![]() Queen Marika attained all three requirements by being born from one god, marrying Godfrey, and having her half-brother Maliketh become her Shadow (i.e., protector). In order for one to become the lord of the Lands Between and elevate to the status of a god-like Queen Marika, one needs three things: a consort, a Shadow, and Empyrean status. In either case, Ranni proves she is functionally an Empyrean, meaning there are around four in Elden Ring including Melina.īeing an Empyrean comes with major expectations in the lore of Elden Ring. This conflicts with the title of being an Empyrean because Ranni is said to be born from Radagon and Rennala, while Melina is direct siblings with Malenia and Miquella. However, when Ranni the witch doll demigod explains who the Empyreans are, she lists herself as an Empyrean and not Melina. ![]() ![]() Malenia and Miquella are the daughter and son of Queen Marika and her male form Radagon. Two of them more clearly fulfill the requirements of being an Empyrean. In the Lands Between, there are between three and four Empyreans depending on who is asked. This is different from how the Golden Lineage was born from the first sovereign couple in Elden Ring, Queen Marika and Godfrey: The Empyreans were produced from a singular entity alone. The Empyreans of Elden Ring lore are demigods born from a singular god. But this would mean Melina would replace Marika as god the Lands Between. Melina's status as an Empyrean means she could be come a god once married to a consort, a role the Tarnished could fulfill. But unlike some of her other siblings, Melina's specific lineage makes her a special type of deity: an Empyrean. She forms a relationship with the Tarnished simply to find out the purpose her mother has given her. Melina is daughter of Queen Marika and thus a demigod like the Shardbearers the Tarnished must slay to become Elden Lord. However, the powers Melina uses to accomplish these feats are part of the reason why she is not a true Finger Maiden to the Tarnished.

Whether the path leads to the safety of the Roundtable or the danger of a Shardbearer's fortress, Finger Maidens are expected to support their Tarnished in some way or another. A Finger Maiden is a woman chosen by the Two Fingers - a religious leader and devotee of the Golden Order - to pair with a Tarnished attempting to claim the Elden Ring. But to do so, the Tarnished will first need a Finger Maiden to guide them. The endgame of Elden Ring is to become the Elden Lord, reestablish a sense of order in the Lands Between, and grant the Tarnished a touch of Grace from the Erdtree once more.
