Elden Ring Lore - Azur, Lusat & The Founding of Raya Lucaria 

I think it’s on purpose the developers want to leave a open theory so the DLC may have some answers let’s hope !

Fromsoft's and Miyazaki's story telling prowess is vastly underrated by people who aren't Soulsborne fans

Thank you! If fromsoft ever gave us a shout out I'd lose my mind.

@@square-table-gaming hahahaha well they should!

I make 1 video a week! Unless I've put together a compilation or a Lies of P Lore vid

The only issue with this theory is that if we follow Sellens quest line, she uses the bodies of Azur & Lusat to create her graven mass, so unless they preserved their primordial glintstone somewhere, they are most likely dead after having their bodies used in Sellens experiment. She seems to be the only consciousness in her graven mass.

@square-table-gaming while I agree with the fact that they are more than likely dead when made into a graven soul mass (still entirely possible that they are alive as they did not speak before so could just be silent tortured victims in the mass) it was never selen that made them into the soul mass, the way it happens in game does not say who or what made them into a soul mass but given rannis defense and reactive tendencies to defend her mother and her desire to let her mother remain in blissful ignorance as well as the fact that selen says she got rid of renalla but we still see her in the background heavily implies these were all rannis doing. She likely used an illusion or a confusion spell that his recalls continued presence from selen then when she was preoccupied or otherwise unable ranni was likely the one that then used the opportunity to turn her and her teachers into a graven soul mass. Selen showed nothing but continued respect for azure and lusat and nothing about her actions including her restoring them to their positions in the academy would imply that she would do such a thing to them and indeed implies that she was definitely not the one who turned them into a graven mass. While it's possible that ranni did not do all this it is heavily implied in my opinion that she did as revenge for Selena attempt to remove her mother from her peaceful resting.

Thank you!

Thank you! I wish I could have tracked down the person who originally identified it so I could credit them.

Thank you!!

Yes she captivated them with her "full moon" LMFAO

I can understand why Radagon called a truce.

Be wary of rump

Thank you so much!!

Dude me too 🤣🤣

1 year 10 months!

also after this i want to come in your discord, i know a lot of things about elden ring and i have also many question and I would love to share them

Feel free to jump in. I use info directly from the game and if I'm discussing a theory that's popular in the community I flag that before stating it. I don't think there's anything wrong with citing things talked about in interviews or translation errors that have been found, it's all worth noting to try and untangle the web that is this games lore.
