Hey guys, I just started playing Shadow of the Erdtree and I'm starting to suspect the lore is really dark (lemm.ee)

IDK, just a vibe I'm getting. I have a feeling the back story to this world is a lot more twisted than you'd initially think.

Has anyone noticed this too? Do you think there's more to the DLC than just a big tree and a cosmic egg?

Yeah between the whole thing starting off with a genocide ordered by Marika and Miquella...

spoiler

leaving bits of himself all over the Land of Shadows for opaque reasons

it's probably going to get dark. Dunno if you got to the first boss yet but it was a pretty upsetting concept for me.

edit: and there's the whole "Miquella's superpower is compelling people to do things" angle.

I found a rune called The Eye of Marika then found the point nearby saying that was where he left his eye. I pit two and two together and felt like Vaati for a moment
