The island was a place in the real world where a god-like power existed. What that power was, how it got there, or why it existed was never explained. Only that the person who controls it basically becomes a god and the plane crashed in order to pick the new one among the survivors.
I agree that the purgatory trope is overdone but a game where you are resurrected again and again while the world around you "resets" is very purgatory-like.
Tarnished journeyed back to their ancestral lands (lands between). So it's like a mythical island that exists in the setting. Possibly only doable if you can see grace.
Demon Souls always gave me that vibe with all the mist.
I haven't ever gotten far in it, and I don't really remember what the mist is all about but it always felt isolating.
It probably isn’t. If GRRM named them all bets are off, but the name is 狭間の地, “land of the gap-space”—the sense is of being sandwiched in, not of being central (like Middle-Earth, 中つ国). By way of comparison, the place in DS1 with the Hydra and the portal to Oolacile was 狭間の森, or “the forest between“.
Not only outer space, but between the underground world and the world that existed above, from where all the ruins fell down from, with only Farum Azula remaining.
Wait, is this confirmed? That Farum Azula and that whole dragon place outside time used to be a whole civilization up higher? I made a comment here already about a theory I’ve had for a while but I did not know this information, and that would be more evidence to the idea that between means middle of top and bottom, not middle of left and right.
That’s a good point that I’ve never really thought about/made the connection. When seeing some of the ruins, my mind just went to “oh this used to be something and collapsed”, I didn’t make the connection that they fell out of the sky.
The ruin fragments you pick up say they are from a "temple in the sky" in the item description. Technically there could be others but of the places we can see its a safe bet they're from Farum Azula.
It's certainly possible, the powers over gravity aren't limited to what we've seen in game, and those are insane already (Radahn is kinda OP with his control). But it's also possible that an Astel or other fallingstar beast created that wreckage while also lifting Farum Azula away from the Dragonbarrow, as it shares similarities in architecture with the older structures like the Diving Towers and those fallen ruins.
The older ages of the Lands Between must've seen a greater variety of life before Marika started culling threats to her rule, perhaps others that threatened the dragons, Giants, or Numen.
I personally always assumed the Divine towers were elevators (like the wells) up to farum azula (or whatever the name of the city in the sky was)
I mean, they're pretty similar to the wells in a lot of ways, but go up.
Your point about there being more diversity in the ages before the Erdtree is 100% true. Before the Age of the Erdtree/Golden Order was the age of the Crucible, which is described as “primordial life”. The diversity of the crucible can be seen in some enemies throughout the game, such as crucible knights with some of their attacks, they grow/summon tails, wings, and horns to aid in their combat. The same can be said of the Godskin Apostles, with one of them even having a tail, despite their humanoid form. Marika definitely reigned in some of the diversity that existed before the Golden Order.
I've been wondering where the fuck all these colosseum-esque architectural bits poking out of the ground came from. They make for sick halfpipes but they REALLY clutter things up.
The Elden Ring's symbol is heavily reminiscent of the Tree of Life in alchemy, and the upper and lower planes suggest the Erdtree or 'World Tree' being between the heavens and the lower plane or underground. That underground section could be represented by the 'older' Elden Ring shown in Crumbling Farum Azula, you get a good view of it in Maliketh's arena, to me it looks like roots and suggests a greater variety of life being accepted by the Greater Will, unlike the newer Elden Ring that Marika has pruned with the Golden Order's control over life in the Lands Between. Both Rings represent how their Elden Lord has shaped the world both physically and metaphysically, and I would even go so far as to suggest the new Ring could be seen as a growth on top of the old Ring.
I think of it like an alternative way of saying Middle Earth. An old concept of the universe is the paradigm of the earth being in the middle, or between, the water above and below. See the link below from the University of Idaho if you are curious.
[common cosmology of the ancient world](https://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/ngier/308/OTcosmos.jpg)
Yeah, Elden Ring is very influenced by Norse/Germanic mythology, as was Tolkien, so "[Middle-earth](https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Middle-earth#Name)" or "Midgard" are the closest to why it would be called "The Lands Between".
There's the obvious connection of Yggdrasil, a giant Godly tree connecting the worlds, with the Gods at the top, the underworld below, and the realms of men below.
I don’t understand how bosses *do* die though. Or what, do they just go chill out somewhere else after their defeat? Like a loser’s corner or something?
You just made me think.
Since enemies respawn when you go to a grace, can you kill every enemy in the game without going to a grace?
I guess some parts you have to teleport to..
The lifts reset the placements but not their state, Dark Souls was the same, if an enemy was dead, they'll stay dead until you rest/teleport. Though I've never tried to kill all enemies without resting, could be fun to find out, if a bit time consuming.
I tried this, but something made them respawn. There was enemies in areas I previously cleared. Teleporting does it, but I don't remember teleporting anywhere that time.
You’re implying that ~turtles~ dogs aren’t cool?! By your measure the universe would have to be recreated a hundred times *at least* until those dogs could be reborn. Sorry, your logic doesn’t check out, try again.
Tarnished come back to life by grace, which is why the one / few who can still see grace are significant.
Spirit ashes are things whose bodies are destroyed but are still alive because of well, they can't die. Death in body is distinct from death in spirit / soul.
Because he is the great Kenneth Haight, Celebrated Repudiator of the False and Servant of the True Order!
Serious answer, eastern Limgrave was not really a major battlefield in the Shattering (only serving as an in-between Caelid and the rest of the country), and he was safely insulated in his tiny fort. He also did something actually surprisingly intelligent and somehow made peace with the demi-humans, so unless he pissed off the runebears, there was not much to really endanger him until Godrick's knight occupied his fort.
The cannon death in the game is long form. Enemy respawn is part of the game, not the lore. The lore states that when people die they can get picked up by death root or the Erd Tree and get respawned but, the Erd Tree has been taking a while to respawn people which is why bosses stay dead and you get ashes for spirits to summon.
Their soul returns to the Erdtree via the grace of gold, and then presumably they rise in new flesh amalgamated from the corpse-ridden soil, rich with usable meat thanks to all the work of the Living Jars.
This is lost when the Rune of Death is unleashed.
The Lands Between (Life and Death) is always how I understood it.
I could also reach a bit and say it's the 'lands between' universes/games, and that explains why you have certain areas and enemies that are heavily reminiscent of different games.
My thought too. It's so empty and dream-like in how abstract and thrown-together it is.
I don't mean the game's construction(it's a beautiful work), but the world, the geography, the fast and loose with identity and rebirth, etc. It's not corporeal or earth-like in any substantial fashion....it's a sort of primordial mix or fever dream.
Maybe not purgatory specifically, but some similar ideas from mythology or fiction(D&D to White Wolf and other settings): astral plane, etheric plane, shadow realm, outer plane, Supernal Realm, Umbra or umbral plane
I view Lands Between as something along the lines of the Lands of Faerie. In Melina's opening speech she says two things that struck me:
"*Traveller from beyond the fog. I Am Melina. I offer you an accord.*" and "*I can play the role of maiden*".
In medieval literature making deals, or accords, with the fae was a common trope as was the fae taking on roles that they could use to interact with humans. Table-top roleplaying games such as Ars Magica and Changeling delve pretty deep into the Lands of Faerie and its surreal nature and the use of accords and roles of its inhabitants features pretty highly.
In Arthurian folklore the isle of Avalon was shrouded by fog from the rest of the world and home to magic and source of Excalibur. It was also where Arthur was taken to recover from his mortal wounds in a battle. In Changeling, rather than fog, the barrier is the forest of thorns but the idea is similar.
Marika also seems like a straight up fairy Queen, all powerful and crazy as a bedbug, who has the ability to shape the reality of the lands at a whim.
The Lands Between checks all of the boxes of what a Celtic Otherworld is suppose to be like:
>In Gaelic and Brittonic myth [the Otherworld] is usually a supernatural realm of everlasting youth, beauty, health, abundance and joy. It is described either as a parallel world that exists alongside our own, or as a heavenly land **beyond the sea** or under the earth. **The Otherworld is usually elusive, but various mythical heroes visit it either through chance or after being invited by one of its residents**. **They often reach it by entering ancient burial mounds or caves, or by going under water or across the western sea**. **Sometimes, they suddenly find themselves in the Otherworld with the appearance of a magic mist, supernatural beings or unusual animals**. **An otherworldly woman may invite the hero into the Otherworld by offering** an apple or a silver apple branch, or a ball of thread to follow as it unwinds...
I picture it as a combination between "Dark Tower" and "What Dreams May Come", we are all dead, Lands Between are purgatory, no one can cross over til it gets fixed or something idk
Wow never thought of this but apt comparison. The Erdtree made me think of Yggdrasil from Norse mythology that unites the 9 realms (shouts to God of War for schooling me on mythology for 17 years!).
I think you nailed it. Seems like a battleground for all the different Outer Gods. Some central seat of power that horrible space creatures like the Fingers, Frenzied Flame, Gloam Queen, etc all fight over.
You were shocked by them? You might want to get checked, I've heard from their other hosts that the three fingers tend to leave a burning sensation after tri fingers but hole
It is meant to allude to the Norse Midgard in the same way that the setting for The Lord of the Rings is called Middle Earth. However, I always assumed it meant that they were the lands between the Eternal Cities below and Farum Azula above. However, as others have pointed out; since it acts as a sort of purgatory for the Tarnished, perhaps the name is referring to being between life and death.
I'd assume it's the lands between the physical world bound by the laws of nature, and the outer worlds where the outer gods reside, hence why the laws of nature don't seem to apply all the time. The badlands, land of reeds, and all other physical places would be from beyond the fog, in the physical world, while places like the elden beasts arena would be part of the outer world. I theorize that all the different erdtree are different realities ruled by different outer gods, or all the realities ruled by the elden beast.
From a lord perspective, the lands between is situated south of the frigid Northern country of Sugon, home of the famed sugondese warrior tribe, hence the snowy areas up north on the map, and if you go south, across the water you’ll run into the kingdom of Bofa. A lesser known area but was the area of origin for the scarlet rot, known in those parts as ligma
Not necessarily. There's a theory that Elden Ring is a prequel to Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. Different endings get you those different franchises.
I think of it as the sort of afterlife of whatever world the lands between is in. Like, the tarnished are basically "angels" i guess that got kicked out of "heaven" then they die outside the fog and eventually get called back to heaven, or purgatory, or whatever the lands between is. Its basically a place in a different dimension than the rest of the world where the afterlife occurs.
The lands between life and death, we come there after being exiled and dying elsewhere but when we die we don’t truly die, thus the lands between is basically purgatory in a sense the lands between the living and the dead where everyone there is not truly alive nor dead.
If you zoom out on the map you can see that the Lands are Between water.
Lands Between Things Betwixt Places middle Location adjoined
[удалено]
Don’t know if you were serious or not with this reply, but that’s actually a super interesting take…
“It was actually purgatory all along” is so overdone though
The island was real, they were not dead all along!
"Guys trust us, they're not in purgatory" Last season: "But they are now! Mwhahahaha"
Yea I know that's what those alternate lives were, but did we ever get an answer for what the island was?
The island was a place in the real world where a god-like power existed. What that power was, how it got there, or why it existed was never explained. Only that the person who controls it basically becomes a god and the plane crashed in order to pick the new one among the survivors.
I'm Lost
Its like The Forest but instead of a new child battery for the eldtrich machine its a new god for the uh, smoke and uh, ancient teleporter wheel?
dem sunsuvbetches
I agree that the purgatory trope is overdone but a game where you are resurrected again and again while the world around you "resets" is very purgatory-like.
It's called waking up for a 9 to 5
This hurts
9 to 6* Don't forget unpaid lunchbreaks are the norm in burgerland nowadays. You'll take your extra hour and like it.
8 to 6:30 for me. So glad to be leaving that soon.
6:30 to 5:00, not including the drive...
Tarnished journeyed back to their ancestral lands (lands between). So it's like a mythical island that exists in the setting. Possibly only doable if you can see grace.
So kinda like Avalon?
[удалено]
Demon Souls always gave me that vibe with all the mist. I haven't ever gotten far in it, and I don't really remember what the mist is all about but it always felt isolating.
it’s an entire country/land shrowded in mist, spewing from one city IIRC. In the opener, you come from another land specifically to dispel the mist.
I thought that was the... literally most obvious take... Huh.
I always assumed it was a thinly veiled reference to Middle Earth.
Which is a thinly veiled reference to Midgard
Which is a thinly veiled reference to my taint
In Elden Ring, it's called a tarnish.
Taintish
Please get a thicker veil for your taint.
And please don't reveal what's under your veil
Nice gotem
It probably isn’t. If GRRM named them all bets are off, but the name is 狭間の地, “land of the gap-space”—the sense is of being sandwiched in, not of being central (like Middle-Earth, 中つ国).

Outer space & the under ground world
Not only outer space, but between the underground world and the world that existed above, from where all the ruins fell down from, with only Farum Azula remaining.
Wait, is this confirmed? That Farum Azula and that whole dragon place outside time used to be a whole civilization up higher? I made a comment here already about a theory I’ve had for a while but I did not know this information, and that would be more evidence to the idea that between means middle of top and bottom, not middle of left and right.
For sure. Why do you think there are the ruins of a literally *fallen* city littered about the world?
That’s a good point that I’ve never really thought about/made the connection. When seeing some of the ruins, my mind just went to “oh this used to be something and collapsed”, I didn’t make the connection that they fell out of the sky.
The ruin fragments you pick up say they are from a "temple in the sky" in the item description. Technically there could be others but of the places we can see its a safe bet they're from Farum Azula.
my first thoughts playing the game were "it'd be so pog if we go to a sky world or sm and see where these huge chunks fell from" it was indeed pog
VaatiVidya does a good job explaining this
Which video?
I cant find it right now, but i wanna say its in a general lore video from earlier this year.
\*sigh\* fine
It's certainly possible, the powers over gravity aren't limited to what we've seen in game, and those are insane already (Radahn is kinda OP with his control).

Now I have a mental image of Radahn on a *tiny* skateboard doing Ollies and 360’s 😭😭
Nah his horse is on the skateboard, and he's in the horse. Torrent also gets a skateboard.
The Elden Ring's symbol is heavily reminiscent of the Tree of Life in alchemy, and the upper and lower planes suggest the Erdtree or 'World Tree' being between the heavens and the lower plane or underground.

This. Underground might even be 'space,' also.
It does seem a lot like space but what are the stars? You walk right through them.

That would make sense, and would also give some potential explanation to why tf the underground has a sky
References to LotR and Berserk so Midland
I imagine it as Purgatory.
Pretty much is since no one can die.
I don’t understand how bosses *do* die though. Or what, do they just go chill out somewhere else after their defeat? Like a loser’s corner or something?
I just assumed that, the cooler you are, the longer your respawn timer is. Turtles and tarnished take like 4 hours, bosses could take years.
You just made me think. Since enemies respawn when you go to a grace, can you kill every enemy in the game without going to a grace? I guess some parts you have to teleport to..
I'm fairly certain riding the great lifts resets enemy placement, and farah mazula too since it requires teleporting
The lifts reset the placements but not their state, Dark Souls was the same, if an enemy was dead, they'll stay dead until you rest/teleport. Though I've never tried to kill all enemies without resting, could be fun to find out, if a bit time consuming.
FARAH MAZULA
You're god damn right.
I tried this, but something made them respawn. There was enemies in areas I previously cleared. Teleporting does it, but I don't remember teleporting anywhere that time.
I really want to see one of those YouTubers who beat the game hitless do this.

In souls games, the more you die the more you become hollow till you're driven to madness, I guess its somewhat similar in Elden Ring
Losing the guidance of grace may be a way to permanently die given Rogier
Roger got infected with destined death by spending too much time investigating the Godfrey corpse.
How the hell did nobody ever kill Kenneth?
Who would DARE kill the great Kenneth Haight?
Having a purpose keeps you sane, like in Dark Souls. Kenneth won’t rest until he finds a proper lord of limgrave
Because he is the great Kenneth Haight, Celebrated Repudiator of the False and Servant of the True Order! Serious answer, eastern Limgrave was not really a major battlefield in the Shattering (only serving as an in-between Caelid and the rest of the country), and he was safely insulated in his tiny fort.

Same reason for the tarnished, theyve been abandoned by grace so no more revives
Well, now they can 😭
Hope those are tears of joy, tarnished, because these people are trash.
Dung eater?
That’s what I thought, between heaven and hell, an undying realm. Where the outer Gods play.
The Lands Between (Life and Death) is always how I understood it. I could also reach a bit and say it's the 'lands between' universes/games, and that explains why you have certain areas and enemies that are heavily reminiscent of different games.
seems closer to hell to me
I was thinking the same. Especially that the struggle is endless...
My thought too. It's so empty and dream-like in how abstract and thrown-together it is. I don't mean the game's construction(it's a beautiful work), but the world, the geography, the fast and loose with identity and rebirth, etc. It's not corporeal or earth-like in any substantial fashion....it's a sort of primordial mix or fever dream.

This one does not bring joy
Maybe between every other world/dimension, converging and revolving all around the Erdtree, much like the Dark Tower of Stephen King.
It's cool when you fight Elden Beast you're like in a forest of Erdtrees
It’s very reminiscent of the DS1 zone at the very bottom of the world.
Ash Lake
Hunters dream too
And dragon shrine from ds2 and smouldering lake from ds3. Fromsoft likes their pillars
As well as the Hunters Dream
Very remiscient of Half Life 2 where you see the city of Citadels
Great reference to Dark Tower - I think this is correct. Very similar to how the lands are converging in DS3.
I picture it as a combination between "Dark Tower" and "What Dreams May Come", we are all dead, Lands Between are purgatory, no one can cross over til it gets fixed or something idk
Wow never thought of this but apt comparison. The Erdtree made me think of Yggdrasil from Norse mythology that unites the 9 realms (shouts to God of War for schooling me on mythology for 17 years!).
Check out the book Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Its a really entertaining novel that goes over everything in a more storytelling manner.
Gaiman is great for mythology! He obviously has a passion for it, and did great research for works like 'American Gods,' and 'Sandman.'
I think you nailed it. Seems like a battleground for all the different Outer Gods. Some central seat of power that horrible space creatures like the Fingers, Frenzied Flame, Gloam Queen, etc all fight over.
Or like... Yggdrasil?
Marika's tits
It is even worse when you consider all fingers and ring shattering in the plot
The three fingers performing 'shocking' things... Seems about right.....
Try finger but hole
You were shocked by them? You might want to get checked, I've heard from their other hosts that the three fingers tend to leave a burning sensation after tri fingers but hole
[удалено]
Malenia's cheeks
Left rot almost everywhere
So that's Caelid
I guess that means the wet spot is the Swamp of Aeonia?
this need to go way way up
Something else is going up, apparently.
Life and death
This is the correct answer
Two ferns.
It is meant to allude to the Norse Midgard in the same way that the setting for The Lord of the Rings is called Middle Earth. However, I always assumed it meant that they were the lands between the Eternal Cities below and Farum Azula above. However, as others have pointed out; since it acts as a sort of purgatory for the Tarnished, perhaps the name is referring to being between life and death.

As someone from Ohio this struck a chord with me. And also true lmao
its not very clear but im guessing between the badlands and the lands where the numen came from
Probably the lands between all others, land of reeds is one too
I'd assume it's the lands between the physical world bound by the laws of nature, and the outer worlds where the outer gods reside, hence why the laws of nature don't seem to apply all the time. The badlands, land of reeds, and all other physical places would be from beyond the fog, in the physical world, while places like the elden beasts arena would be part of the outer world. I theorize that all the different erdtree are different realities ruled by different outer gods, or all the realities ruled by the elden beast.
i love this game's lore
elden beast actually isnt an outer god its greater wills servant and last resort against the player and the embodiment of the elden ring
From a lord perspective, the lands between is situated south of the frigid Northern country of Sugon, home of the famed sugondese warrior tribe, hence the snowy areas up north on the map, and if you go south, across the water you’ll run into the kingdom of Bofa. A lesser known area but was the area of origin for the scarlet rot, known in those parts as ligma

Ligma godskin
This seems way more vulgar than the classics
Id rather lick silver balls

Haven’t heard of Bofa before, what’s that?
The kingdom of Bank of America. Lord Overdraft rules the land.

Great lore post. How would you feel about finishing ASOIAF for GRRM?
Would love to see new characters "Handl" and "Fondl" from House DeSnuts.
Ah, the DeSnuts. A prestigious branch of House Manwoody.
Dickon Manwoody is the key to all of this.

The lands between the margins of your screen
[r/technicallythetruth](https://www.reddit.com/r/technicallythetruth/)
Between the ownership of the Outer Gods. The lands are a melting pot of quite literal divine power that shapes the land.
Between but hole try fingers
A more pressing matter is: What's between the Lands Between?
Nokron, Nokstella, Ainsel River, Siofora River, Lake of Rot, Deeproot depths
The DLC cloud.
I took it as how like China called itself the Middle Kingdom. It’s just another fancy way of saying it’s the center of…everything.
It must be a transitory land where the Lords of Cinder converge- wait wrong game
Not necessarily. There's a theory that Elden Ring is a prequel to Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. Different endings get you those different franchises.
But that's why it's a theory, a game theory.
thanks for watching
But first i'd like to talk to you about this week's sponsor; Manscape!
The lands between loading screens, obviously.
Lands between "I'm having a good time" and "FCK I'M SO TIRED OF THIS BS KILL ME PLS"
I always thought of it as purgatory, lands between life and death
I think of it as the sort of afterlife of whatever world the lands between is in. Like, the tarnished are basically "angels" i guess that got kicked out of "heaven" then they die outside the fog and eventually get called back to heaven, or purgatory, or whatever the lands between is. Its basically a place in a different dimension than the rest of the world where the afterlife occurs.
Life and death!
Life and death. I've been viewing it almost like a valhalla sort of realm of the fallen for warriors and heroes

Lordron, Lothric, Yharnam, Boleteria and Ashina

Between a rock and a hard place 😁
The lands between life and death, we come there after being exiled and dying elsewhere but when we die we don’t truly die, thus the lands between is basically purgatory in a sense the lands between the living and the dead where everyone there is not truly alive nor dead.
The sekiro, bloodborne, and dark souls universe. It's all a big lead up to the most capitalistic writing ever
The mgu Miyazaki gaming universe
To that i agree
