Shadow of The Erdtree | Story & Ending Explained [Lore]

Shadow of The Erdtree had a compelling narrative that adds so much to the lore and world of Elden Ring. However it is a winding tale with many intersecting stories that need to be dissected: The Hornsent, Marika, Miquella, Mohg, The Shamans, Messmer, Radahn and much more. In this Lore Video we attempt to explain the story and ending of the DLC in as much detail as possible.
