Marika's STRANGE new connections to the Gloam-Eyed Queen - Elden Ring SOTE Lore Theory & Speculation

The Gloam-Eyed Queen is easily one of the most influential and important characters in all of Elden Ring’s lore but also one of the most elusive. An Empyrean capable of becoming a god, the same title given to Ranni, Miquella, Malenia and Marika. How could such a massive force simply fade into oblivion? Well, maybe she didn’t. In fact, maybe she became an even more influential monarch by shedding death in favor of eternal life.

You see where I’m going with this?

I think that Marika the Eternal and the Gloam-Eyed Queen were once one...
And I’ve compiled quite a bit of evidence to prove it.

I welcome you Tarnished, to join me, Zayf the Scholar, as I try to piece together the puzzle of the Gloam-Eyed Queen’s disappearance and her connection to the Shaman and Marika. Was Maliketh tied to the seduction and betrayal of the hornsent that birthed the grace of gold? Was Radagon the only aspect of Marika to be separated?

Could the Godskin Apostles help to explain Messmer and Melina's visions of fire (and the former's ties to serpents)?

The answers lie in a strange ancient cult not far from Leyndell and the Erdtree: Dominula, Windmill Village. Evidence suggests this creepy locale we all know and love is tied to Shaman Village.

Buckle up and grab your tinfoil hats, my insanity might be a bit contagious.
