On a winter night, a traveler from the Lands Between paid a visit to a certain workshop located far beyond the fog. There was a story she wished to hear from the Storyteller.

A story about Tarnished traveling the Lands Between.

In lowly undying hands of no renown, he pledged oath and blade. A promise to the moon and its vassals in the unknown dark, the knight fought blade and fang as the Lunar Princess' champion. In vile lakes of blood and hidden star-adorned skies, the Tarnished slayed and fell all in his path to manifest the age of stars his lady had desperately wished for.

A new age is coming. One not of order lustrous and gold, but of reunification and reforging the bonds of old. And it all started on the day an Empyrean met her Lord...

Maiden this, maiden that, how about maiden deez nuts huh! Enough quest and running around, enough with the chores, enough with the Elden Ring and stupid gods- with chances renewed in Lands Between, being an Elden Lord can wait, how about causing chaos with the boys? Now, that's fun! And we'll do it TOGETHHHHHHAA! Suck it Marika!

A Tarnished of no renown has done the impossible: burned through the impenetrable thorns, and become Elden Lord. However, having a title and power means little unless one uses it. With Queen Marika the Eternal returned, and the Rune of Perfect Order used to mend to Elden Ring, it is time to bring Order back to the Lands Between.

Aerfen has lost count of how many times she has done this song and dance. Inevitably, she's sent back to the Chapel of Antincipation some time after the Elden Ring is mended, no matter if she's the Elden Lord or not. An eternal struggle that she can't seem to escape from. Yet this time... this time was different. Everything was the same, and yet everything had changed.

This is a short story based on Fromsoftware's Elden Ring. This story takes both known and accepted lore into account, as well as my own interpretations of certain lore tidbits left in game.

Snippets of the meetings between the Would Be Tarnished, Vaughn and Lunar Princes Ranni before the Shattering.

You aren't sure where you are or even who you are but you do know one thing. The place you've found yourself is dangerous and full of oddities. Luckily you seem to be some type of immortal though you aren't entirely sure that's a good thing. Well, no use crying over spilled milk as they say.

Mohg got his wings dirty and commands Varre to help him preen them.

Starscourge Radahn wakes up in the Chapel of Anticipation instead of the Tarnished. What's a man to do but try and find his horse?

The Elden Throne stands unclaimed amid the Moon's chill night, marking the end of the Golden Order. But before the burning of the Erdtree, the fell of Queen Marika, and the thwarting of the Greater Will; there was a Tarnished, a Witch, and a myriad others. A series of moments of a time before the advent of the Age of Stars.

I promise this is not me being salty at not having beat Malenia yet.

When Ranni is stuck in her miniature form she considers herself lucky to be picked up by the Tarnished. However, little did she know just how annoying said Tarnished actually is. Rated mostly M for crude language.

Story is about my OC getting isekai into the world of Elden Ring. From his perspective we will experience a more in-depth interaction with NPCs and how he will survive on his journey to reach home.

A Tarnished who has done this whole song and dance a million times before and has reached max level in every skill, starts up one last run. Why? To finally give every last one of his waifus the happy endings they deserve, of course. Told from the perspective of said waifus, as they all try to desperately get a handle on the Tarnished and his antics. WARNING: Mature Themes Abound!

The memoirs of a man who survived the world's destruction by Frenzied Flame. A record of how he built a kingdom upon the ash and fought the soulless Lord within the Flame.

She knew not why exactly she came. But using the Blood Knight Medallion, she requested an audience. Thus she ascended the Mausoleum. For answers, for something, anything, a proof that her actions meant something, that she swore herself to a Suzerain worth fighting for. Struck with a revelation at the top of the Mausoleum, perhaps she finally will receive this gift.

Sellen's favorite apprentice has seen fit to discuss the merits of the many kinds of sorcery with her. And of course, get to speak with their valued teacher a little more.

A story of moments along the Tarnished's journey to claim the Elden Ring.

The Greater Will has brought forth a Tarnished from Earth. A man simply trying to make something of himself and failing. A man fated to fail in the race to become Elden Lord. Nathaniel was a weak man. But to return home it is necessary that he must embark on the road where he is destined to die. Although, he does have a maiden that will make his burden easier to carry.

"Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god." Melina's waking.

In the foggy lake of Lliurna, an Albinauric's unexpected discovery of boiled prawn sends him on a journey across the Lands Between to claim the delicacy for himself and his dwindling group.

Millicent lies dying in the brace of the Haligtree. Slowly being eaten away by the Scarlet Rot after giving the needle of unalloyed gold to the Tarnished. But it seems her destiny has refused to claim her yet (Note that this was originally written as a one-shot and I probably won't continue anytime soon if at all. Deep apologies for that if you were confused.)
