    If I had to summarize Elden Ring lore, it would be “Arthurian Legend meets Lovecraft mythos”.

      That's very accurate from everything I've seen so far. Perfectly summarized.....

    A couple of interesting notes about GRRM's connection to this game:
    - He only wrote the foundation or setup of this lore. Pretty much the back story. Miyazaki even admitted GRRM would be surprised what they did with his characters. This is why Elden Ring still feels like a Fromsoft story because of the liberties they took to GRRM's contribution.
    - I find it funny GRRM didn't even realize this game was a spiritual successor to Dark Souls. In an interview he called it a sequel to Dark Souls.
    - The DLC lore was also written and setup by GRRM back during his role in development, but was never used in the base game. Fromsoft held on to it specifically for the DLC.

    the thing about the erdtree being a parasite is already a bit dated, that's probably wrong, the erdtree seems to be more of some kind of replacement or descendant of the Great tree and not really a parasite, although it has taken the old tree's place by force It's still quite likely

      There is a lot of insinuation that the Erdtree was grafted onto the base of the original evergreen tree. The chaos in the world is actually a consequence of the deciduous Erdtree being incompatible with the evergreen Great Tree's DNA. You can even see signs that the Erdtree was burned once before, most likely in the original seige of the capital that is seen in the trailer for the game. What's left is the partially incorporial form of the Erdtree, which is projected from the Elden Beast.
      I think the Erdtree was sent to rejuvenate and reorder the lands between after the falling of the Great Tree. The chaos of the world needing to be set in order by the Greater Will, which is not actually an Outer God. Outer Gods are more like Kami, as embodiments of the natural alchemical forces which exist in the land. The Greater Will is just that, the will of existence which is greater than any of the Outer Gods or creatures in the lands between and beyond.
      I always imagine Elden Ring as a child playing with toys, ala Lego Movie or such. It just fits the nature of the world so well. The other option is that the entire game takes place in the Greater Will's subconscious, and the events of the world are attempts by the Greater Will to gain full control over it's mind.

    @slayerangel6597 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you want something more consumable and easy to understand, (relatively), Vaati vydia also did a very long video on the lore of another FromSoft game, Armored core 6. It's split up into segments already, so you can stretch it out over a few uploads like you did with Synthetic Man's videos on Fallout. Just a suggestion, as it's a great game and is relatively easy to grasp, unlike Elden Ring. Have a great day!
