Summary

  • In a new Shadow of the Erdtree story trailer, we see a figure in purple robes falling into a void.
  • Fans think that this figure is St. Trina, who has long been theorised to be the same person as Miquella.
  • Right as they fall, the narrator says that Miquella abandoned "even his fate", seemingly backing this theory up.

Ever since 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Elden Ring launched in 2022, fans have sleuthed through item desc♔riptions to try and figure out who the enigmatic St. Trina is.

What we do know is that their gender is ambiguous, they disappeared without warning, they're associated with sleep magic, and they even have faithful priests who worship them. But there's a popular fan theory that Miquella and St. Trina are one and the same.

Miquella and St. Trina are the only two characters with lilies, and while St. Trina is associated with sleep magic, Miquella is found in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an eternal slumber within a cocoon.

Director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed that both characters will play a role in Shadow of the Erdtree, so St. Trina likely vanished to the Land of Shadow before the events of the main game, and fans think 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the new story trailer was hiding them in plain sight.

Elden Ring Fans Think St. Trina And Miquella Are The Same Person

Right when the narrator says that Miquella abandoned "even his fate", the trailer cuts to a shot of a figure in purple robes falling down a dark void. Trina's Lily is described as a "light-purple water lily", and given the assumption that St. Trina was cast to the Land of Shadow, this image lines up almost perfectly with that theory.

Some fans even think that this figure looks like the Nascent Butterfly, which is even more interesting as the item description says that it "appears as if it's just emerged from its cocoon for its entire life." If St. Trina is an aspect of Miquella that was cast off to the Land of Shadow, emerging from a cocoon would describe them, too.

As for the discarded fate, one fan speculates that--as Miquella was one of god's children--he was fated to become god himself one day. In becoming St. Trina, he gave up his fate and thus his power. We know that he shed his "golden flesh", which could even mean that the Land of Shadow is a dream world Miquella now lives in as St. Trina, tying into the sleep magic mentioned earlier.

There's still the question of where Messmer fits into all of this, but the leading theory right now is that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:he is Miquella and Malenia's brother, which would also make him Marika's son. The new story trailer appears to open with Marika, and the Land of Shadow has drapes over the sky very similar to the ones in her bed chamber. Her lineage will evidently play an important role in the upcoming expansion.
