In the Land Between, ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring was broken, the source of the Earth Tree.

Marika's children, all demigods, seized the fragments of the Elden Ring, known henceforth as the Great Runes. The insane corruption of their power sparked a war: the Shattering. A war that meant detachment from the Higher Will. Now the guiding hand of grace shall be given to the stained ones who were spurned by Golden Grace and banished from the Intermediate Land.Dead, yet full of life, you have long been far from grace. Follow the path to the Netherland beyond the Sea of Mists and submit to the Elden Ring.

Become the Elden Lord.
