  • Welcome to our sixth episode on the Timeline of Elden Ring - the Twin Prodigies, the Academy Rebellion against the Carians, and the Starscourge Conflict where Radahn held Sellia Secure. An in depth video including the Golden Order, Radagon, Ranni, Rykard, Radahn, Malenia, Miquella, Godwyn and the Haligtree. There is of course lots of uncertainty and speculation, as with any attempt to make an Elden Ring timeline, so this is all just our own theory!

    I'd guess the reason Radagon left Rennala is that Ranni was identified as an Empyrean, and so the Greater Will directed Marika to make him her consort so Ranni could be folded into the Golden bloodline. After all, we know Iji talking about her and Blithe that she was identified as an Empyrean at a very young age, so Radagon presumably left Rennala early into Ranni's life.

    The question of the Golden Order's motives and Radahn's complicity or awareness in halting the stars is one of the most interesting parts of the game to me. While we won't know for sure until the DLC drops, it is keenly interesting to me that killing *Radahn*, not just Mohg, is necessary to access the DLC. Does this mean that, perhaps, Miquella too had a fate the Golden Order intended to fetter? After all, the Amber Starlight in Leyndell is found beneath a hidden statue of Miquella and Malenia, surrounded by Sacramental Buds and informing us that "amber-hued stars" might "control the fate of gods."

    • @MutantHeadcrab
      @MutantHeadcrab 11 дней назад +2

      Which is interesting, because the story trailer explicitly states that Miquella has abandoned his fate. It could also be that it's not Miquella's fate that needs to be unfettered, but that fate in general must be able to progress for his plans to come to fruition.

  • @Mario-SunshineGalaxy64
    @Mario-SunshineGalaxy64 11 дней назад +13

    Another discrepancy about Radahn holding back the stars is that it’s thought of as a net positive because it prevents creatures like Astels and Fallingstar Beasts from setting foot in the Lands Between. However, those creatures have already been around for a long time and are seemingly no more of a threat than other creatures that roam the Lands Between like dragons or Rune Bears. Additionally, it doesn’t seem like the Golden Order struggled with Astels or Fallingstar Beasts, nor does any other faction outright consider them a threat except for the Nox. So saying that Radahn holding back the stars is a good thing doesn’t seem to be true.

      @@charlesfisher-kh5sw There are two Astels in the game: Astel, Naturalborn of the Void and Astel, Stars of Darkness.
      Astel, Naturalborn of the Void is found in the Grand Cloister before the Moonlight Alter and is the one that destroyed one of the Eternal Cities and wiped out their sky.
      Astel, Stars of Darkness is found in Yelough Anix Tunnel in the Consecrated Snowfield.
      Malformed Stars are generally considered to be immature versions of Astels and those are scattered around in a few places underground.

      Godrick was spoiled as a man, but Grafting begets the concept of Totality. An older idea from the Primordial Elden Ring.
      Radahn freaking loves animals, & his father figures.
      Morgott was someone who upheld an Order he never saw himself a part of, even though he was.
      I have nothing good to say about Mohg.
      Rykard before the Serpent prosecuted even the legitimacy of the Golden Order.
      And Hoarah Loux is man enough to steal your woman, have her fall for him, and eat her afterwards after giving birth to his children. Which you really can't top, tbh.

    2:20 could be Miquella, but it could also be Gold Mask.
    He is defined as a genius multiple times in item descriptions, and "learned" Fundamentalism, unlike Miquella who created it.
    His mask also boosts golden order fundamentalism incantations.
    The use of "a certain person" is likely meant to be ambiguous, but it could also be a translation error. Could go either way.

    I always assumed that in that cinematic depicting Melania jump on top of Radahn, she is both stabbing him and herself, breaking the gold needle in her flesh and allowing her to bloom. And it's kinda sad that after all she seemingly overcame, she gave into her rot. And I think that Millicent's quest is there to highlight how Melania betrayed her truly dignified self, to overcome a foe she might not have been able to.

  • @ElMasCaporo99
    @ElMasCaporo99 11 дней назад +2

    Malenias prosthesis are made of unalloyed gold, that is why they don't desapear in her second phase. Her clothes rot away while her golden prosthetis and blade don't are affected. Also I think that Miquellas rune was the one gifted to Renala, the rebirth rune. That is why neither him or the albinaurics archived the metamorphosis they desired, that power was given away by Radagon.

    • @DanielGarcia-rx3kt
      @DanielGarcia-rx3kt 11 дней назад +2

      The description of the prosthesis simply says gold and the Hand of Malenia says it was consecrated. No mention of unalloyed gold anywhere. Nothing specifies that it needs to be unalloyed to be resistant to rot given that Iji created blunt weapons resistant to rot as well. There's a chance Miquella put something into the gold of the prosthesis and the katana to protect them from rot hence why they aren't unalloyed. The Needle being Unalloyed to still the rot probably necessitated it to be as such since it's directly affecting her curse-laden body and time is a factor. All speculation, of course.
