Fromsoft games are known for their deep and meandering lore. Getting to the depths of anything requires diving into the deepest parts of the world. Finding the ambiguous information in it will piece together and explain the bigger picture. This is what will now be explored in the world of Elden Ring.
Sharon shines in the 2022 Championship – Elden Ring. They are a different breed than the undead seen in the Dark Souls series, the knight of demon spirits, or even the hunter in Bloodborne. Although many will liken them to their ancestors, the Tarnishes have their own origins and traditions linked to their lineage.

Motherland
Before one can understand who the deformed are, one must understand their homeland and their history. They were once famous residents of the “Lands Between” before taking their current title. It was a kingdom ruled by the Great Will through the Eternal Elden Ring Queen Marica, who was watching over Erdtree.
Queen Marica was the ship of the Elden Ring and ruled the Earth with her male half – Radagon. Being an Elden Ring ship gave her the status of a goddess, and she had to rule over the lands in between, but there were those who had never heard of such a thing. She and her husband, Elden Lord Godfrey, would fight all those opposed to Erdtree.
In the end, she removed Rune of Death from the Elden Ring because she wished for a world without specific death. This later prevented the mutilators (who had fallen from Erdtiri’s blessing) from dying, banishing them from the lands in between. It wasn’t Queen Marica’s only challenge in the face of an outer god that helped her ascend to divinity. She and Radagon are locked away for their crimes.
grace lost
The Queen’s first husband, Queen Godfrey’s wife, was the first extant Lord Elden. As the queen’s husband, he sought to carry out the order of his goddess, and thus received the title of lord. He will continue to help her conquer the lands between the Great Will. In the end, Elden Lord Godfrey also became the first deformed.
After facing his biggest opponent, he lost the light around him which indicated Erdtree’s favoritism. Something in the battle with the Fire Giant changed Godfrey. He no longer had his will to fight, and that was when he lost the grace bequeathed to him as it had been to all others in the lands in between. The eternal Queen Marica had no choice but to follow the great will and banish her husband and lover.
Others began to lose Erdtree’s grace and became disfigured. They were all banished from the lands in between but were unable to die because Queen Marica tampered with the Elden Ring. In the end, Queen Marica’s firstborn is killed, shattering Elden’s ring.
I want you to call
After the Elden Ring crashed into Runes, the Demigod began to compete for the right to become the Elden Lord. As they claimed individual runes from the broken Elden Ring, the fight continued. In the end, new areas were settled where not a single superpower could claim all the runes to remake the Elden Ring. Time seemed to stand still as the battles raged with no real end.
Great willpower was weakened by the crash and imprisonment of the Eternal Queen. Erdtree began to lose strength, and the Earth’s grace of the Great Will became weaker. Set its sights on restoration, the Great Will sought power beyond the boundaries of the lands between the two countries.
The corrupt were summoned from their exile. Now, they were given a chance to become Elden’s master if they could regain the lost blessing by remaking the Elden Ring from the scattered runes. Once back in the land every now and then, few polluters were able to perceive the bliss. Those who proved their worth were brought to the round table session, but some of them were summoned by another being. The Two-Finger Maiden will pick a select few of the Deformed to give directions in hopes of becoming the lord Tarned.
Not all of those who had imploded and returned to the Lands Between could keep Hope alive. They will succumb to becoming bloody fingers. Evil blood has corrupted these fallen ones, and now they are hunting down fellow impurities for fun. Rejoice in the blood, spilled. They can no longer be brought back to the side of grace, and they must put an end to them or put an end to the Tarnish.
Now, the Tarnishes are left to fend for themselves in a world that has abandoned them. All this hoped that one would become the master of Alden and restore order to the lands between.
