Elden Ring is set in the Lands Between that was once ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal. She acts as the keeper of the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree. One day, the Queen shatters the Elden Ring and disappears, causing her demigod children to fight over the different pieces of the ring. Each demigod has in their possession a shard of the ring called the Great Rune which sadly corrupts them with power.
