Not much is known about the exact involvement of Martin in the game's fiction and whether or not broader outlines of endings or character trajectories are concerned, Martin himself having downplayed the role, indicating he worked out things more fundamental to the world and its mythology. Given the number of endings in Elden Ring , however, Martin could have had conflicting feelings about going into the project, unsure what the outcome would be for both himself and the game. He could have been searching for a way to start a new age of writing, much like Ranni's Elden Ring Age of Stars Ending starts a new age for the Lands Between, instead of looking to reclaim the glory lost with the downfall of Game of Thron  
The Gloam-Eyed Queen had access of some sort to Destined Death, using it to fuel her Black Flames. Once Marika became Queen and a god, she sent Maliketh, her Shadow, to defeat the Gloam-Eyed Queen. Then, she removed the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring and sealed it in Maliketh's Black Blade - an obtainable weapon in Elden Ring - charging him with the duty of protecting it. This Web site action gave Marika control over death in the Lands Betw  
The world of **Elden Ring ** , FromSoftware's newest dark fantasy RPG, is full of fancy helms and hats players can acquire (either by picking them up from bodies or slaying enemies over the course of play). The weirdest, most intriguing helmets by far are the ones literally crafted from the bodies and heads of certain side characters and opponents in Elden Ring ; aside from letting players customize their characters or engage in "cosplay" shenanigans, the item descriptions for these helmets also give gamers a lot of information about the odder lifeforms in this game's sett  
Following the backlash of Game of Thrones season 8, Martin was given the chance to write the history of Elden Ring . The dark fantasy style of Soulsborne games allowed Martin, known for killing off beloved characters, the creative freedom to possibly include Elden Ring sidequests with sad endings and feuds between characters whose views leave the player uncertain as to whom they should support. When the Tarnished returns from their exile, they are nobody important to the inhabitants of the Lands Between, and it's possible Martin felt the same way, entering into the position of writing for a video game rather than a novel. He may well have felt a lot like the Tarnished concept he was creating, someone exploring an unfamiliar landscape. He may have been searching for a way to regain his Grace and continue the Golden Order by fixing his reputation, just as the Tarnished can ultimately repair the Elden RThe best Talisman for a Scarlet Rot build is undoubtedly the Kindred of Rot's Exultation.

In place of the round, wide-brimmed hats associated with sorcerers in western fantasy fiction, the Glintstone Sorcerers seen in Elden Ring frequently wear sculpted stone masks with crowns made of Glintstone Crystal (which empower a Sorcerer's spell-casting abilities at the expense of resources such as Stamina). In-universe, the crystalline substance called Glintstone is what makes the scholarly discipline of Elden Ring 's Glintstone Sorcery possible, while the Azur's Glintstone Crown and Lusat's Glintstone Crown items , looted from mute NPCs encountered during the Sorceress Sellen quest-line, share the following passage in their item descripti  
Robbed of the Greater Will's Grace, Elden Ring 's Godfrey became the first Tarnished, exiled from the Lands Between and told to struggle, fight, and grow stronger before they return. In a way, Godfrey's journey mimics Martin's journey as a writer. Godfrey was a strong warrior before catching Marika's attention, as Martin was a talented writer before Game of Thrones caught HBO's attention. As Godfrey was risen to the position of Elden Lord, Martin, too, was put on a pedestal as the world fell in love with Game of Thrones . Godfrey was a tool for Marika, somebody that she could use to advance her own goals, and it could be argued that Martin became a tool for HBO, having to entrust the unfinished material of his final book to the showrunners because the show was made faster than he could write the final b  
At the start of Elden Ring, the Lands Between are scarred by war and haunted by the faded remains of imperial glory. Before the Night of the Black Knives, the shattering of the Elden Ring , and the civil war between rival Demigods, an imperial monarchy-slash-religious creed called the Golden Order united the myriad cultures of the Lands Between under its auspices. The Erdtree and dragon-worshiping nobles of Leyndell, the stone-masked sorcerers of Raya Lucaria and Selia, the oppressed demi-humans and Misbegotten underclasses – each of these species and cultures had a place and role within the Golden Order, and show up in Elden Ring proper as both wandering enemies and stout all
