| <br>Much like the worlds of its predecessors in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls , the primary setting of the Elden Ring action RPG, the Lands Between, is heavily flavored after the cultures of pre-modern Europe. Many early-game and underrated Elden Ring weapons – rapiers, maces, scimitars, pikes, longbows, crossbows, zweihanders – are deliberately modeled after the real-life designs and proportions of medieval/Renaissance weaponry and act as grounded contrasts to the larger, magical, and downright fantastical weapons introduced in Elden Ring 's late g<br><br> <br>These bosses committed some of the worst atrocities in **Elden Ring ** .

During the Shattering, Mohg claimed a shard of the Elden Ring for himself, but he remained out of the war. Instead, he kidnapped the Empyrean, Miquella, from the Haligtree.

Sir Gideon Ofnir, one of the most notable Tarnished to return to the Lands Between at the beginning of Elden Ring , also contends with the evil demigods in his pursuit of the throne and eternal knowledge.

Most of the Twinblades in Elden Ring 's base game aren't modeled after any real-life polearms in particularly, instead seeming to draw inspiration from the double-bladed energy sabers seen in sci-fi franchises like Star Wars . The twirling move-set of Twinblades, however, does have a basis in the staff-fighting techniques traditional to many martial arts systems across the world. The introduction of blade-less DLC staff weapons such as quarterstaves, bo staves, or fighting canes could give Elden Ring players a new blunt-force weapon class while also making cosplay builds of fantasy characters such as the Monkey King Sun Wukong from Black Myth: Wukong much more via<br> | | <br>When creating an Elden Ring character , players can choose from a set of default physical templates. One of these templates is called Numen, a race of people described as " supposed descendants of denizens of another world. Long-lived but seldom born ." The shaggy hair and sharp brow of this character template bears a strong resemblance to modern day reconstructions of Neanderthals, an ancient subspecies of archaic human from the Stone Age.

Near the height of the Golden Order - the divinely-inspired monarchy which rules over the Lands Between's denizens - Elden Ring 's Queen Marika the Eternal banished a number of her subjects from her realm, stripping away the golden Grace that had once connected these individuals to the power and vitality of the Erdtree. These Tarnished people departed the Lands Between, embarking on a long voyage to other lands, carving out new, lesser lives for themselves, until the guidance of Grace returned and called them to the Lands Between once more.
