If there's other lore bits out there that say it's specifically the gods they killed, I just don't recall it (I could be wrong). There are humanish faces on the outfits, but there's also symbols, shapes, and embroidery. I don't think that's definitive. The base skin is smooth & white...which also isn't like a typical snake but would match the specific one in the Story Trailer (assuming this theory is right).

Everything is connected to eyes in ER - to add some more to your list: the Beast eye, the Fell God's eye on the Giants, Astel/Falllingstar's Eyehead, the fact that the blood-star only appears to people who have had their eyes blinded (i.e. the influence of other gods diminished), the fact that we see a bunch of skulls around the Lands Between with glowing eyes which turn out to contain Runes.

    I can see where you come from for madness and it's power being manifested through the eyes, but I'm not sure what you mean by the power of runes and eyes, grace eyes, and the dragon eyes. As far as dragon eyes go- that's only where the transformation into a dragon starts. The eyes become dragon eyes as the first sign of dragon communion but the power doesn't manifest from the eyes.

Meaning they can't see / are not influenced by grace (the elden beast or God thats part of the golden order). Godfrey used to have those golden eyes for example. The dragon eyes I see it as a form of transformation that starts by consuming or taking the power of dragons. Dragons also had a god that allegedly disappeared a long time ago. Basically, elden ring has this very clear connection between power and eyes. And also runes that you find throughout the world, the more runes they give you the more they look like irises.

In ancient Chinese culture the snake is considered the guardian of treasure and riches. It's also a symbol of wisdom and strength. This beautiful and unique decorative knot can be used to make a purse handle, a choker-style necklace, a belt or a bracelet.

And since runes look so much like irises and we can get them from crushing skulls, I theorised the threads are made of the same "material" (energy) as runes are, basically the power of the Elden Ring. And the intro about the seduction and betrayal, paired with the snake and tree imageries make this into a really compeling theory. PS: thanks for lowering the background music a pinch!

    So the Gloam Eyed queen was the god to Placidusax in the age before the Erdtree, when she gave birth to many demigod children including the godskins and the god devouring serpent. When the Numen people arrived in the lands betwene the Numen empyrion Marika (in the form of Radagon who had not yet developed his own personality) infiltrated the royal capital of Farum Azula, seduced and betrayed GEQ and when she went to pull the shards of the elden ring from her still warm corpse discovered their unwanted child within. Placidusax fled taking the capital with him, and Marika used her firstborn son as a weapon to subdue the lands at the heart of the old order whilst she built the new one. In the history books Marika would swap the roles of herself and the Gloam Eyed Queen, portraying the serpent as the traitor to the erdtree instead of the other way round and hiding all the evidence of the truth away in shadow.

    From the first time I saw this trailer it looked like godskin cloth that marika was reaching into. it has the same thick folds, white color, and you can faintly see stitching. however we see a godskin in the temple of eglay in the volcano manner- this could tie into that. snakes definitely have a role that we don’t fully grasp yet. Also it seems strange that marika would reach into a snakes eye, where as reaching into the parted cloth of a corpses’ clothing makes more sense. (after typing I have a thought, snakes’ eyes turn a milky blue color just before they shed their skin- this is an oily secretion that helps the old skin slide off, so…assuming the gloam queen *was a snake, maybe this skin shedding was where the idea for the godskins came from? maybe the color of her eyes influenced her title as queen?)

Because they bring definitive powers of Death through different contexts & iterations. That's why his eye is sealed with a Soreseal, before a different means is employed for Melina, but hers only opens at the Frenzied Flame ending. Gloam Eyed Queen got back at Marika for killing her, by embedding herself into her lineage. Then other aspects of curses got in, such as Omen Horns, & then the Rot, & as with Miquella....

    Another connection between the GEQ and Snakes are that Snails are crepuscular in nature, coming out at twilight. Miyazaki designed the Snails as Snakes intentionally. If he had wanted the Snails to be actual Snails he would have had them designed as such. Snails are hermaphroditic (like Marika, and perhaps the GEQ is, too). Another interesting detail to note is the Imps in the catacombs are said to use "serpent-tongued" weapons in version 1.00. The more I think about it the more it seems like tge catacombs are essentially like snake tunnels through which a large snake might once have passed underground. What if the Imps originally served the GEQ, or the Ancient Serpent god? This might explain why there are so many Snails underground (in Nokstella and the Crystal Caves). Finally, there is a strange coincidence in Miquella's study room in Elphael that needs addressing. Some people have pointed out that there are pots and jars of plants in the study room and that these plants resemble the ones that are shown on the dlc art wherein Miquella is riding Torrent. But what nobody mentions are all of the SHELLS in his collection on the tables. There are snail shells, sea slug snails, spiral shells, oyster shells, and several other types of shells in his little compartment drawers. It seems an odd detail to have included.

    Dude i LOVE this theory and ever since fighting messmer a few days ago i CAN NOT get the whole snake imagery out of my head. After finding your video today it made *click* on so many levels. I was wondering WHY and HOW Rykard found out about there being a snake deity and why he turned to THAT ONE specifically if Marika always forbid everything related to snakes and it was so frowned upon. Why was he SO obsessed? Maybe because in his position as being a PRAETOR he found out about some of the stuff marika tried to hide away - as well as marika ASCENDING to godhood because of - possibly- taking something from a very snake? Your image about the "womb" actually being a snake blew me away - also the mention of the beast eye WHICH IS ALSO WITH A PURPLE HUE is SO fitting. Now after we know that Marika literally used SEALS in the form of EYES to seal away something - I had a thought: Theoretically if Messmer and Melina are related and one has a literal Eye-seal - might Melina ALSO have one of those seals (on the side that is closed?) sealing away a part of OR even the soul of TGEQ. Because in the game we find 2 items that FIT this purpose so wonderfully: Marikas Soreseal (which I think is the one Messmer got that says: "This legendary talisman is an eye engraved with an Elden Rune, said to be the seal of Queen Marika. Solemn duty weighs upon the one beholden; not unlike a gnawing curse from which there is no deliverance."

    Following the idea that Marika/Radagon had an affair with the snake to produce Messmer and then betrayed it: doesn't Marika's bangle look an awful lot like a coiled snake? Would make a lot of sense to wear something like that if you were said snake god's consort... Honestly, given that snakes are heretical I've always wondered why she wears a bangle that looks like one. I also think there's a lot of supporting evidence for this claim in Norse mythology. I'd recommend people watch GamePlus's video on the Norse influences on Elden Ring, because there's a lot. Assuming the Erdtree is inspired by Yggdrasil (the world tree that exists in the space between realms ala the lands between), we know that a serpent coils around the roots of the Yggdrasil trying to destroy it from beneath. This would support your claim that a serpent god in opposition to the Erdtree resided in the crucible, what would become the base of the Erdtree. It also makes sense that if it were a snake, Marika would be reaching into its eye, the main identifying feature of the GEQ. This is a great theory imo

    After playing the dlc, i cant help but think of this video. Perhaps taking the golden strands out of the serpent's eye is the act that inspired "the priests of the Erdtree" to create the Iris of Occlusion. Maybe that serpent is the Abyssal snake, that may or may not also be the Gloam Eyed Queen. When Mesmer pops out the Iris of Grace, it would be out of the same eye that Marika took the golden strands out of. Maybe that's why she abandoned mesmer, because she fears the power of the Abyssal snake if it were to ever spring free.

Everything looks like Marika rewrote history to make herself look better than she actually was.

    while i’m still stuck on how a giant snake would hold a sword, or why it would need a sword the geq being a snake makes sense, because it also explains why the godskinners fashion themselves to look like serpents, to imitate their queen. a gigantic snake rivalling the power of gods might be the case study that rykard needed to let a serpent devour him. a snake being marika’s first ops also explain the massive snake hate that permeates the lands between. also i think it makes sense too that the god eating serpent and the geq are not related, and the god eating serpent is just a serpent. we’ve seen snakes forming shells that help them blend into their environments to avoid persecution (snakes with glintstone shells live in glintstone caves, snakes with skull shells live in/near catacombs or skeletons). if we know snakes and serpents adopt the characteristics of the things they devour (like the 2 winged dragons), then we could assume that the god eating serpent grew big simply from devouring a demigod + a mass amounts of bodies. notice how there are so many bodies, the debris texture/effects in the boss room is a bunch of limbs

So with this implied, is the game world, "Lands Between", originally the home of the Elden Beast? Or if that's not the case, she brought it over into the shadow/gloam world we see her walking through, thereby enforcing her own order via the elden beast, creating the now golden Order. Keep in mind, the crucible, was the Greatreee not the Erdtree. Thats why they were called "crucible knights" lol with the original version of how the tree USED to look like. They were then shunned and exiled because of Marika being a maniac tyrant and wanted HER way😂 or at least to hide an "affair" they mentioned. Edit: WAIT HOLD UP.

Lilith also knew the secret name of god which gave her the power to fly...
