“Why do I feel left out
in a world where everybody’s so loud
But you don’t make a sound
Still you’re the only voice that I can hear in the crowd

Estrelle
(she/her)
Class: Cleric of Selûne
Race: Human
Age: 24 years
Background: Acolyte
Game Progression: Act One
Estrelle was raised in a family of Selunites in Waterdeep, where they frequented the House of the Moon. Her parents served part time in the church, and her older sister, Atienza, was also a cleric of Selûne, working full time in the church.
Wanting to follow in her family’s footsteps, she also became a cleric of Selûne. She also chose this path because she knew if she didn’t, her parents would downright disown her. Growing up, Atienza was the golden child, and Estrelle was always seen as a problem child, even though she was well behaved and worked hard. No matter what she did or how hard she tried, her parents never paid attention to her.
One day, she met a ranger running through the streets frantically asking for help. Thinking nothing of it, Estrelle helps the woman fight a displacer beast out in the forests just outside the city. The ranger, named Faelynn, is impressed by the cleric’s skill and tells her she should join the Harpers. Realizing this can be the start of a new life, away from her family, she accepts Faelynn’s offer, and the Ranger took her under her wing. Soon, the pair become inseparable.

about to beat the game with this character so figured it was about time i shared her. estrel, golden order scion and D's apprentice/adoptive daughter. more about her under the cut because. oh boy this girl's got lore.
one day D came by the Bestial Sanctum to collect his incantations paycheck and gurranq just. had a kid. and he was like "...fuck it, i could use some backup anyway" and the rest is history
current working theory is that she came up from the deep siofra well? but this is all a big question mark.
D is the one who gave her the name estrel, to reflect her new surface life as a hunter of death (and because i fucking love elden ring's thing with characters having multiple names). uldin is her original name, but sees very little use nowadays
she's a golden order fundamentalist but she'll also employ bestial (of course) and dragon cult, erdtree and two fingers incantations, and also some misc. sorceries when the need arises. no fire or black flame until after farum azula, and no dragon communion/bloodflame/etc ever.
she wasn't actually that interested in lordship at first, until it became clear that pursuing it was the only way to change the state of the world and permanently free those who live in death. for most of the game her goal is just to weed deathroot
...well, until D dies. then she's out for revenge. she does kill fia; it doesn't feel as good as she'd hoped, but at least she's dead.
she also lands herself in ranni's entourage, but isn't aware at the time of her role in the night of black knives. when she does find out, she leaves ranni's service for a while
the whole game is kind of a crisis of conscience for her, honestly. it takes fia's death, and seeing the death-prince in person, for her to finally determine that she will do whatever it takes to stand before the elden ring and fix what she's come to see as a deep sickness at the heart of the golden order—the rune of death being only mostly sealed, an age where none can truly die.
(those who live in death, tarnished reincarnation—it's all the same. souls are trapped in a twilight, becoming sickened by death without the release and return it should rightly bring. the sun needs to set on the golden prince, so that they may break through the night to a new dawn.)
other misc npc questlines: nepheli (childhood friends at the roundtable), rogier (tries to help him behind D's back, regrets it), sellen (aids her), corhyn and goldmask (eventually gets the mending rune of perfect order)

The Emergent Narrative in Elden Ring
I've been wanting to talk about this since I met brother Corhyn but I waited because I wanted to see how far my story would carry me. And the answer was all the way. Warning that I will be spoiling some major plot points in the game.
I started Elden Ring with next to no knowledge of the plot. I had watched zero videos, read zero synopses, nothing. At the character creation screen, I said, "I want to walk into this with a backstory." I saw that confessor was a starting class and came up with one very easily:
A woman of mid-high rank in a religious order. The high priests falsely accused her of heresy and had her burned alive. That inspired this appearance. Meet Estrelle:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I fell in love with this look so hard that the only headgear I ever wore was the commoner's headband. I wanted to see this.
So I enter The Lands Between. I am told of the Elden Lord and what needs to be done to deliver these lands from their current catastrophe.
One of the first things I find is a book of prayers. I take it to a priest named Corhyn. The prayers turn out to be heresy against the dominant religion (the Golden Order is the presiding power). I am immediately hooked because my character was accused of the same in my own made up backstory. So I immediately start exploring what counts as heresy in these lands because if my own order could be led astray, could not the Golden Order?
After some time, I meet Miriel who is a pastor of divine wisdom. He hits me with this line which was nothing short of absolution:
"Heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All things can be conjoined."
From here on, all heretical writings were brought to Miriel because I know he will teach without judgment.
As the game progressed, I learned more of the Golden Order, of how the church maintained a social hierarchy alongside the royalty in the capital city of Leyendell. One thing to know about the lands between is that it grows more destitute the farther away from the capital you travel. The Fringelands, they are called, where societies become so desperate for change that they enact abominations upon themselves and others in the hopes of finding a power that can unseat the current Lord.
It turns out that most of these religions--but primarily the Golden Order--answer to the Greater Will which is a mysterious eminence beyond understanding which bequeaths power to those deemed fit to hold the title of Lord etc etc. Allegedly, only a select few understand the machinations of the Greater Will. Estrelle had heard all this before. Hogwash, we'll call it.
So the seed is planted in my mind. The social hierarchy needs to be overturned and the influence of the Greater Will needs to be cut off.
That's when I met Ranni the Witch. As it turns out, she had some similar ideas to me. She was selected as Lord-worthy but she wants nothing to do with that. She wants the Lands to be without a lord. Through her, I discover it is possible to kill the ones who are enacting the Greater Will's manipulations. All I have to do is carve a path for her.
So I do. During all this, I also discover that the loss of Death in this realm can be undone. That the strange immortality that many experience can be cut off. So I can simultaneously bring back the concept of mortality and end the meddling of an outside entity and destroy the societal constructs that are causing so much inequality.
And then something magical happens. You see, my primary companion has been a woman named Melina. She tells me that, in order to progress, she will have to sacrifice herself to the fires of creation. I am saddened at this news but she seems determined. I know how horrendous death by fire is. This young woman does not deserve this fate.
But someone tells me there's another way. I have to explore this if I can save Melina. I learn of the Frenzied Flame. It represents chaos. I go through hell to find this flame and an the way, I find one of the most powerful images in the game. One of the lowly wretches, one who follows the frenzy, one who is emaciated, blind, poor, and-- to the understanding of the Order--unable to experience grace, is playing an instrument. He is sitting on a ledge and playing a mournful tune and I sit and listen to him for a long while. This man in the middle of all the strife and chaos is creating something beautiful. I am determined to put an end to the Golden Order. The meek shall inherit.
I press on into the lair of the Frenzied Flame and I'm shocked to learn that it is one of the agents of the Greater Will, though it is not connected to the others, it seems. So I enact a plan. I ally myself with the frenzied flame because I need it to spare Melina an excruciating death. I do not intend to maintain this allegiance. There is a cost, however. The flame engulfs my body and I think "I was killed by fire, I know this pain and I can withstand it."
Melina, upon learning of this, believes I have thrown my hat in with a force that will ruin the world. She abandons me but that is fine as long as she lives. So I use the flame to gain access to the inner realms of the kingdom (which involves me, once again, sacrificing myself to fire.) My character is covered in scars from the repeated burnings. I look like this now:
Tumblr media
Something interesting happened, though, when I severed my connection with the frenzied flame. Something subtle that had no impact on the literal narrative of the game but which made me lose my mind. Estrelle's vision was restored.
Tumblr media
By sacrificing herself through the frames of frenzy and then again to access the inner realms, by choosing to submit to fire to save her friend, Estrelle found herself with her useless eye renewed.
Quite literally, she could see what needed to be done. This was a sign, not from God, not from the Greater Will, not from any holy text, but from within her own body, her own soul.
Along the way, she discovered an ability. In game terms, it was the Inescapable Frenzy incantation but essentially you grab someone by the head and forcibly make eye contact with them and your force of will drives them to insanity. The description of this ability reads:
"To gaze into one another's eyes is truly the most intimate form of human contact."
One of the last obstacles in my way was someone determined to maintain, even increase, the influence of the Golden Order. When Estrelle grabbed him and looked into his eyes, when she opened wide both windows into her soul, it overwhelmed this tiny man and his understanding of the world and he fucking died.
I was fucking losing my mind at this point. All of this storyline was happening because of a random decision I made to come up with an arbitrary backstory that was created before I knew any of the game's plot.
I carry on with the game and finally defeat the current Elden Lord. From here, unfortunately, I have to choose one ending. Either Ranni's path or the path of restoring death to the lands. In my heart, I know that both things happen though in the 'canon' only one does.
And this is how I ended Elden Ring. Someone who died in flames at the hand of religious abuse proudly bearing the molten scars of repeated fiery sacrifice to free The Lands Between from the influence of 'gods' who do no more than subjugate the poor and unfortunate.
Tumblr media
There are so many other connections in the game to this backstory but this post would be like 4 times longer if I tried to go through all of it and most of them are not as Holy Shit Big as these were.

Royal Save - Family Portraits - Chesterfield
Countess Estrel of Chesterfield and Lord Afonso (red shirt) and Eduardo of Chesterfield.
Their parents died in an accident when Estelle was 16 and their lawyer was a crooked evil man who also stole their inheritance money. That is how Estrel ended in Chesterfield to live with her two little brothers in a simple home she managed to pay from her own savings.

hi back with more laurence questions. when like specifically did he and estrel meet? like what event? did they hate each other from the get go or were they frenemies/academic rivals with tension immediately? thank you so much!
In honor of Valentine's Day, I'll be generous and say they looked at each other and saw potential to ruin the king.
In all honesty, they met when he had been a student at university for a year and she was trying to get accepted. They asked her to do something impossible, and so Estrel did it. Laurence was there.
It was loathing at first sight - he thought she was self-centered and far too blunt for academia, and she thought he was a rich royal with no understanding of how the world worked outside of his bubble. They were, of course, both correct.
Unfortunately, they were both the only people in the university who knew what the other was talking about when discussing theoretical magical concepts. They had to work together if they wanted to get anywhere.
Doubly unfortunate, Estrel was blocked from studying the noonday arts and forced into studying the midnight arts so that she could effectively by the king's personal future teller. Laurence was driven to use his abilities and knowledge to developing a way to save the king should the worst happen. Both of them hated it.
But they felt as if they had to prove themselves to the system they hated so that it would accept them. So they tried. And tried. And tried.
They had many failed experiments, several spectacular fights, and one utterly successful test of in which they successfully transferred organs from a donor cadaver to a willing patient and saved their life. They're the ones that developed the techniques that would later be used by the king against his own people, and they decided the moment the experiment was successful to stall as long as possible before giving it to him. That was the moment they became allies.
And also (if you ask Laurence's mother) about five years after they fall in love but didn't realize it.
"What sort of enemies invent a way to communicate in real time?" she probably said while rolling her eyes.
