Given Rennala's ability to reshape people's appearances, the line saying she "gifted" Rellana with black hair sounds like it could mean she rebirthed her, but I asked Lokey_DS about how the line reads in Japanese and it seems fairly certain that she did literally just give some of her own hair to her sister. A queen or princess granting a lock of their hair to a knight as a favor is an idea I've seen before, so it makes sense here. I got a lot of questions about Rellana's face, but sadly this is all there is to show.

He knows of the Tarnished and since Messmer has been denied any contact with the Lands between since his exile, it means he must have been there when the Tarnished left and only later started the crusade.

Marika is pretty messed up

I find it so cool that Messmer was actually a charismatic and kind leader to his own soldier and followers while going to wage a horrible and brutal crusade. Meanwhile Miquella has to forcibly mind control his followers to get along and was gonna do the same to all the Lands Between to create an everlasting peace.

Well with that moon head visual, now I can only keep thinking "Rellana, Lord of the Frenzied Moon."

Rellana is such a sweet lass, trying her best to help Messmer even if to no avail.

One idea that’s been lingering in my head is that, given how her helmet description makes a point of Rennala’s hair being lustrous and black, that Rellana had bad hair and a slight complex about it in youth. Might have been thin, unruly texture, or maybe the Liurnians prized black hair for being “like the night sky” and hers is brown or such. Just a little detail.

But when looking at the values those two houses cherish, Carians come off as much more human, much less bloodthirsty, and infinitely more civilized. Like, their women actually love the dudes they marry. Compare that to Marika marrying whichever Lord serves to give her more followers... She has to appeal to the lowest common denominator and not in a good way. Miquella was gonna do things better, combine the values of those two houses once more, but look how that turned out....

​@realnarouchan true, but from what we know of carian marriages, the women give the spouses a sword as proposal. If messmer gave Rellana the sword, he's technically the wife

she doesnt have a face? thats just how dedicated of a knight she was, literally giving up her identity for messmer 🤓

2:34 Lord of Frenzied Flame would like to know your location

Rellana is the highlight of a deeply stacked DLC. I love everything about this boss

I did not realize Rellana had them thangs on her like that

She should visit her sister. Maybe Rennala could stop moping around if she would get actual mental support from her family.

It wouldn't be a Fromsoft game then. Reconciliation is a foreign concept to Miyazaki. He only knows betrayal and loss.

The moon head was a nice touch. Another banger of a vid, been watching a long time and the quality is just going up and up

I notice it every time but I really appreciate the effort you put into the visuals, they look really nice.

It was good to see Pontiff Suluvahn again

I'm just amazed by the curvature of those... moons... Also the magic/fire swords is neat. Reminds of of DS3 with Dancer and Pontiff Sully.

I never get tired of your writing in these posts.

I really love those videos, feels like someone tells us the story of Elden Ring as if it was in a Ghibli movie. Probably it's the music doing that, but I appreciate it.

The fact about the lock of hair stands out to me whenever I see fanart of her, though I don't have the heart to reach out and umm actually their rendition of her like that.

"They brought this back" could be used to describe the majority of Shadow of the Erdtree.

I love listening to the music of ur clips and enjoy the lore ofc, but i love your chilling picks for the soundtracks ❤

Love these breakdowns! I'm never going to come to these conclusions on my own game time, I'm glad we have loremasters like you around!! 😊

The lighting in the thunbnail makes it look like Rellana's wearing anime armor, with only the top half of her Twin Moons being covered.

WE LOVE YOU ZULLIE

I missed this when you use this music. It makes it relaxing to watch!

1:09 actually the fire sword is a straight sword as indicated by its move set. well dual wielding the swords the R1 move set is the light greatsword power stance, the R2 is the one handed like greatsword R2. & the L1 combo (in which you use only the fire sword) is the straight sword move set.

its so funny everyone links her to pontiff... my brain registered her more as "dancer before the pontiff ring"

Same. You have to be able to duplicate a shadow version of yourself as well. But, she has two glowy swords so she’s sulyvahn now.

Rellana was deeply in love with Messmer, and followed him into the Realm of Shadow. It was a love that he could never reciprocate, and eventually the desolation of all that she gave up and all that she would never have destroyed her. That’s why she has no dialogue, no cutscene. By the time that we encounter her, she’s basically gone hollow.

thats why she is ready to whoop our asses as soon as we come to Castle Ensis. The only satisfaction she has left is combat so she makes sure if we are looking to kill messmer we're gonna have to go through her and that we have to work for it

NEW ZULLIE VIDEO!!

Amazing editing and tale, ty

I love the format of your videos! So calming, love that I have to read and not listen to a rambling person spitting facts, it's like warming to my heart

Rellana's face most likely is identical to Rennala's, they're twins after all. You can argue they're dizygotic, but I don't think so

@DanielGarcia-rx3kt

Thing is, Rellana is specifically named the younger sister. Though technically twins can be designated that way too, Elden Ring doesn't specify that they're twins. For example, we don't know who the older is of the twins Miquella and Malenia so chances are this applies to the Carians too. Meaning there might be a third Carian royalty whose name starts with an R that is an adherent of another moon... In other words, Renna. I think it's possible the Three Sisters in Caria Manor aren't a reference to Ranni and her siblings but rather Rennala and her younger twin siblings Rellana and Renna.

Daniel got it, but I also want to add that they straight up don't look alike at al as far as body types go. Renallas got some freaky long limbs

I remember seeing a bunch of people talking about how Renalla was actually light haired for some reason. And the dlc gave us an armor piece that says look at Renalla's long dark hair.

That backround music you use makes me so happy

I love this channel cus in game I'm usually just tense and terrified, and then I fight for my life against something, not having the time, oportunity or will to appreciate it fully - I'm getting demolished so, coming here to see who they were... it's super interesting! :D

*Rellana deserved a cutscene...*

Things the DLC made me want: to rescue Marika, kill every last hornsent and bring Messemer and his soldiers home.

Zelda music is so godly great analysis as always!

You know it’s a good day when Zullie uploads

the real tragedy of the twin moon is how shit her weapons are when you redeem her rememberance.

Her weapon has a unique moveset which I personally value more than being meta (Fromsoft can easily change numbers on a weapon with any patch). I beleave her twin swords are the only melee weapon in the game with a left handed attack in place of the block.

Makes one wonder WTF was going on in the DLCs development that some of the stuff in here came out abrupt and half-baked, both in terms of lore and lack of boss cutscenes and dialogue.

@TriforceWisdom64

As much as I love every Soulsborne game, that's kinda the case with all of them besides Sekiro. The rush to rearrange assets and reconfigure mechanics late in development has had pretty obvious effects in every game. See the cut Archstone, the Dragon Butts of Izalith, all of DS2, Kos and Ebrietas switching names and making Micolash's dialogue confusing, Sulyvahn having no cutscene or dialogue (plus iirc his model was originally called Aldrich and located in the Kiln as final boss), and finally Elden Ring adding entire NPCs and quests in free updates because some stuff just dead-ended unexpectedly on day 1.

Remember, no bosses need cutscene. Its just a bonus

No need for her to worry. I granted him as much relief as he needed.

She’s probably Rennala’s mimic tear. Sneaky twin

Her lore honestly feels like fanfic. Never before heard twin sister of Rennala who's name is Rellana who is very important, but gets absolutely no introduction or anything and there is no mention of her after that and may as well be filler. It kind of feels like From threw her character together just so SOTE has a dedicated Mage area and boss for main plot.

We never found out anything about Renna, and she has one of the three sisters' towers. I don't think it made sense that one of the Towers was named after Seluvis, so maybe it originally belonged to Rellena

The area where Ranni stays is called the Three Sisters, so it's most likely Rennala,Rellana, and Renna. Two are taken one Ranni and the Second by Saluvis which is obviously not one of the sisters.

@@elphiefanful Sure but in the base game, important characters get set up before you see them, everything feels like it belongs. Like you read the sword monuments which let you know about Malenia and Radahn. The DLC lore feels completely separate from the base game, under the convenient guise of "Marika hid the land of shadow away" which leads me to believe the DLC wasn't planned until after release. It was definitely a letdown from a story/lore perspective for me.

Fire Video as always

My favorite bit of Rellana lore is that shes rhe reason that one collapsed town leads to Bonny village, by mooning them too hard

finally, a video about rellana's head, just what ive been waiting for

Wasn’t expecting the Monument Mythos crossover at 2:35 lmao

That's a tragedy indeed Mother, wouldst thou truly conceal thine visage

Lmfao I've had such a shit day at work and "her head is a metal potato" just destroyed me

This came up on Twitter last night and you were the FIRST place I went to see if someone had revealed Rellana's face. But there was nothing. And then just three hours ago, here it is! I knew I could count on you. Best Souls analysis in the game!

Good video as always. Would have liked to see a comparison between the moves she shares with the Pontiff like the double sword swing over the right hand shoulder

I love how often G.R.R.M. just moves some letters around and just dumps a rhyming character out.

Such a great character and probably my favorite fight in the entire DLC, if not the game as a whole.

I love this boss and everything about her. This video truly proves why. Cheers, Zullie!
