Elden Ring - All 6 known Endings 

If you use the needle to remove frenzy at the secret dragon boss from Melinia? its give the 7th ending?

Persownage If you didn’t sacrifice Melina, it just gives a variation of the frenzy flame with extra dialogue(and a very interesting reveal).

I don't really care for the lore or anything to do with it. but I'm confused wich one of these is supposed to be the good ending?

@@batttletrenches2380 ok so as i and many interpret it, Ranni's ending is technically the most philanthropic one since it cleanses the world of any higher being influence and gives them the right to freedom and choice. The age of blessed curse is the most evil one since you're basically cursing people and torturing them because of what you've done The age of order is the most "peaceful" one since the justice system is now more absolute, so imagine a court that can reveal any lie and pass guilty to only the truly guilty. The frenzied flame is the destroyer ending since you basically become a sun god that brings chaos and destruction to all life.

If u obtain frenzy flame and didn't cure yourself you cant summon ranni at the ending anymore?

Probably the one with the ring

just finished the game with this ending and I legit had the same question but a bit different.. " Do I get to kiss both hands ? "

@@tristandelhaye519 meow? Meow meow!

of course, all of them

Well, you've got two hands so you can grab both. Just looks a bit weird probably.

Technically at the end he is freed from the chains, but decides to stay anyways at the throne.

Well basically you do free him after killing Elden Beast. Though what happens next might depend on ending: -If you restore Marika his curse may be reapplied even if he succeeded since the whole point was Marika's own want to free herself -Lord of Frenzied flame kills him most likely, he will burn away with the roundttable as Marika won't be there to hold it together. -Age of Starts might be the best ending for Hewgh, you'll fulfill both his and Marika's goals and will have the autonomy to set him free.

Yes, but it's all the same

Hopefully in that ending he doesn't assume I'm dead every time I'm not within earshot of him lol

Beautiful 😢

The fire tells the story. The screams of the fire.

If you become Lord of Frenzied Flame before Melina's sacrifice at the Forge of The Giants by burning the Erdtree yourself, you will get an additional chilling cutscene!!

May chaos take the world.

@@smileandnodd MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!

The fallen leaves did not tell a story there

I got that ending, it was a nice one

I got this one. Enjoyed it and fitting since I used dark moon sorcery and the dark moon greatsword to defeat melania, radogan and the beast

@Alex I just got this ending, didnt look up anything for it.

"consort" here just means follower. Ranni's ending is you just becoming her slave for eternity lol

@@Lee-km7qq that’s completely the wrong take. 🤡

Truly immersive

9:50 is the most intimidating one in my opinion. You really look the part of a final boss for the next challenger to the throne.

Would've been funny to just be naked with all the endings. But it's cooler to fit in with the story.

as one should

Ranni’s Ending: Dressed as her brother. Definitely dressed for the occasions

so we finally got some maiden XD

I got it. the last line that I got become "let us go... my dear consort, eternal"

@@maymainssharedonebraincell6022 not just a maiden, a wife.

Lover acquired

Mating Press Ranni.

That Ring wasn't the Elden Ring, that was Torrent's spirit whistle.

That’s kinky, what a dirty girl…

It's Torrent's whistle. By choosing the frenzied flame route, you betrayed Torrent. It is a bad ending.

i would guess you got the frenzied flame scar before burning the erdtree, in other words melina didnt sacrifice herself so she is still alive in the end to hunt you down

@@diegoh7506 ah that makes sense!

Simple Terms Age of Stars: Fate is no more, mortals decide for themselves what comes next Lord of Frenzied Flame: The world burns, and nothing will rise from the ashes Age of Despair: Everyone will know the curse, and thus if everyone is cursed, no one is cursed Age of Order: Goldmask identified the root of the Golden Order’s failures, and decided, similar to Ranni, if we are to be ruled by flawed and fickle beings, at least let us be ruled by beings that accept their flaws and fickle behaviours Age of Duskborn: Life after death, it is not a sin, nor straying from the natural order, for it has become the natural order Age of Fracture: Nothing really changed, the only difference now is a new person sits on the throne

Nice analysis(idk what else to call it)

My job isn’t to fix everyone’s problems my job is to become Elden Lord

thank you ssssooo much

@@logeyperogi1805 Age of Fracture: Oh, I wouldn't say "freed". More like "under new management".

So shocked at how many simps there are but I guess if you're taunted about being maidenless long enough, it'll get to you huh. Yeah but I dunno if I'm okay with plunging the world into darkness, fear and doubt, which is exactly what Ranni said will happen and a 1000 years of it. The age of the moon is a fancy way to say that it's going to be night forever, in a world where you own grandmother probably wants to kill you. Hard pass thanks. Well whatever makes you happy I suppose.

I dont know if thats what it is I read somewhere that she means she will guide those who are under said things to a better future, could be wrong tho

@@darthvictus1680 she literally says that the world will embark on a voyage through the stars filled with loneliness and darkness. bro look at those creepy undead hands of hers as she reaches for your hands, you seriously think she's going to help humanity? She was responsible for plunging the world into the darkness that has been caused and obviously she did so for power, which she gets if you side with her. Even I sided with her because the alternatives are lackluster.

You didn’t know there were multiple endings? Must be your first souls game lol.

@@rezarfar She does say there’s a set amount of time to it, which is kinda odd. combined with other things shes said it leaves me to believe it’s more of venturing into the darkness, into the loneliness and conquering it and coming out of it anew

The Age of The Pot Lord?

How will we know it will be for the better? Ranni has shown multiple times she is willing to go to extreme meassures to get what she wants, what if she and her Consort end up as Tyrants or make the world a chaotic mess? It is by far the Ending that leaves the most questions, questions that wont be answered. In any case It is a great questline, but too many people miss the plotpoint that Ranni is Evil and what she is doing is Tyranical. Like, she is doing a 'Thanos', Erasing everything to make something new the way she wants it. We cant even know if it will solve anything or make it worse.

​@@bluntlyhonest6803 thats why its so interesting, sure we could just fix "death" and get the grey ending, but ranni straight up rewriting the world order. Like the reason we respawn in elden ring is BECAUSE death is broken. She's literally rewriting the world order into something new. Never said she was good or bad, but certainly the most interesting. Heck, in her new world Good and Bad might not exist as we know it.

@@pokemon202668 Really interresting way of looking at it, but then again, we have seen what 'order' has done for the world, new or old order, what will it matter? It is just a car with a new coat of paint. That is how i see it anyway. Let Chaos take the world i say.

@@bluntlyhonest6803 that's basically what ranni is doing. She's cutting us free of the influence of the two fingers and their "Golden Order" which is basically the rules that govern the world. Same way in our world we have things such as the laws of physics, or gravity. Ranni more or less has no real end goal aside from freedom from the outer gods as i understood it. Hence the finger cutting blade.

@@pokemon202668 That just begs the question, why do all this, just to take up the role of the gods? Ranni is a Hypocrite in my eyes.

It's literally the best ending. I chose it because Ranni is the first major NPC you meet.

That’s an interesting interpretation, just like I’ve heard Ranni’s ending called Bloodborne-esque

imagine the cutscene ends and you hear an old woman saying “in the Age of Ancients”

This is brilliant

If that is the case I am quite intrigued, since Patches is in it (he is still a donkey hole) which supports it, I wonder if Elden Ring is a main point of a timeline which leads to different endings as some sort of different dimension or future that leads to the other Souls like games or something.

because it is

I'd argue that Age of the Order is Lawful Evil, since the Golden Order dictates right and wrong. And what used to be considered Divine (the Crucible) is now blasphemy under the Golden Order

⁠@@diomed96age of order is all the problems of the previous order fixed by goldmask, how is it evil if it intends to fix the wrongs?

@@stefankostovski80 Ok, I haven't personally done the goldmask ending, but if that's case then it sounds fine to me too

​@@diomed96not true. Goldmask is against the human-gods because they are fallible. So he was to change the order from coming from humans to coming from itself(the order), becoming the natural law of the world devoid of any influence. With the ending there will be no more gods, but a normal world. This is my interpretation of the finale.

I’d call the age of order LN but that’s just me.

That is the bad ending tho

@@pratiksengupta5336 How so? The despair one and FF one are definitely the bad endings. The normal ending essentially starts the cycle over again with reviving Marika and becoming her consort. The Erdtree is restored as well as in the Goldmask ending, implying that the Greater Will still calls the shots through the Erdtree and Elden Ring. Creepy af perfectionism and eternal shit are not natural and Marika wouldn't have smashed the ring without good reason. She coulda realized her wrongs and thought that was the only way to fight the Greater Will and have someone finish the fight. The Duskborn is the middle-ground, imo. Not as good as Ranni's but not bad either.

@@Sean-jt1hd ranni’s ending still confuses me but it was still very interesting. Duskborn is my fave, even though it doesnt get a dedicated cutscene

The age of duskborn has the most peaceful ending music. I love the violin sound as the screen fades to black and the narrator seems to sound the most calm in this ending as well.

Nah, Age of the Stars is my favorite

trust me, i really wanna do the ranni one… but to see my god of a tarnished sitting on that throne, wearing a mix of armours of gathered from vanquished foes.

Lmao 🤣 that’s a great idea

@@jackbrown1018 maybe the Demi gods armors

@@alexandergwg1 I always wear my friends' armors. Blaidd, Rogier, Yura etc.

Bro i just finished the game a couple of hours ago (Ik kinda late to the party) and got Ranni's ending first unknowingly, and damn Im upset that I dont even get to see my character sit on the realy hard worked for throne D: Felt like a slap in the face in a way. Sorry if there are some words that I wrote incorrectly, english is not my native language.

Was their meant to be a pun in their?

@@dominickroberts4653 No😅

would you say it was a…frenzied blast…?

This was the ending i got, got chills It felt like my character was going insane because of all the deaths he witnessed, and becoming the lord of madness made sense to finish off my character's story arc

Gow better tho

you can hear the narrator's contempt for the accursed Tarnished thar doomed all of the world

The Narrator is horrified that the world become so much bleaker than before, because the Tarnished trusts The Loathsome Dung Eater.

@@Big_Chico Or joy, if you think of it positively.

I would say the reason we don't get a narrator in Ranni's ending is that we accompany her to her order in the stars, leaving the Lands Between. Ranni's order is an order separate from the Lands between, allowing the people to live a life no longer defined or ordained by others. While in frenzied flame, there is no one left to narrate, except for Melina, which this compilation leaves out, stupidly.

@@batman-hv9wp No, Marika removed destined death upon becoming elden lord. The Elden ring existed long before the golden order came into existence, and destined death was a rune within the elden ring

@@thatssomegoodpie nope

You are right about the them translating it wrong

I got Ranni's ending and that is what I got from it. I went "uh oh. She wasn't so nice at the end. 🤣 I screwed everyone over." Nice to know it was not the intent.

Reminds me of the Independent Ending in New Vegas. It ends with Yes Man saying he's going to reprogram himself to be "More assertive", implying he intends to betray you and steal your power. However, an interview with the Devs later confirmed that wasn't the intention, rather Yes Man is saying he will listen to only you, and not anyone who happens to walk by.

her whole thing is essentially creating the veil

The official translators have since responded to this with the fact that; when they translate there are multiple reviews of the text between them and Miyazaki to align the dialogue with what most resembles his intent, this goes with the tone of the voice acting as well. Meaning, the people who worked with the team did not mess-up the translation, that's just fans taking raw japanese dialogue and doing their own translation without consulting the actual writers of the story.

@@yungwrld9923 just questlines and their respective mending rune for example for the ending of blessing of despair you have to do the dung eaters questline and get his mending rune not the rune arc item thats gives you some buff or shiiet

@@yungwrld9923 at the end of certain NPC's questlines you get a mending rune tied to a specific ending, using that at the end of the game after the final boss will give you a different ending based off of which mending rune is used.

same and although i'll always complain that we dont and wish that we get an insight into what happens after, it will never properly happen. It's like how most movies end and we only get a scene telling us or showig hints of the future. Sucks tho. Its partly why i like proper RPGs so much but they are hard to come by. ER might be my new fave game along side stuff like morrowind but i'll stillalways crave for more. Imagine a dlc where we are the elden lord and can rebuild the lands between and go on dates with whoever our maiden is in the ending we had. Would be sick. But hey, that's partly why i started writing - so i can do that with my own stories inspired by all the medi i consume.

Interesting. But who are we punishing? The victims? The Outher Gods are the ones to blame. I believe that life in Lands Between deserves second chance.

That's why I think we will get the 7th ending from DLC, the Miquella's Ending. There will be some sort of fight against outher gods and in the result the Haligtree/Miquella/Player will become the Only God of Lands Between.

The frenzied flame ending can be kinda justified as not evil if you think that life is inherently a negative thing Dung Eater on the other end is just nothing but evil

Welcome to the Soulsborne series, you'll get used to it

That's how it was in all souls games I think, you get to choose multiple endings, but you don't know how they will end, because that is yet to happen. Hewg and Roderika aren't related to the Elden Lord so I don't know why would they be mentioned.

@@natedogmarik2554 Eh, I would argue Sekiro avoided the final boss problem that is described here, by making the final boss a character that you interact constantly during the game instead of some vague guy that you read in the lore about.

@@zumanitydelights251 how do you even get the items in the tents? I thought my game was glitched lol.

Melina is a part of Ranni by using the frenzied flame you killed her...

I don't know if you need to get down there the first time, but I remember missing the shield and trying to get it. One of the times I fell straight in the middle of a rubble of bricks and survived. I thought it was some sort of bug (since I had my menu open at the time, trying to see if the Dark Souls 1 falling glitch work with the Cat Ring) and survived, then I tried it without the ring, without menu and I survive too. I came to the conclusion you can just jump straight to the middle (if you don't get about getting the heaviest shield in the game)

I see this as their world philosophy not being strong enough. Fish, Eater and Goldmask all had their very strong views on how the world should be, and they dedicated their lives committing to making their vision real. That's what IMO takes to produce a mending rune. Ranni herself too has a strong philosophy and intention of reshaping the world, but in her ending you are being a side character to her, so she mends the Elden Ring. In age of fracture your player character applies non other than his own world view and intention into mending the Ring. So for other characters - eh. Gideon is given up after learning the truth, that's what his armor says after you receive it after, well, fighting him, where he says that "no one can repair the Ring and kill a god". Not even him. So, his philosophy and will is weak. Nepheli already came from the lineage of Elden Lord, but she's more descendant of Hoarah Loux than Godfrey, meaning she's more exiled tarnished than contender to the lineage (unlike Godrick) and she's... Ok with that? She happily takes crown of stormveil from Kenneth, and says that she will turn the winds in right way, meaning she's ok with being a queen of stormveil, and that's it. The only other characters that IMO are capable of having a mending rune, od even mending Elden Ring themselves is Rykard, Morgott and Miquella. Rykard because of all blasphemy staff, devour the gods, yadda yadda. Guy is committed towards changing the definition of what's right and what's wrong, and very much wants to end golden order. Morgott has the dedication and will towards making things right, but the Tree rejected him, just as everyone. He is not going to burn it because he dedicated his whole life towards it; loves it without it loving him back. So he has no means to claim the Elden throne. Also he's an omen, which is against the golden order. Which he loves. So, yeah. And Miquella is the most powerful Empyrean, they have the ability to become Elden lord just by heritage, AND everyone and their mom loves Miquella. But, they're fucked up by Mogh, and before that they fucked up their relationship with order because GO couldn't help Malenia, so Miquella said "ok fuck you then"

with abt 2 sentences you made me appreciate rykard as a character a *lot* more (and everything else made me actually understand the lore) but now I wish we could actually see more of him and what he wanted to accomplish happening in dlc, but all I can do is hope for him to be more involved in dlc

Gideon says before fighting him that none (either you or him) will take the throne, and that no man can kill a god. His research most likely led him to believe the mission was simply impossible, which is why he gives up and tries to stop you. I enjoy the irony of the "All-Knowing" being proven wrong by the player, as we do in fact slay a god and become Elden Lord by the end of it all. It makes Gideon's character more intereesting, IMO.

@@CidGuerreiro1234 why does he try and stop us?

@@cryptiik9311 he sucks

yeah just wish i could see what happens after and get an insgight into out life together but like most movies we dont normally see much of after unless its a sequel. A good old elden lord life sim dlc would be mad tho lmao. Impossible tho

simp!

@@dumbass6314 but you dont get the Melina extra cutscene if she Is burnt in the Giants flamr

@@micheleallocca9366 we already knew about this. if you get marked by the 3 fingers before she burns the erdtree there is an extra cutscene.

It might be the canon ending to make a way for another game where your character is Melina fighting your way to fight your character in elden ring or something

The ring is torrent's wistle

@@omagkabacan2109 don't think we will ever use a set character in a from game, but Melina quest to kill the lord of Chaos Is an open final that can be a very good premise for another Adventure in the elden ring universe. In dark souls saga thousands of years pass inbetween the games, so something similar can happen in elden ring

Peruano ser como 🇵🇪

Big oopsie

I did the frenzied flame ending once to get the achievement, and I regretted it the whole time I did it

Pretty sure they added more of her quest line after this new patch, it's probably available now

@@evnbd1370 i was just gonna say that. they added more dialogue now/probably extended her quest line. hopefully this offers a new ending

So as far as endings go, its pretty much a wrap, what has been data mined in the game files, 100% indicates these are the endings and there are no secret endings or alternates from these at the moment.

@@trask9100 No, there is one more, the age of absolution. No one has found out how to achieve it yet

@@terenliu8149 Literally nothing has been found in datamining for the age of absolution in the current game files. It might be dlc, or cut content, but at the moment its not in the game, if it ever was or is planned to be.

There are different variations on endings as well, depending on what you've done. I got a variation of the chaos ending where that maiden girl opens her eye and says she's gonna hunt me down. There's also 4 other variations I saw mentioned depending on who's runes you got (optional bosses and NPCs included)

Sadly to tell you that... 1. Fracture Ending (Dung Eater, Goldmask, Fia and normal ending) all of these are consider 1 ending. 2. Age of Stars 3. Lord of the Frenzied Flame So in total there are only 3 Ending but there are rumour to be a 4th one.

@@T.A95 The Elden Lord endings are separate endings even if they all award the same achievement. Each Rune of Mending changes the Lands Between drastically in the lore and thus are clearly different.

@@NATIK001 And yet it's consider Fracture Ending because you do the exact same thing kill the boss and put it back again and become a Lord. The point of Fracture Ending is that you replace the old Lord but a Lord of what and that's where you come in.

@@T.A95 No the fracture ending is different to the other Elden Lord endings. They all see you become Elden Lord, but the world is changed depending on the ending chosen. Fractured is the status quo, everything is as it is but you now rule. Duskborn imparts a new version of death into the world, life within death and clouds the world in fog. You rule a world where the concept of death is forever changed. Order sees the world return to what it was before Marika shattered the Elden Ring. This ending is the closest to the Fractured ending. Despair covers the world in the Dung Eater's curse, everyone suffers horribly under your new terrible rule. These endings have clear differences and while they all see you sit on the throne, the world you rule is going to be radically different depending on your choice.

you can still choose the chaos route to save melina, then undo the frenzied ending with the unalloyed needle. however, hyetta will get burned alive instead :(

You can use the unalloyed needle in where Dragonlord placidurax is after burning the tree with it, it will remove the three fingers corruption from you. That's the only way to save melina and not get the chaos ending from what I know

@@Hirotoro4692she does? That’s interesting I haven’t done that quest line yet

@@gasalpha879 you mean Miquellas needle?

Apparently there is, age of blood is mentioned in the game files but nobody has found how to complete it yet. My theory is that it is either scrapped content or extremely hidden

@Bob Duckington you missed something then

@Bob Duckington the egg is miquella body

@@jacksonambrozio6912 yeah i think they knows

Bloodborne 2

Ranni's ending is the only ending which acknowledges that there is no going back-arguably the Age of Order ending manages *to* go back, and fix what happened, but we can't be certain it succeeded and the capital is still Ash even in it. Instead, Ranni sees a terrifying, awe inspiring, perilous, and lonely journey into the future-and is willing to meet it with you. It's the truest ending, because we can never fix the past. We can only go forward, into the perilous unknown. (and which does not simply destroy the world in some way or another instead of dealing with the problem)

@@MrCharles7994 brother i just completed the game got the Ranni ending but I didnt understand shit it was so hard to understand why is it like that? (New to the souls games) Can anybody explain the story summery for me like telling a idiot 😂 plz

The Armored Core world line ending

@@arda7881 The TL:DR version: You choose to side with Ranni, who is empowered by a different force than the rest of the Gods/Demigods, destroying that force and allowing the world to finally progress past it's roots. To explain in depth.... Basically, there are these outer Gods which gain power from the stars-the Greater Will and the Dark Moon are the important ones here. These outer Gods empower Demigods as "Empyreans" to act as their instruments, working via the "two fingers", alien beings that commune their will. Most Empyreans and Fingers are associated with the Greater Will, which is the dominant power in this world, but the Frenzied Flame and Goddess of Rot also exists in the background, irrelevant to this ending. Basically: the Dark Moon is a force that is different from the Greater Will. The Greater will represents order, and dominates the world through the Erdtree and its Vassal, Marika. They did this through the Elden Ring-the order of the world, minus the Rune of Death, which was entrusted to Marika's brother. The Dark Moon, as much as we know, represents a journey into the unknown and terrifying future, but one which *can* be completed. Marika was the God of the Greater will, an Empyrean who was raised to true Godhood at the Erdtree. She represents the order of the world. Her husband, the Elden Lord, is the master of the age, and to be Elden Lord is to be husband to Marika. Her children by various lords are the demigods. There are three lineages. The first is the lineage of Godfrey, who was Marika's first husband. He was a mighty warrior who fell out of favor due to defeating all his foes. Morgott, Mohg, and Godric the Grafted are all part of this lineage-the traditional descent, so to speak, is this one. The greatest of these was Godwyn, who is dead at the time of the game. Godfrey is eventually "tarnished", sent away to conquer other lands, because he's no longer needed. You are a tarnished like Godfrey-a naturally immortal warrior. The second was Radagon Via Rennala. Rennala was a legendary sorceress and master of Moon magic, and her academy was conquered peacefully by the vassals of the Greater Will when she married Radagon. Her children are Rykard, Radahn, and Ranni. We care most about Ranni. The third was Radagon and Marika; Radagon married Marika, and proceeded to become Elden Lord. His previous children were "adopted" into demigodhood. These include Miquella and Malenia, whom are cursed, but could have been the greatest of the lineages. Now, this seems straightforward, however there are cracks here. First off, Rennala was abandoned by Radagon and went a wee bit mad, hence why she's making "sweetlings" and trying to rebirth her children. Ranni hated this, and this is where her motivation to tear down the shackles of fate comes from. Second, Marika and Radagon *are the same fucking person* . I.E. Radagon is an alter ego of Marika, split from the original, to go wander the world as a man. Literally, Marika split her masculine half off to get laid because she didn't like her role in the order. Hence why Rennala's children are actually Demigods-and why the children of Radagon and Marika are all cursed but have been particularly holy, *both* their parents are *the same God* . So Ranni, learning that there are alternative forces to the Greater Will such as the Dark Moon, steals the cursemark of death from Marika's brother with Marika's help, and kills both her body and Godwyn's soul. Marika, because, during, and leading up to this, has given the fuck up on everything. Her children are cursed, evil, messed up and killing each other, so who can blame her. Also, she abandoned her lovely moon wife to fuck herself out of duty. *She* shatters the elden ring, and boom, bang, the world breaks. Radagon, her husband alter-ego, decides to keep the Elden ring intact. Yes, they are still the same person, think of it as a cry for help suicide attempt-it's irrational by design. This fucks up death, the world, and everyone. Undead are common, death doesen't quite work, and everyone loses their shit. The remaining demigods try to reunite the elden ring, but the effect of Malenia and Radahn fighting unleashes scarlet rot, and definitively ends any possibility of the demigods succeeding. Radahn in his madness locks away the stars, taking Ranni out of the fight and screwing her plans. Miquella, the last, best hope, is kidnapped and raped by his incestuous uncle Mohg before he can fix his sister. The world. Is. Fucked. Enter the tarnished. You're someone who is supposed to be immortal, one of Godfrey's ilk who was meant to be a warrior to go and conquer the world. You eventually find Ranni, who gives you your horse. You locate the body her puppet is possessing, and defeat Radahn. You give her a blade imbued with death, letting her kill the two fingers which was supposed to control a Shepard her. You defeat Blaidd, her consort who was there to kill her if she stepped out of line, and you marry Ranni. You are rejected by the Erdtree, but force your way in anyway. Finally, you defeat Marika and the Elden God at the heart of the Erdtree and stand posed to become Elden Lord, but you devote the victory to Ranni instead. She banishes her Father/Mother, and destroys the Erdtree completely. Souls now, instead of going to the Erdtree to be reborn, and sheparded into the vast unknown of the Moonlight, a new order different and unknown, terrifying and cold...But with a wife who cares for you, as her consort, to meet this future with you.
