#oc: banished knight leysha

[ruthlesslistener]

hi! can I have 35 & with any Elden Ring ship that you may have :3

oh FUCK yeah I'm doing this one with my oc Leysha and Morgott because I don't nearly do enough for them

35. Is their relationship a secret? If so, why?

-Yeah, their relationship (at least for most of it) is very much a secret simply because of, well...[waves hands at Morgott] everything about him, really. Their working relationship pre-Leysha finding a way to usurp Marika and crown him as Elden Lord in an Age of the Crucible ending isn't so much of a secret, but even then the details are kind of twisted to avoid suspicion- yes, King Morgott found an unlikely ally in a banished knight who's also Tarnished, and yes she takes orders from that dreadful omen he keeps around as well- Margit, was he?- but then again, he was a bit of an odd one, so perhaps it isn't so weird that he chose to spare one Tarnished. At least the woman is a sight in combat, eh? Would have been a waste to have Margit put her down, really.

Some time afterwards, I like to believe that Leysha officially becomes Lady of Leyndell, but that would still take quite a long time given the change in the Order and the fuss of dealing with all that divine bullshit. Really she'd just love to be able to settle down and have a family and some goats after a long life full of war, but politics is a tricky beast, and she's more than capable of keeping things a secret if she must

what would Leysha's dropped items be?

I'm still thinking about what those would be! I'm waffling between her cloak (custom embroidered from her homeland), a talisman that significantly raises robustness and poise at the detriment of fp, and then just straight-up her as an ash summon for a bad end of a theoretical questline. Which, yeah, we already have two banished knight summons already, but a duel-wielding greatsword tank summon? Not quite sure which items to pick, though, I'm still thinking about it. She got more development than Fenrix did, which means more little neat bits and pieces for me to choose from

Leysha's also a bit harder to make up items for than Fenrix simply because she prefers simpler solutions (and because she admittedly doesn't have much left to carry around), but a lot of her stuff would for sure be focused around strength/poise/resistance boosts. Later on talisman-type items would also have a strong tangled horns/branches motif as she grows closer to Morgott and the Crucible

'Sup, I'm Aren, he/him. This is not an rp blog, I just happen to really like Fortissax. This is for me to post ideas and theories about the lore of the game, as well as stash any art and writing I do for Elden Ring.

*My main blog: @ruthlesslistener

*My Ao3: ruthlesslistener

*Like I said, I'm over 18 and bi as hell so this will have not safe for work content on it. That'll be appropriately tagged as #elden ring nsft or #baddragonposting no matter if it's suggestive content or me just being horny for old men. #baddragonposting is exclusively for me being horny about old men, though.

*If I draw anything, it'll be tagged as #arenart to try to narrow down tumblr's tagging mess

*I love getting asks, so fire away! It can be anything from asking about what I think of a character to other lore theories to yelling about something in-game. I might be blunt about some things, but I promise I enjoy talking to y'all

*NO incest/noncon/underage ships will be depicted here. I'm fascinated by Mohg and Miquella both, but I very much do not read Mohg as being legitimatly attracted to Miquella or visa versa, and none of my lore posts on them should be viewed through a shipping lens

Current OCs:

-Fenrix, the White Raven

-Banished Knight Leysha, Lady of Leyndell
