Or be forgotten. Again. [CUT TO BLACK]

But Grace never truly vanishes. It... drifts. [FADE IN – A graveyard under a gray sky. A shallow pool of golden light shimmers on a cracked stone slab. A hand, pale and ringless, reaches up through the dirt.] You. Dead once. Tarnished. Lost to the Long March. Your eyes were closed. But now they open—not to a peaceful grave, but to a call. [CAMERA PANS UP – The Tarnished protagonist rises, muddy, hollow-eyed. Behind them: a fallen spirit-caller’s bell, a broken compass, and far in the distance—the Erdtree, bleeding light.] The Fingers have no use for heroes. They need a simple thing. A survivor. A killer. Someone who will crawl through the Caelid wilds, brave the eternal night of Nokron, and die a thousand times... To reach the Elden Ring. To brandish the rune of death. And become... the Elden Lord. [The Tarnished picks up a broken straight sword from the mud.] elden ring intro script

The fallen leaves tell a story... [FADE IN – EXTREME WIDE SHOT. THE ERDTREE, glowing gold, seen from across the Mistwood. Its light is dim, fractured, bleeding amber sap.] Of how the Great Elden Ring was shattered. [CUT TO – A shattered rune arc, floating in void. Crack spreads like lightning.] In that moment, the Golden Order—the very law of the Lands Between—broke. [FLICKERING IMAGES – Marika’s hammer suspended mid-swing. A crown cracks. Gold blood sprays across stone.] Queen Marika the Eternal was nowhere to be found. Only her Radagon... and a god desperate to repair what could not be mended. [CUT TO – A dark womb-like chamber. A shattered body of light kneels, bound by floating runic chains.] The shards of the Ring became Great Runes. Seized by Marika’s demigod children—her own kin, now corrupted by their new power. [MONTAGE – FAST, BRUTAL] Godrick the Grafted , huddled in Stormveil, stitching the limbs of lesser men to his own. Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy —fed to the great serpent, now writhing beneath Mt. Gelmir, devouring champions whole. Malenia, Blade of Miquella —plagued by the scarlet rot within, yet undefeated in a hundred battles. Her brother, Miquella, vanished into a dream from which he never woke. Morgott the Grace-Given —cursed Omen king, hiding his twisted form behind a crown of gold, loving an Order that despises him. And Mohg, Lord of Blood —who would raise a new dynasty on corpses and formless mothers. [CUT TO – A ruined temple in Caelid. A red-haired warrior kneels before a dead horse.] And General Radahn —the Starscourge, who once halted the very constellations. Now, eaten from within by the scarlet bloom, he wanders a desert of rot... feasting on the dead. [SCENE – THE BATTLE OF THE SHATTERING. Brief flashes: armies crashing, a dragon falling, a colossal sword cleaving a tower.] The demigods waged war. But no victor emerged. No lord arose. Only ruin. [CUT TO – A dark chapel. A hooded figure places a finger on a limp hand. Two corpses sit on thrones.] The Two Fingers waited. And waited. Until at last, the Grace faded from their chosen champions.
