SmoughTown | Elden Ring Lore | The Ancient Dragons @SmoughTown | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Before the Erdtree there were the Dragons, the masters of primordial life and ruled by their Elden Lord Placidusax. They carved out an incredible legacy, alongside their Bestmen allies and even today there are those who try to reclaim their glory through the Dragon Cult and Dragon Communion. Join me this week as we do an expansive exploration of their reign from the Prehistoric times to their influence on the current era.
