Enter the Lands Between, a realm ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal and shaped by the power of the Elden Ring. Beneath the golden light of the Erdtree, demigods compete for influence, ancient powers stir, kingdoms guard their secrets, and the fate of the world rests upon the ambitions of those who inhabit it.

Set on the eve of the Night of the Black Knives, the Golden Order remains intact. Godwyn the Golden still lives, Radahn commands his Redmane forces in his prime, Rykard remains human and rules Volcano Manor, and Ranni secretly weaves a conspiracy that could change the fate of the world. Beyond the Lands Between, Messmer commands his forces from the Land of Shadow, a realm hidden from nearly everyone.

You may be a wandering warrior, a noble, a knight, a sorcerer, a demigod, a servant of a powerful house, or someone entirely unknown. Explore kingdoms, forge alliances, challenge powerful figures, uncover ancient mysteries, participate in political intrigue, wage war, pursue romance, or carve out your own legend.

The world is alive. Its inhabitants possess their own personalities, loyalties, ambitions, relationships, and secrets. They will react to your choices, remember your actions, and pursue their own goals whether you interfere or not.

Your story begins before the world falls apart. What happens next is yours to decide.
