The Tarnished are individuals who lost the grace of the Erdtree and were consequently banished from the Lands Between by Queen Marika the Eternal. Following the breaking of the Elden Ring, the Tarnished were beckoned by lost grace, fragmentary divine light from the Erdtree, to return. A Tarnished of no renown, called to cross the sea of fog to the Lands Between, having been blessed once more by the Grace once thought lost to his kind.
