By the way, Miquella can't charm en-masse so he can't charm the world. We see his charm only works face to face, one on one. That's why he has Radahn, as his Godfrey. Just like Marika and Godfrey fought wars to establish their new order, so would Radahn and Miquella.

Gonna use this post's popularity to also add that radahn accepted miquella's vow. That's why he's called "promised consort." And why it was a mutual two sided vow miquella had to hold up his own end of.

more proof? radahn fights us, thiollier, our summon, and ansbach. if miquella could charm from afar or multiple at once there would be no need for such a battle to take place. and he couldn't do it en mass or from afar before either. that's why malenia fought for him.

Not to mention miquella does not have the power, need, or desire post-godhood to brainwash the world. If he could do that he wouldn't need to grab his opponents and whisper in their ear one on one to charm them one at a time.

i like how the differences in buildup in payoff/resolution between this part of Radahn's Starscourge theme and his promised king theme are so different. One somber and mournful, the other triumphant and heroic. There's no way the intention was a tragic tone for DLC Radahn.

There is no need for Miquella "apologists". For one he didn't canonically do 99% of the bad stuff people say he did. For two, he already apologized. For what his mother did, and for what he is. The apology is at every cross. Pay attention to the story, and you'll feel for him.

@MadAlienArt radahn made a vow of honorable death with jerren to ensure he'd die honorably if he himself ended up in a dishonorable state. needless to say radahn fully intended to hold up his end regardless of if malenia succeeded in actually killing him.

Just realized. The Japanese translation totally fits this interpretation even more. Instead of "My lord brother's soul will return", Miquella says "The strong soul returns." They were forging Radahn's soul to be strong enough to come back!

Not to stir the pot on the Radahn/Miquella discourse but I really think there's an issue with some people's view on consent Radahn has no dialogue, his body was rotted, revived in a blood-ritual, disfigured and used like a puppet by a character who can manipulate even the player

Miquella was to become a god with radahn as his lord in the land of shadow and then come back and heal malenia. So their relationship wasn't ruined at all. They have always been on the same page

@our_cheesus @sekirodubi st trina is also referred to as a boy. "St. Trina is an enigmatic figure. Some say she is a comely young girl, others are sure he is a boy. The only certainty is that their appearance was as sudden as their disappearance." miquella is prepubescent and has long hair. Androgynous.

All I'm hearing is "I will ignore freyja because she doesn't fit my headcanon" She's not a simple redmane. She is Radahn's "personal guard" and one of his "most trusted warriors" and knows him arguably better than ansbach knows mohg. Stop disrespecting and invalidating her.

@sekirodubi on one hand, even if you don't believe this is confirmation (even though most lore confirmations happen in item descriptions in fromsoft games), this at least guarantees that Fevor was a man who was an expert on St Trina, and believed she and Miquella were the same person.

If Radahn were acting against his own will in the final battle there would be some hint of it. But even his OST fits the tone of the dlc's ending, putting you up against a warrior who fights you of his own free will and desire to be a lord. That's the only way this works tonally

#ShadowoftheErdtree I can only imagine how Miquella must have felt. After painfully discarding his body and feelings he stood alone in this room, terrified. But he couldn't go back. All he could do is cut off his feelings of fear. The fear of what godhood would mean for him.
