another pointer towards it is how she is a unique Ancient Dragon that lacks the gold in her body. Their eyes are golden and the gold is what is under their rock layer, but not for her.

Seath was a similar concept of a dragon that got a "losing end" when the disparity came, lacking the scales that other Everlasting Dragons had! Now, they are very different characters, but I am just saying that it is not a new thing for Fromsoft to write a dragon that lacks what the others in their species got xD

Also I realized my initial problem was because before the game crashed I had set it to “start offline” and they’re only available in online mode lmao. I’m a dummy.

I had a weird Nightreign expedition for an alternate version of Adel and in the middle of my playthrough it crashed my pc and the event went away when I rebooted. I swear to god I am going to. take fall damage.

[gas-leak-knight]

When I read “Everdark Sovereign” i was assuming “Sovereign” was Adel’s “Baron” stand-in. Was really hoping all the nightlords had new, emo-ass names for their enhanced versions. Like “Everdark Sage” for Gnoster. “Everdark Dreamer.” “Everdark Watcher.” etc.

Reblog if you love DS2 because you are one of the best people irl and super loyal and able to see beauty in imperfections but are also a contrarian who is “cool” and “totes jacked off” for liking the black sheep of the Dark Souls family while having no actual personality outside of these traits

Heolstor was in the base Elden Ring

Okay ok ok so, his lore is basically that he was one of the countless victims of a "hero" (a term very often adjacent to Erdtree/GO people in Elden Ring setting), bent on resentment and revenge, and it took the form of the 'rain', right?

But!!! Do you remember that!!! In base Elden Ring, there was a character who was one of the countless victims of Godfrey, bent on resentment and revenge, and ASSOCIATED with the sole location where clouds never dissolve and where the rains never cease?

Castle Morne is one of the places usurped by the Erdtree/GO (Edgar is a servant of Godrick). Heolstor is also apparently an enemy of Erdtree/GO people in particular; Revenant's family 100% hails from Leyendell, Wylder's clan are like model Tarnished descending from Godfrey's warriors, initially his shape is restricted with a golden dagger binding his arm and bandages with golden runes, the last thing to stand against the Nightfall is an apparition of the Erdtree, the whole thing about the Night is that it nuked the actual Erdtree and what stemmed from it...

Lmao Hornsent is welcomed to hold Heolstor's beer I suppose. Get the FUCK out, GEQ and Stormlord, we are having a fuckin AU version of the Revenger xD 😎

Ironeye’s Remembrance and Lore (2/2)

Second are Ironeye’s relics (and more information on what the fellowship actually is)

Ironeye has two relics. (Photos from the Game8 blog)

The Cracked Sealing Wax:

Sealing Wax removed from an open letter. Used by sell swords of the fellowship. The stamp signifies an assassin’s oath. Once a target is agreed upon, there is no going back. Such contracts are said to have their origin in the lands between.

And the Edge of Order:

A fragment of the spear of Fulghor… imbued with holy essence… When Those Who Live in Death are felled by the Order, they will never rise again.

The seal features the full wheel-wound of the centipede from base game Elden Ring, otherwise known as the full cursemark of death. Interestingly, it doesn’t look like the Death sorcery sigil (right) OR the mending rune of both half-sigils put together in Fia’s quest (left)

If anything, the death sorceries sigil looks like you curled a half-wound in on itself, where the wax sigil looks more like if the cursemark of death was completed on one demigod, rather than split between Godwyn and Ranni.

Now, I don’t think the night of the black knives happened any differently in Nightreign, since Nightreign takes place after the shattering (and since there are black knife assassins with.. black knives), but it’s also hard to say how much of the shattering war happened before Nightreign’s events, because I think the “such contracts are said to have their origin in the lands between” line is supposed to reference the Recusants or the Two Finger’s Confessor Assassins. The implication may very well be that the entire Lands Between is stuck in time while everywhere else remains not time-fucky but still ravaged by night and rain, which is why some nightfarers come from lands that seem to have developed their own offshoots of TLB practices.

That being said, it’s incredibly notable that the wheel-wound “centipede” mark as it’s called in ER 1. Explains Isolde calling the traitor the “centipedal scion” as the fellowship raised him to be and 2. Pairs with the reference to TWLiD/Undead in the Edge of Order description.

Isolde is warning Ironeye that this assassin, like the Fellowship’s other members, is undead and will not go down easy. Hell, we see it happen when Ironeye kills the traitor and he comes back to life, sending Ironeye to get the edge of order from Fulghor.

My thoughts based on this info

My interpretation is that the Fellowship, an association of assassins and spies, manufactures/creates its own undead, undying assassins by turning members into those who live in death (willingly, it seems) with the understanding that undeath is dangerous and they are to be returned to death by holy rites once their time in the Fellowship has concluded (“disposed of,” as Isolde puts it.)

The conclusion of Ironeye’s remembrance ends with him killing Heolstor’s husk with his blade but returning back the way he came rather than the usual “turn into grace and return to Erdtree” ending. He says “the night is far from over” and references his night in his final Journal chapter. His remembrance skin sees him with one glowing, cold eye, indicating that he’s taken up the mantle of Nightlord, even if not in name.

Ironeye wants the night to continue apparently so he might escape his fate as a disposable assassin. If the night ends, he returns to the Fellowship and is laid to rest.

This is a lot less theory crafting and more trying to piece together the lore but it’s nice to have all my thoughts written out so I can make sense of it. If you’ve gotten all the way through this thank you sincerely for listening and do let me know if you agree or disagree or have any thoughts. Cheers!

Ironeye’s Remembrance and Lore (1/2)

Spoilers for his questline below

First off, some important notes regarding Ironeye’s quest and the Journal entries.

This part is less of a theory and more how I’m interpreting what happened to set the second bit.

Ironeye’s journal entries take the form of mostly one-sided correspondence between Ironeye and a person named “Isolde.”

Isolde details to Ironeye of a new target, spoken of as “The Monster” for… whatever reason, later also said to be a traitor to Ironeye’s fellowship of assassins or whatever group he belongs to.

Isolde refers to the Monster as a “centipedal scion,” (which made me think it was centipede demon and then it ended up being the NPC Ironeye fight lmao) (4)

Ironeye refers to Isolde as his “Master” and “Guardian”

“Guardian” here being particularly interesting, as when talking about the Monster, Isolde says “it is clear now that his guardian had been slain long ago. (4)

Isolde talks conspiratorially in a bloodstained letter to Ironeye about a dream she had to “wrest the power of the Night” seemingly to avoid a “fated [being] disposed of” by the fellowship, and encouraging Ironeye to basically do whatever he wants (6)

This is the last letter from Isolde Ironeye ever receives.

Outside of the journal, Ironeye gets a “traitor’s letter”

“When the Nightlord nears, meet at the Roundtable.” The monster was aware of a looming threat, and welcomed the assassin Ironeye.

I’m speculating here, but this seems to indicate to me that this is a master/apprentice situation or at least, the fellowship divides its members into paired correspondence. The implication from Isolde being that this Traitor/Monster’s Master equivalent was slain, leading him to go rogue.

Of course, we find out in the remembrance that the traitor is a version of Ironeye from a previous night cycle. I think this means that in tracking information, Isolde finds out this assassin is rogue without his master, but doesn’t learn that the assassin is Ironeye and the dead master is her from a previous cycle (since she appears to exist “eternally” in the night, but not in the loop that the round table exists in.)

Isolde is possibly killed by the fellowship (on account of the letter being bloodstained) for having her doubts in the fellowship’s “use them and lose them” policy on its members, sparking Ironeye to go turncoat and become the next cycle’s traitor.

Furthermore, Traitor Ironeye wants to meet with our Ironeye, leading to a confrontation where Ironeye slits the traitor’s throat before he comes back to life and requests our Ironeye get something called an “Edge of Order” to properly kill him… curious.

Just finished Ironeye’s remembrance/night ending and they were not lying. Ice cold.

Mild spoilers below + remembrance skin

I also think it’s very funny that there’s an actual answer to “why are his eyes like that” vaguely hinted at during the course of his remembrance. Because it’s a fair question. Why are his eyes like that. I guess the answer is.. uh.. night reasons?

Not exaggerating when I say he gets a chronic case of sans undertale eye from his remembrance skin. You can’t see it in my shitty picture but there’s frost or something emanating from his right eye.
