Before Elden Ring: Nightreign came out, I thought the game would take place in an alternate timeline where Ranni's Age of Stars happened. But after taking a closer look, Ranni’s version of her Age of Stars is quite different from what the Nox had in mind.

In this video, I go over the differences between Nightreign and Ranni's ending. I also make the case for why Heolstor was a Carian, and either married or was born into the family. (Or both.)
