Some info from the Book of Knowledges

Newly released Strategy Guide provided some interesting lore info, though I have mixed feelings about it. Placidusax is said to be Elden Lord and not just one of them, but the first Elden Lord from primordial times.

However, it seems like we are dealing with discount Bloodborne after all, really not a fan of it, but this is the closest thing to canon we have until potential DLC will clear up the things. I have no idea how this info works with everything from Farum Azula, especially considering Placidusax's lore provided by the same book, but well.

Also, they put Numen and Alabaster/Onyx Lords in the same category as Astels and outer gods (creatures from the starry void), the latter is especially weird since:

A weapon unique to the Alabaster Lords, a race of ancients with skin of stone who were said to have risen to life when a meteor struck long ago [they didn't came from the space, they were born (JP) after the fall of meteorite]

This book is supposed to be created with the help of From; I've heard that Bloodborne guide from this company has some wrong info (Guidance [3] rune; DLC gems that weren't introduced until DLC, but placed in the base guide; Boss Rush Chalice Dungeons; Spider Chalice Dungeons; School of Mensis is switched with the Choir; the conflicting information of Kos), but I'm not going to argue with its lore, despite having a lot of questions, especially about timeline of the pre-historic civilizations.

So far I'm not going to publish/write more large-scale theories about the setting, and everything I wrote before can be considered as "outdated". Gonna focus on the small details and JP.

#strategy guide #there is a way to connect runes #spirits #and outer gods #assuming that outer gods are connected to the stars #and runes #and knowing that elden ring commans the stars #so by moving runes the stars are getting rearraged #but it's so tiresome #I should've become G//nshin loreblog
