Overview
Summoned, they leave exile to travel the world on their trusty steeds, engaging in deep battles and unleashing magical abilities to explore the dark, atmospheric world of the Elden Ring universe. Their eyes burn with determination, driven by one goal: to become the Old Lord and see the Golden Order restored. Each Tainted carries with him the hopes and tragedies of his lost race, endlessly fighting against the darkening of the light. This battle makes them a formidable presence on the battlefield, an immovable target despite the land's desolation and their own exile. In the world of the overshadowed, resilience is rewarded and the downtrodden can rise again.
History
Born in the ruins, the Tarnished have no record of their origins other than stories passed down from generation to generation. Each story is different, but they share the common fate of being banished from their homes for not having proof of the Golden Order. Despite their unknown past, the bond between the Tarnished was stronger than blood, and they accepted each other as kin in this strange and hostile realm. With no place or race of their own, the Tarnished turned their curse into their power by harnessing the power of the shattered pieces of the Ring of Elden. They adapted, learning to channel the shards of the Ring, their abilities evolving with each formidable foe they slayed. Over time, they were known as a formidable force, feared by many and respected by all.
The dim people had no king or queen, no hierarchy to follow: they were equal in exile and equal in battle. Their unity and raw power became their identity, repelling a thousand blows and casting a deadly silence on their enemies. No kingdom could ever defeat them as they learned to be calm in the most trying circumstances with the weight of the Ring on their shoulders.
To this day, the tainted carry on their legacy and endure the trials and tribulations of the Ring of Elden universe. They carry the echoes of their forebears and find their place in the world not by birthright, but by sheer resilience.
History of the Tarnished is about hardship, but it also sings songs of triumph. This testifies to the indomitable will of the outcasts who chose to carve their own destiny with their own hands. Their story will be told throughout the ages as they survive, survive and evolve throughout the world of the Ring of Elden.
