Moxie Watts | Elden Ring is literally just Rome... @MoxieWatts | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 1 hour ago
This episode is for the curious, join me as we navigate the Lore of Elden Ring: parallels between the disciplined order of Rome and Queen Marika's Reign in The Lands Between. Shadow of the Erdtree is right around the corner! In this episode, we explore how these ancient concepts are reborn in the Elden Rings lore, design, and overarching themes.
