3rd Person POV
A picture of a woman was seen. She appeared to be smashing something with a hammer, creating a glow that lit like the sun.
The fallen leaves tell a story.
Then a man was hitting it with the same hammer. A closer image was shown of the hammer hitting the same thing the woman was smashing.
The great Elden Ring was shattered.
An image showed of the ocean's waves, along with a castle, and a glowing light from behind it.
In our home, across the fog, the Lands Between.
The image of a queen was shown, who had blonde hair and a golden crown.
Now, Queen Marika the Eternal is nowhere to be found.
Many assassins wearing black cloaks were seen stabbing a man's back with their daggers, creating some sort of cursemark on him.
And in the night of the black knives, Godwyn the Golden was first to perish.
A witch with blue clothes and a blue hat was then shown.
Soon, Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring.
Someone wearing a cloak was stabbing someone with a large cane. Then a woman, who was holding a trident, was carrying a boy. Then a serpent was around a pope's head, biting it.
The mad taint of their newfound strength triggered the Shattering.
A battlefield was shown. A woman in armor was fighting a giant who held two greatswords.
A war from which no lord arose. A war leading to abandonment by the Greater Will.
(Music at 2:04)
Catacombs were then shown, filled with tombstones and decaying corpses. A mysterious figure was standing in front of them.
Oh~ Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all.
A man with weapons piercing through his abdomen was standing, along with a great lion behind him. Near the man was a faint light.
Hoarah Loux, chieftain of the badlands.
A man was lying on the floor, who wore a mask that looked like the sun. He, too, also had a similar light.
The ever-brilliant Goldmask.
A woman was next to a dead king. She also saw the faint light next to her.
Fia, the Deathbed Companion.
A man was hanged, with many people throwing filth at him, as birds circled around him from above. The light was near his armor.
The loathsome Dung Eater.
Finally, a man who was in a coffin that's filled with ears and eyes, holding a box, surrounded by people. The faint light shined on his chest.
And Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-knowing!
