Watching this while fighting for my life on the toilet
I use to think Marika was a villain. Now, I just wanna give her a hug.
One detail that is also subtle is that down under Shadow Keep, on the path to Rauh, player will cross a section filled of jars enemies. The thing is, it looks like a 'hospital', where Messmer tried to undoing the Hornsent's atrocity, by trying to separating the bodies apart from the jar.
After learning the lore: “Oi, Messmer. You missed some of them.”
So basically Marika was a broken person, and when her blessed child Godwyn the Golden was murdered this caused Marika to snap and revolt against the Greater Will because she thought it failed to protect her family from death????
All she ever wanted was to save her people but in the end there was no one left and never came back.
I saw a video, can't remember the name or the channel. But they theorised that Marika was in fact a successful Saint, hence why the Hornsent we meet in the game talks about her actions as a betrayal instead of revenge. Can also explain why in the first trailer for the game we see Marika's skin cracked and why Marika and Radagon are one person.
unalloyed gold makes more sense now if you think of the merging of flesh as an alloy
I love how the perception of Marika went from, “she’s a ruthless tyrant god Queen.” To “she’s a survivor of a genocide and a broken woman.” Ultimately I don’t think any of us would have done anything different if we were in Marika’s position, I know I wouldn’t.
You know I feel like a good thing to look up is asnbach and his relationship with mogh along with what mohg might have been like
Because of Relanna, we know that Messmer's invasion came after the joining of the Carians and the Golden Order. So Merika's betrayal must have happened before that.
Because of the note at the very top of the Suppressing Pillar, we know the land of shadow was once part of the Lands between, and at some point Marika Severed it from the lands between. Likely to seal Mesmer and other undesirables from Marika's Age of Golden Order.

There are 2 kinds of potentates, just like the are 2 kinds of jars. The jars of the Land of Shadows were tools of horror and oppression, used for religious reasons. The jars of the Lands Between were automated dead collectors that delivered the dead to the Erdtree for rebirth.
Me: "Elden Ring lore couldn't possibly get darker or more disturbing..."
i actually really love the detail of marika’s missing piece of hair being the golden braid we find in the shaman village. i’ve always noticed it but didn’t think too much about it before the dlc.
The fact that Marika left behind a Minor Erdtree and her Golden Braid behind in her home village is some rare show of compassion from the distant, uncaring persona she displayed during the main game. There was no-one left to save there, but she still left those items behind perhaps as a promise from herself she would create a new world where this kind of thing would not happen again.
A wild theory popped into my head: what if Marika convinced the hornscent and other shamans to build themselves into the gate of divinity? Perhaps she was told how to make it by the fingers and she made the plans to seduce everyone into making her a god by building Enir-Elim and the gate of divinity out of themselves, that’s why it’s two pillars because it may resemble fingers communing with the gods. She then betrayed them by sending Messmer out to commit genocide on the hornscent out of spite.
So the way I see it, the Numan came to the land of shadows via those giant coffins that looked like ships. Later settling with the last remnant in the land of shadow in the village of Shamans. Then we figure the remaining Numan went to the Lands Between. Becoming what we call the Nox.
I think the whole lord’s soul bit is an over-complicated interpretation. the secret rite scroll says “a lord will usher in a god’s return,” so likely meaning the consort must summon their god back to corporeal flesh once ascended, “and
