Timeline of Lands Between history | Elden Ring Wiki

 Timeline of Lands Between history
 

This is a timeline of Lands Between history, comprising important conflicts and political events in the Lands Between. Although much of the order of historic events is up for debate, several key events are stated or heavily implied to happen before others. Thus, the endeavor of this document is to paint a picture of the most accurate chronological timeline based on in game descriptions & NPC dialog.

Please note that this page contains heavy spoilers, including end of game dialog.

Elden Ring Eras

♦  Age Before the Erdtree ♦

♦ Events that could have occured during, or before, Age of Erdtree ♦

Age of the Erdtree ♦ The Shattering ♦ Events taking place during the game ♦

♦ Events which cannot be reasonably placed in relation to others ♦

This is a dynamic list and the order of events within the sub eras will always be subject to debate. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources and reordering them where appropriate. The events are placed in descending order, beginning with the very oldest ones, but placement within the time frames is not certain by any means, so take them with a grain of salt and consider the order within eras a very rough estimate. Most events can be placed in one of the above eras due to reference of characters who must have been born by that point to take part, or by the fact that the Erdtree is not present at that time. If there is no reference, or no strong reference to a temporal anchor, the event should be placed in the final section.

A final note, some theorize that there is a circular and periodically looping nature to Elden Ring’s history. This page in no way attempts to prove or disprove that and hopefully the timeline presented here can somehow mesh with those theories. However, the goal of this page is draw out a linear timeline built on events which are stated to precede each other either through birth events, or the existence of the Erdtree, or destruction of the Elden Ring. 

Age Before the Erdtree

Event	Evidence
~ Time immemorial ~ The One Great	~ Time immemorial ~ The One Great     Hyetta... Frenzied Flame Proscription "The words of the Three Fingers. As your maiden, allow me to divine them. All that there is came from the One Great. Then came fractures, and births, and souls. But the Greater Will made a mistake. Torment, despair, affliction... every sin, every curse. Every one, born of the mistake. And so, what was borrowed must be returned." Hyetta Frenzied Flame Proscription Melina...Cathedral of the Forsaken "If you intend to claim the Frenzied Flame, I ask that you cease. It is not to be meddled with. It is chaos, devouring life and thought unending. However ruined this world has become, however mired in torment and despair, life endures. Births continue. There is beauty in that, is there not?" Melina, Cathedral of the Forsaken Law of Regression Incantation of the Golden Order fundamentalists One of the key fundamentals. The fundamentalists describe the Golden Order through the powers of regression and causality. Regression is the pull of meaning; that all things yearn eternally to converge. Law of Regression

~ Time immemorial ~ Crucible...writhes	~ Time immemorial ~ Crucible...writhes     Aspects of the Crucible: Horns One of the ancient Erdtree incantations. ... This is a manifestation of the Erdtree's primal vital energies - an aspect of the primordial crucible, where all life was once blended together. Aspects of the Crucible: Horns   Siluria's Tree The primordial form of the Erdtree is close in nature to life itself, and this spear, modeled on its crucible, is imbued with ancient holy essence   Siluria's Tree Gilded Greatshield Metal greatshield coated with gold. Carried by knights loyal to Godrick. The red tinge in the gold coat mirrors the primordial matter that became the Erdtree. The color of homeward yearning. Gilded Greatshield       Crucible Knot Talisman  ||  Crucible Scale Talisman  ||  Crucible Feather Talisman A vestige of the crucible of primordial life. Born partially of devolution, it was considered a signifier of the divine in ancient times, but is now increasingly disdained as an impurity as civilization has advanced.   Crucible Knot Talisman   Crucible Scale Talisman   Crucible Feather Talisman Winged Misbegotten Ashes The misbegotten are held to be a punishment for making contact with the Crucible, and from birth they are treated as slaves, or worse. Winged Misbegotten Ashes   Budding Horn A rarely-seen specimen of a young, budding horn. This horn began to sprout on a beast that typically bears no horn. Perhaps it's a vestige of the primordial crucible.     Budding Horn

~ Time immemorial ~   GreatTree ...begins to grow...	~ Time immemorial ~ GreatTree ...begins to grow...   Map (Deeproot Depths) Map of Deeproot Depths and environs. At the very depths of the Erdtree's majestic roots lies the source of the Ainsel and the Siofra rivers. Here too begins the network of Greattree roots that spread throughout the Lands Between. Map (Deeproot Depths) Root Resin Resin secreted from the roots of the Greattree. Can also be found near trees on the surface. The roots of the Greattree were once linked to those of the Erdtree, or so they say, and it is for this reason catacombs are built around Greattree roots. Root Resin Deathroot A source that gives rise to Those Who Live in Death. The beast clergyman, found at Bestial Sanctum in the distant east, collects and devours these roots. On the night of the dire plot the stolen Rune of Death enabled the first Death of a demigod. Later, the Rune of Death spread across the Lands Between through the underground roots of the Greattree, sprouting in the form of Deathroot. Deathroot 宮崎 英高, Miyazaki Hidetaka Edge Magazine, 2022 August 11 What can represent these rules and order but also not be absolute? And the tree really fits the bill nicely for that because the tree is something that's alive, it's something that grew, it's something that will eventually wither and die. And this really fits the role of something that can then bestow this order, control these rules, and enforce these rules on the world. Because these too are things that will grow and will change and will wither and die as well. So I feel that the tree this time is something that fits those elements both visually and thematically. But saying any more than that would definitely go into spoiler territory.     宮崎 英高 Miyazaki Hidetaka

Acadamy of Raya Lucaria hires   Mercenaries "to wage war as they pleased"   against The Carian Royal Family	Miriel Steward of the Church of Vows On Lady Rennala... Sadly, her heart was broken when Lord Radagon left her. And then, when the academy rebelled against the royals, she was locked away in the grand library. In the end, Lady Rennala was left alone, cradling the amber egg Lord Radagon bequeathed her. Now she devotes herself to it through forbidden rite; the grim art of reincarnation. You would do well to remember... Severing a vow, strongest of bonds, has consequences ever more dire Miriel Steward of the Church of Vows Scholar's Armament One of the glintstone sorceries of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. ... Taught to the Knights of the Cuckoo by the academy as payment for their contract. Scholar's Armament Raya Lucaria Soldier Ashes A trio of spirits, consisting of two disposable foot soldiers and their superior. The soldiers of Raya Lucaria were also known as the Cuckoos. They were given free rein by the academy to wage war as they pleased, and they were infamous for their rapacious ways.   Raya Lucaria Soldier Ashes Cuckoo Greatshield Metal Greatshield painted with a peering cuckoo. Carried by the enchanted knights sworn to the academy. Boasting high magic damage negation, this shield is used to hunt down mages. “Our enemy is none other than Caria itself.” Cuckoo Greatshield Cuckoo Knight Armor Armor worn by Raya Lucaria Academy knights. Its left breast is emblazoned with a peering cuckoo, whence came their name. Perhaps the bird's shrewd gaze is an expression of their refusal to be mere servants of the academy. Cuckoo Knight Armor Cuckoo Surcoat Armor worn by Raya Lucaria Academy soldiers. The surcoat depicts twinned cuckoos peering into a flourishing mass of glintstone. To a glintstone sorcerer, the body is a transient thing. The Cuckoo alone knows its insignificance, yet watches over it all the same. Cuckoo Surcoat Note: Brood parasitism is a strategy employed by some species of cuckoo birds. The cuckoo bird "deposits its egg into a host's nest, which then incubates and feeds the chick that hatches, even at the expense of its own offspring." Also called a " Cuckoo's Egg"

Brave Tarnished. A word of warning, if you please. This territory once belonged to the Carian royal family. Their manor lies not far beyond this point.

Radagon becomes King Consort and the second Elden Lord and Marika and Radagon have twins, Malenia and Miquella	Remembrance of the Rot Goddess: Miquella and Malenia are both the children of a single god. As such they are both Empyreans, but suffered afflictions from birth. One was cursed with eternal childhood, and the other harbored rot within.  Gowry's Dialog: Queen Marika and her King Consort Radagon were blessed with twin demigods, and Malenia was one of them. She was born an Empyrean, carrying the scarlet rot. An Empyrean...is no mere demigod. In the age of the Elden Ring, and Queen Marika, the precious Empyrean was born. A new god to forge a new Order. Since Malenia fought Radahn, and the great scarlet flower blossomed in Aeonia, I have dedicated myself to her. And to the resplendence of the Order of Rot. The cycle of decay and rebirth.
Miquella grows the Haligtree, but it ultimately fails to grow into an Erdtree	Haligtree Crest Surcoat: The surcoat bears the crest of the Haligtree. Though watered with Miquella's own blood since it was a sapling, the Haligtree ultimately failed to grow into an Erdtree.  Haligtree Crest Greatshield: Metal greatshield depicting the Haligtree with unalloyed gold. Carried by knights who have vowed to serve Miquella's Haligtree. Possesses high holy damage negation. Yet now, with the Haligtree misshapen, this wondrous rendition is a fleeting fantasy. Royal Knight  Helm: Silver helm of Loretta, a Knight who served Miquella's Haligtree. Loretta, once a royal Carian Knight, went on a journey in search of a haven for Albinaurics, and determined that the Haligtree was their best chance for eventual salvation.
Night of Black Knives	Sorcerer Rogier's Dialog: The misshapen corpse under Stormveil? That is a sacred relic. Of the black knives plot. As that famed night of assassination is known. It happened during the Golden Age of the Erdtree, long before the shattering of the Elden Ring. Someone stole a fragment of the Rune of Death from Maliketh, the Black Blade. And on a bitter night, murdered Godwyn the Golden. That was the first recorded Death of a demigod in all history. And it became the catalyst. Soon, the Elden Ring was smashed, and thus sprang forth the war known as the Shattering. I once wished to become a scholar, you see. I've spent many an hour scouring the archives for knowledge of that fateful plot. Ranni's Dialog: Let us speak of the past, a while. I was once an Empyrean. Of the demigods, only I, Miquella, and Malenia could claim that title. Each of us was chosen by our own Two Fingers, as a candidate to succeed Queen Marika, to become the new god of the coming age. Which is when I received Blaidd. In the form of a vassal tailored for an Empyrean. But I would not acquiesce to the Two Fingers. I stole the Rune of Death, slew mine own Empyrean flesh, casting it away. I would not be controlled by that thing. The Two Fingers and I have been cursing each other ever since... And the Baleful Shadows... are their assassins.
The Shattering of the Elden Ring	Marika's Hammer: Stone hammer made in the lands of the Numen, outside the Lands Between. The tool with which Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring and Radagon attempted to repair it. The hammer partially broke upon shattering the Ring, becoming splintered with rune fragments. Enia's dialog: Queen Marika is the vessel of the Elden Ring, carrier of its vision. A god, in truth. But after the Elden Ring's shattering, she was imprisoned in the Erdtree. A grim punishment for shattering the Order, despite her godhood.
