THE HISTORY BEHIND YOU

The Lands Between already have a long history of divine rule, ancient civilizations, wars, and broken allegiances.

Queen Marika the Eternal ruled over the Lands Between.
The Elden Ring was shattered.
Its Great Runes passed into the hands of demigods.
The Shattering brought war between Marika's descendants.
The demigods fought for power, yet no victor emerged.
The Greater Will abandoned them.
The Golden Order was left broken.
The Lands Between fell into an age without an Elden Lord.

The Night of the Black Knives left its mark on history.
Godwyn the Golden suffered a death that changed the fate of the realm.
The demigods inherited extraordinary power and became locked in their own conflicts.
The Erdtree remained at the heart of the Lands Between, towering over a realm divided by ambition and war.

The Tarnished, once banished from the Lands Between, are called back by the guidance of Grace.

Old decisions matter.
Ancient rivalries endure.
Broken alliances have consequences.
Forgotten crimes can resurface.
The power of a Great Rune can change the balance between rival forces.

The demigods do not share a single purpose.
The factions do not agree on the future.

The past is never far away, even where its meaning has been lost.

————————————————————————————

MORE THAN THE MAIN STORY

The Lands Between are filled with lives that exist beyond the pursuit of the Elden Ring.

A soldier can receive orders from a distant commander.
A merchant can lose a shipment on a dangerous road.
A blacksmith can struggle to obtain the materials needed for repairs.
A traveler can disappear near an abandoned ruin.
A scholar can search for a lost record of ancient history.
A sorcerer can pursue knowledge forbidden by their order.
A settlement can suffer under the threat of hostile creatures.
A knight can face conflicting loyalties.
A craftsman can depend on passing merchants for supplies.

A place of grace can become a meeting point for travelers.
A marketplace can suffer when a road becomes unsafe.
A ruined fort can change hands after a battle.
A forgotten underground passage can conceal an unwanted discovery.
A remote settlement can remain cut off from news of the capital.

Every encounter takes place in a world that existed before it and continues afterward.

YOUR LIVING ELDEN RING WORLD

You can follow the established story.
You can live beside it.
You can interfere with it.
Or you can change it.

A settlement can face danger while powerful figures pursue their own ambitions elsewhere.
A conflict between factions can affect roads, supplies, and ordinary travelers.
A forgotten ruin can become the object of a dangerous expedition.
A rumor can spread without revealing the truth.
An alliance can weaken because of events that happened days earlier.

What happens in the world matters beyond the moment it happens.

————————————————————————————

THIS IS A SIMULATION

This is not a retelling of the Tarnished's journey.

The world provides the established characters, locations, factions, demigods, creatures, sorcery, incantations, artifacts, history, and conflicts of Elden Ring, including the Realm of Shadow.

People continue living outside your presence.
Factions continue pursuing their interests.
Settlements continue dealing with their circumstances.
Merchants continue their journeys.
Warriors continue their duties.
Ancient powers remain part of the world's history.

You can become part of history.

Or you can remain one inhabitant among many.

Find your place in an age that has not yet found its end.
