[Anewbous]

Wow, I did not know that Irish people were the only ones who had stories about werewolves. Interesting.

Or trolls; incredibly common in the mythology of Norse nations.

I'm Scotch-Irish by descent, but this is a little goofy; a lot of mythology is shared across multiple cultural groups--finding the origin point is often impossible, given that many of these tales predate written records.

[FafnirChaos]

Between the three of them norse, greek and egypt(from the west) have all kinds of mythologies that intertwine with others. Also a lot of games have these mythologies inside them(one way or another)

Also because mythologies have no copyrights, they can be used though inspiration and cannot be stolen. They are merely just being passed down through a new medium.

Not sure how much say GRRM had in creating the world (they advertised it as if he came up with it all, but I recall reading that they only used like 10% of his ideas), but it’s well known via GoT that he takes most of his inspiration from both historical and mythological English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish roots.

Outside of that, the developer is Japanese so obviously they’re gonna be using the most popular/well-known Western legends, myths, history, etc to help create their world in Elden Ring.

Google: now equivalent to written histories, collections of tales, and libraries.

Protip: the first page of results is generally a poor place to land when doing "research."

Lol my land is poor let me remembered you Irish fella "Irish Potato Famine,[1][2] was a period of starvation and disease in Ireland from 1845 to 1852 that constituted a historical social crisis which subsequently had a major impact on Irish society and history as a whole" and my country Ottoman helping your country 500.000 dollar.Now you can eat more patato:lol_tk: no need thanks 👍

This and the other section of a Wiki entry you quoted here has what to do with your original thesis?

Poor use of cited material. Final grade: F.

[Sabaithal]

I figured there was some Irish/welsh influence given the accents of some of the characters. Though FROM games always take homage from multiple sources.

The fire giant definitely comes from Norse for example.

Nokron and Nokstella, its hard to say, but I'd wager some Holy Roman Empire mixed with Arabian, possibly Persian in there.

Leyndell is probably a bit closer to Classic Roman Empire before its major fall, mixed with a little bit of Gothic.

And Caelid is from German Fairy tales.

Yes, and the flask of crystal tears is the whiskey. With everyone gulping on that ♥♥♥♥ all the time, it's no wonder the Lands Between look like North Korea.

[The Spirit of Jazz]

It's all actually based on the mythology of Manchester, England. Hence why Boggart is your classic Manc.

According to something someone pointed out on youtube:

Mogh Lord of Blood appears to be inspired by the Irish arch druid Mug Ruith which is pronounced as Mogh Roith which is name is a onomatopoeia of.

The druid's name effectively meant "Slave of the Wheel".

This gives interesting context for Mohg as it implies his names means"Slave Lord of Blood".

Aka it implies that the Formless Mother has enslaved Mohg to do her bidding.

Fun Fact: Both are blind in the same eye just for different reasons.
