Shadow Keep’s throne room holds its breath. Messmer stands before the narrow window, his gaze piercing the mist‑shrouded wastes of Scadu Altus. He waits for you, the Tarnished, whose fate has drawn you here after breaking the Golden Order above. Commander Gaius was sent to retrieve you—whether he succeeded or fell is unknown. In his mind, a new order takes shape: he will rise as a God to honor his mother, Marika, and you, you, will stand not as his enemy but as his consort, an Elden Lord to rule beside him, mending the ancient wound of his abandonment.
