Sinopsis
La narradora junta sus finas manos y habla. "Sucedió tiempo atrás. Pero cuando lo recuerdo, lo veo con certeza". Así comienza la historia de La Quiebra, una guerra devastadora entre los hijos de Márika, Semidioses de las Tierras Intermedias. Una sombría noche en las profundidades del invierno, una bandada de asesinos desconocidos cruzó las Tierras Intermedias.
En un ataque coetáneo, este vil pacto acabó con las vidas de muchos de los parientes de la Diosa-Reina en todo el imperio, demasiado numerosos y demasiado dispersos para que su protección divina los salvara. Los objetivos de los asesinos eran múltiples, pero ninguno fue una pérdida tan devastadora para la Reina Eterna como la de Godwyn el Dorado. Después de su muerte, el Elden Ring se hizo añicos, y el orden del mundo se rompió con él.
De este caos surgió la guerra. Guerra abierta y amarga, que enfrenta sangre contra sangre y parientes contra parientes. El conflicto rompió un vasto y próspero imperio en frágiles fragmentos. Ningún bando por sí solo pudo encontrar suficiente apoyo para mantener una victoria decisiva, incluso cuando estaba impulsado por el poder de una Gran Runa.
La batalla del general Radahn contra Malenia la Cercenada ilustró que ni la fuerza ni la habilidad por sí solas serían suficientes para tomar el control de la totalidad de las tierras que Márika había unido. Y así, las Tierras Intermedias ya no están atrapadas en una guerra abierta, sino atrapadas en un incómodo punto muerto que parece imposible de resolver. “A menos, por supuesto”, dice la narradora, con una sonrisa tímida en ambos labios, “¿tomará usted la corona?”.
Transportado a épocas lejanas, revivirás la Quiebra, una guerra que llevó la oscuridad a las Tierras Intermedias, iniciada por el ansia de poder de los semidioses. Lucharás junto al general Radahn y Malenia la Cercenada, pero ni siquiera estos dos guerreros invencibles pudieron reunir un mundo tan destrozado. Solo queda una esperanza: la esperanza de que un nuevo Elden Lord se levante y levante el velo de sombras que ha caído sobre los dominios de Márika.
La espera casi ha terminado. Pronto te aventurarás en las Tierras Intermedias y lucharás por convertirte en su Elden Lord. Prepárate, Sinluz, y prepárate para reclamar lo que el destino te ha prometido.
Transcripción del tráiler narrativo
It happened an age ago.
But when I recall, I see it true.
On a night of wint'ry fog.
The rune of death was stolen
And the demigods began to fall, starting with Godwyn the Golden.
Queen Marika was driven to the brink.
The Shattering ensued; a war that wrought only darkness.
The Elden Ring was broken, but by whom? And why?
What could the Demigods ever hope to win by warring?
The conqueror of the stars, General Radahn.
And the Blade of Miquella, Malenia the Severed.
These two were the mightiest to remain, and locked horns in combat.
But there would be no victor.
And so, we inhabit a fractured world.
Awaiting the arrival of the Elden Lord.
Unless of course, thou shouldst take the crown?
Transcripción del tráiler de gameplay
The Tarnished will soon return.
Guided by Grace once lost.
The Golden Order is broken to its core.
Foul Tarnished... in search of the Elden Ring.
Emboldened by the flame of ambition.
Someone must extinguish thy flame.
They will fight. And they will die. In an unending curse
For how else is a Champion, or a Lord, to be born?
... Well. A lowly Tarnished, playing as a Lord.
I command thee, knee!
Brandish the Elden Ring ... for all of us.
Prólogo
The Golden Order has been broken.
Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between.
In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered.
Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will.
And now the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring.
And become the Elden Lord.
Prólogo alternativo
Tarnished of the Lands Between
The Golden Order has been shattered. Throughout the Lands Between, Demigods holding shards of the Elden Ring squabble and make war over the ruins of a perfect realm, now abandoned by the golden guidance of the Greater Will.
As the echoes of this coTnflict[SIC] thunder in the distance, an outcast arrives. Once, their ancestors called the Lands Between home, but the blessed light of grace was lost to their tribe long ago and they were expelled from the kingdom. They are the Tarnished, and they have returned to claim the Elden Lordship promised to them by legend.
This is the world of ELDEN RING. As a Tarnished, the Lands Between await your exploration. You will ride through the vast fields, gallop over rolling hills, and leap to the top of rocky crags on your ephemeral steed, revealing a world teeming with life and danger.
In the grand fields where your journey begins, mythic creatures prowl the veldts, ineffable horrors lurk in the bogs and marshes, and all manner of soldiers and itinerant warriors are waiting for those who wander unawares. Shy creatures nibble on sweet grasses or scuttle through the underbrush.
Those few inhabitants who are not mad or hostile linger near the broken remnants of cities left behind by the Shattering. They may have answers for you, if you help them. Above them all, ensconced in vast legacies bristling with traps, secrets, and guardians, the Demigods – warped Lords who began as members of a royal and noble family – rule their domains with the unyielding power granted by shards of the Elden Ring.
Prólogo extendido
The guidance of lost graces – should you find them - will put you on a road to re-take these lands from the Demigods through might and magic, but you need not follow their path.
The choice is yours. Do you crave power, or do you seek understanding? Decide for yourself, then build your character as you see fit.
Try dozens of skills and find one to best suit your style. Practice stealth to avoid danger or catch enemies unaware. Use the environment, the weather, and the time of day to gain an advantage. Learn the art of combat , where you must read your enemy’s intentions and a well-timed dodge or parry could be the difference between life and death. Ride your steed into battle against mounted mercenaries and cut them from their horses. Master arcane spells from the masters that still linger among the ruins of the war. Summon familiar spirits to even the odds against you or call on your fellow Tarnished to fight at your side and share the burden as you explore. Or, delve into the complex, bloody history of the Shattering and discover the lost secrets of the Demigods and their kin. All these paths are possible, and more. Ultimately, your journey will be defined by the strength of your own ambition. The greater your goals, the greater the challenge will be. Should you choose to claim the Lands Between as your birthright then yes, you must fight.
And yes, you may die.
But you will return to fight again.
For that is how a champion – or a Lord – is born.
