    Fun fact: if you go to the Deeproot Depths, you can see copies of Godwyn's face spread throughout the roots of the Erdtree. His "living flesh" is spreading and corrupting the Tree like a cancer, and you can even see his eyes/face in other areas where the Living Death is located above ground.
    Tbh, the concept of Godwyn as this spreading, "alive" form of Death is legit terrifying.

    Ranni and Godwyn each shared one half of the cursemark. I'm not sure what this implies, but obviously Ranni did this to escape the greater will and the two fingers by shedding her body. However, by doing so she somehow affected Godwyn's fate; resulting in only Godwyn's soul dying. Was she complicit in this? Was Godwyn a willing participant in the scheme? Is there a bigger picture that we cannot see as of yet?

    • @Galifay
      @Galifay 3 месяца назад +40

      Not super up on my lore, but it may be that Ranni tricked the Black Knives into helping her by saying she wanted to kill Godwyn, probably to send a message to Marika or as revenge for stealing Radagon from Rennala? Either way, Ranni killed herself at the same time, which split the Rune of Death's power between her and Godwyn. Godwyn's soul was destroyed, but Ranni's survived while her body perished.
      The whole Prince of Death and Those Who Live in Death situation was an unintended - or unimportant - result of Ranni's ploy to institute her vision as an Empyrean. Interestingly enough, Miquella's closest relationship outside of Malenia sounds like it was Godwyn, so I'm sure the Night of the Black Knives also threw his fate into motion. I'm really excited to see what lore the DLC has for us.

      The full rune would kill in body and soul. However Ranni orchestrated herself and Godwin getting killed at the same time with half the rune - resulting in her getting only her body killed while her soul remained, while for Godwin only his soul died but the body stayed alive.
      As to why Godwyn - maybe he was the least bad choice? She certainly wouldn't want to sacrifice her full-blood siblings (seems like they were a loving family). Malenia was to strong and Miquella to innocent and pure. The Omen brothers were shunned and propably hard to find trappened beneath the city. That only left Godwyn.

    Keep in this in mind: Death(0) is the absence of Life(+). Not unlike how Cold(0) is the absence of Heat(+). Life can only be born from life. Undeath(-) can only be born from Death(0), which as an absence is not a true physical condition in of itself. No matter what, it relies on Life.
    Those who Live in Death are Undead who, maybe like Godwyn, are dead in soul and are alive in body only. Maybe these Undead are golems/gargoyles in a body that is dead. Are those who Live in Death really living at all? Are they a different kind of life, just a physical body alive with no soul?
