The Round Table in Elden Ring plays a very important role in the game’s plot that few of us know.
Leyndell, the capital city of Middle-earth in the Elden Ring, is home to the members of the Knights of the Round Table. The place that players are used to visiting in the main game raises some questions about the Shattering event in the Elden Ring. Its destructive remains tell a story about the past in Middle-earth, and it can connect with the storylines of several other characters in the game.
As players progress far enough into the Elden Ring storyline, they will be able to visit the Round Table where powerful NPCs or demigods reside in the game. Here, our protagonist can upgrade weapons, receive magical spells to learn, buy usable items, and get information on what to do next (if they get stuck). on the road). During the different stages of the level, it allows unlocking new doors and with it additional information about the world in the Elden Ring. In those details, it’s clear that the Roundtable was once the meeting place for the Golden Order – those charged with protecting Erdtree and keeping Middle-earth together. However, The Shattering event changed that, and the Roundtable Hold is no longer what it used to be.
Prior to the Breakup, Leyndell held the original Roundtable as it was the meeting place for the Golden Order to discuss political issues related to the Lands Between. The now destroyed replica that can still be visited in the capital city is just a remnant. Some people may think that this is a part that FromSoftware used to build the world in the game later.
When Queen Marika of the Elden Ring created the first Elden Lord Godfrey of the Lands Between, an order was also given to control everything here. And from that was born the concept of Golden Order. When writing the storyline for the Elden Ring game, George RR Martin certainly considered the stories of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table in Camelot to build a similar but unique setting for the game.
This goes well, because King Arthur’s fictional world is based on medieval principles and ideas. Leyndell was the capital city of the once Peaceful and Prosperous Land which meant that the Unified Roundtable would be held there, but after the Break it was destroyed by war demigods. war and was never used again in that kingdom.
What’s even more interesting is the fact that the two people who played the original Roundtable roles are stuck in the new work: Alberich and Hewg. To free Alberich, the player must defeat him in a PvP battle when he invades your world. On the other hand, the master blacksmith Hewg constantly tells the protagonist that he is paying a debt he has promised for a long time and will not stop until he has paid it.
The mystery of the Round Table will probably still be talked about in later DLC when it comes out, there are still many things hidden that so far few players have been able to fully understand it. There is a high possibility that there will be DLC revolving around this area so we can explore this place in depth.
