Let’s talk about Mt. Gelmir

Mt. Gelmir is one of my favorite locations in the game because of its striking environmental storytelling… the minute you start exploring the slopes of the volcano, you can just FEEL that something awful happened here. The imagery is so potent that I wanted to go through every detail of the region and explore how it supports and expands the story we’re told through dialogue and text. Let’s start with the text on the Mt. Gelmir sword monument:

“The Assault on Volcano Manor

The squalid, the sick, the blasphemous;

A wretched, unending war with no glory”

This dismal description refers to Leyndell’s attack on Praetor Rykard’s forces at Volcano Manor. After the Shattering war broke out, Rykard declared his intention to take up arms against the Erdtree itself: this was not just treason, but blasphemy, marking him as “an enemy, never to be forgiven.” We can conclude that Rykard’s blasphemy was so unacceptable that Leyndell made it a priority to silence him as quickly as possible, sending an army straight to his doorstep. I believe it’s implied that Rykard had the Mt. Gelmir Minor Erdtree burned as his first act of blasphemy; we find the tree destroyed amidst a smoking ruin:

The assault on Volcano Manor, introduced to us by Gideon Ofnir as “the most appalling battle in the entirety of the Shattering,” was the site of some of the most horrific violence in the entire story. Traveling around Mt. Gelmir, we can observe the gruesome aftermath of the battle and the remnants of the armies continuing to struggle — some scattered groups of Leyndell soldiers remain, while the only troops left to Rykard are his marionettes and iron virgins, since his knights have long since deserted him after his hideous transformation. (Side note: I love the detail that Rykard uses marionettes and avionettes, which were “crafted to serve the sorcerers;” it further cements his identity as a sorcerer and his connection to his Liurnian heritage.) Despite having no real soldiers though, Rykard’s grim constructs seem to tear through the remaining soldiers of Leyndell with ease, which we can observe in real time:

The death toll of this conflict cannot be overstated — the slopes of Mt. Gelmir are literally piled high with bodies.

Within a pit of corpses, we can find the spirit of one of Rykard’s men, who says this:

“Lord Rykard… If this putrid field of death is what your blasphemy would bring, then I can no longer abide. No one can.”

These unspeakable horrors are enough to make Rykard’s followers question if the cost of resistance is too high a price. Leyndell’s armies are just as badly affected — stranded on the mountain with no hope of reinforcements, we can observe several soldiers feasting on the bodies of their fallen comrades:

These soldiers have long abandoned any hope of achieving glory, and are little more than mindless husks at this point. Furthermore, if we return to the sword monument, something you’ll notice as you make your way over is that there are several Leyndell soldiers who are affected by the frenzied flame. At the same time, the troll soldier guarding the door to the Manor is also affected by the frenzied flame:

The frenzied flame is affecting soldiers of both sides of the conflict here, which tells me it wasn’t being used as some kind of weapon, but that it took hold independently… I believe that the frenzied flame was embraced by the soldiers here due to the sheer hopelessness of those who have experienced this uniquely horrific battle. The ethos of the Three Fingers is essentially that the world is full of unendurable pain, so it must all be melted away so no one will suffer ever again: “the Greater Will made a mistake. Torment, despair, affliction... every sin, every curse. Every one, born of the mistake. […] Those who gave me grapes howled without words. Saying they wished they were never born. Become their lord. Take their torment, despair. Their affliction. Every sin, every curse. And melt it all away.” (Hyetta)

The soldiers who fought on Mt. Gelmir have experienced untold suffering, the very worst of humanity… it makes perfect sense that such people would be susceptible to the essence of the frenzied flame; to want to burn this tormented world to the ground.

#elden ring #elden ring lore #mt gelmir #rykard #rykard lord of blasphemy #i’ve seen people say before that this battle was a victory for leyndell which is completely insane to me #no one has achieved anything they set out to achieve #rykard never made it past mt gelmir. leyndell never broke volcano manor’s walls. #there are no winners here #only suffering #’a wretched unending war with no glory’

One of the best parts of Fellowship of the Ring is finding out about Aragorn and Bilbo’s friendship. Like I’ve seen people talk about how they collaborated on the song together, but I have yet to see people talk about this:

“[Bilbo] turned to Strider. ‘Where have you been, my friend? Why weren’t you at the feast? The Lady Arwen was there.’”

Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring pg. 261

Like. Bilbo was definitely one of Aragorn/Arwen’s chief shippers and no one can change my mind about that.

#Help I forgot their ship name #aragorn x arwen #but anyway Bilbo and Aragorn is an underrated friendship that needs to be brought up more #Especially since Bilbo is actually one of the closest in age to Aragorn in Rivendell #only like 40 years apart #As compared to the couple thousand years of Elladan and Elrohir #you can’t tell me those two didn’t bond over the crazy shit in the last ~hundred years they lived through #or that Bilbo didn’t use “well I’m older” at least once in conversation with him #because Bilbo’s a little shit and has to remind Aragorn that he’s the youngest guy there before the Fellowship and the Council #just imagine Bilbo watching Aragorn and Arwen skirt around each other for 17 years bc they have to wait until Aragorn’s king to get married #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #aragorn #bilbo baggins #arwen undomiel #the fellowship of the ring #tolkien quotes #quotes

Currently reading Sansûkh because I am not able to move around much right now, and I was just thinking how like, all the interspecies ships HAVE to be collaborative works between Mahal and the other Valar, so basically they got together and made OC's specifically to fall in love and get married, and if that isn't fandom-coded behavior, idk what is.

Tldr: the Valar are a bunch of artist friends who get together and make dolls together so they can kiss and fall in love and get married 💕

#That still only counts as one! #mine #jo is talking #silly #funny (to me) #sansûkh #lord of the rings #bagginshield #gimleaf #gigolas #kili and tauriel #the elf and dwarf who made the doors #dont act like you didnt know those two were in love and living happily tinkering and crafting together #valar #lotr #edit to add arwen and aragorn #bless my sweet cardboard cutout man and his hot older wife #truly the most forgettable ship in the series but we all still love them so much #it's just because everyone else's is also funny #bless

Celeborn: I LOVE kids!

Galadriel: You'll do.

When byler is trekking the UD together in s5 and one of them brings up how they’re like Sam and Frodo 😳

#byler #stranger things #then what? #we would never recover I fear #no bc imagine antis not being able to refute byler paralleling sam and frodo bc mike and will themselves make a joke about it… #for reference st has made references to LOTR before #even some of will’s drawings in the earlier seasons seem LOTR inspired #it goes even further beyond that with several moments paralleling Sam and Frodo with Mike and Will… #with the added bonus of sean astin literally right there in the shot beside mike 😭 #and given one of the few things we know about s5 is that it’s going to be inspired by Return of the King… #with sam and frodo journeying towards mordor… #combined with all the hints that mike and will are going to end up alone in the UD together… #there’s a serious possibility one of our final verbal LOTR references is gonna be byler/samfro related #let that sink in… #‘remember when the boys made us watch that movie about the gay guys on the mountain!’ #‘Lord of the Rings!’ #the fact that this joke not only applies to lord of the rings but also brokeback mountain 😭 #anyways #summer roberts predicted byler endgame believe it or not

Imagine the hilarity of legolas saying “eat the rich” and “down with the nobles” within the hearing distance of imlardis.

Elladan: but... aren’t you one?

Legolas: lmao, nah. My dad might be in charge but that doesn’t really mean much for the rest of the family. And tbf he was elected bc of his skills not bc he had a lot of mahoola or was Oropher’s kid.

Elrohir: Oropher?

Legolas: same hat. Although in his case it was more that my grandmother was in charge but she didn’t want to deal with outsiders, due to reasons, so she threw him at the wolves.

Elladan: us??

Legolas: you’re ok, but on thin fucking ice.

Elrohir. What!?

———————————————————————————

Silvans respect those who’ve earned it. Not bc they happen to be born to the right person.

Listen, Legolas had to escort 1 noble, and that was enough.
