Shadow of the Erdtree introduced Messmer; another DemiGod child of Marika and one who has been long forgotten by the Lands Between. Yet Messmer's lore is very rich and can tell us a lot about Leyndell, Marika and the history of Erdtree rule. In this story explained video, we will discuss Messmer's history and the Abyssal Serpent, the latter of which brings the concept of Light and Dark to the forefront of Elden Ring's Lore.
