Bandai Europe website says this:

Transported to ages long ago, you will relive the Shattering, a war that brought darkness to the Lands Between, initiated by demigods’ hunger for power. You’ll fight alongside General Radahn and Malenia the Severed, but even these two undefeatable warriors couldn’t reunite a world so badly broken. There is only one hope left: the hope that a new Elden Lord will rise and lift the veil of shadows that has fallen over Marika’s domain.

This goes against basically everything we know about the game so I feel like this was written by an intern. Maybe it’s only referring to the trailer?

Names tend to be similar for relations in Souls. Gwyn's son is Gwyndolin and his daughter is Gwynevere. Siegmeyer of Catarina's daughter is Sieglinde. It's why I assumed Godwyn the Golden from the story video is the brother of Godrick the Golden the boss we've already seen.

Speaking of Vaati

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5cQh6Xj-fA

By the way the official website has a summary of the trailer that's a lot easier to understand and puts in some more details

quote:

The storyteller folds her slender hands - both pairs - and speaks.
“It happened an age ago. But when I recall, I see it true.”
So begins the tale of the Shattering, a devastating war between the children of Marika, Demigods of the Lands Between.

One grim night in the depths of winter, a flock of unknown assassins stole across the Lands Between.
In a coetaneous attack, this foul covenant snuffed out the lives of many of the God-Queen’s kin throughout the empire, too numerous and too scattered for her godly protection to save.

The assassins’ targets were multifold, but none was as devastating a loss to the Eternal Queen as that of Godwyn the Golden. After his death, the Elden Ring was somehow shattered, and the order of the world broke with it.

Out of this chaos came war. Open, bitter war, pitting blood against blood and kin against kin.
The conflict broke a vast and prosperous empire into brittle fragments.

No single side could find enough purchase to maintain a decisive victory, even when fueled by the power of a Great Rune.
The battle of General Radahn against Malenia the Severed illustrated that neither strength nor skill alone would be enough to take control of the entirety of the lands Marika had united.

And so, the Lands Between are no longer gripped by open war, but caught in an uneasy stalemate that seems impossible to resolve.

“Unless of course,” the storyteller says, a coy smile on both her lips, “thou shouldst take the crown?”

If the lords are in a stalemate then killing Godrick as the first boss will probably kickstart the plot. Maybe there'll even be a timeskip afterwards to show the other lords acting in response to the balance of power being broken

Also this seems heavily influenced by Norse mythology, if that wasn't already obvious. Godwyn's death signalling the start of a massive war is really similar to Baldr's death before Ragnarok. Also it all starting in winter could be a reference to Fimbulwinter

1. I guess that explains why so many of the bosses are redheads.
2. "Neither strength nor skill alone would be enough to take control of the entirety of the lands" = quality builds will be OP?
3. This story is weirdly reminiscent of a webcomic called Kill Six Billion Demons, which I'm pretty sure took a bunch of inspiration from From games, so I'm excited to see their take on a similar idea.

I don't know that Dark Souls is that hard to understand, at least the basics (Gwyn linked the fire, it wasn't permanent, so go do it again. And again. And again). There's a lot of details, many of which make no sense at all, but at least the basic concept isn't too hard to grasp.

So is this a statement about how we communicate, suggesting that everything we say is somehow a reference- that our words evoke a shared cultural understanding that goes far beyond the words themselves, and that what we call "memes" are not mere repetition but in fact a basic part of communication? Or is it simply a joke in the popular "deez nutz" format? This is why we need Vaati and those like him, now more than ever.
