After a long journey in Godhood and numerous victories, including her triumph over the Gloam-eyed Queen, Marika entrusted the Rune of Destined Death to her most loyal shadow beast, Maliketh. When a new threat arose in the form of the Fire Giants, Marika once again led her forces to war. In a decisive battle, she personally struck down the Fell God of the Fire Giants with her hammer. However, upon discovering that the Flame of Ruin could never be extinguished, she cursed the last of the giants to tend to it for eternity.

With each success and manipulation, Marika solidified her authority in the Lands Between, gaining the moniker of the "good Eternal Goddess." Yet, this was merely the beginning of her grand scheme to free herself from the influence of the Greater Will and establish her own order. Her vision was a new world order, one that defied all Outer Gods and existing Orders.

In the heart of Leyndell, the capital of the Lands Between, the Eternal Queen stood. Her golden eyes surveyed the city and the horizon beyond. Dressed in a long black gown with intricate gold embroidery, she pondered her next move. Among the many heavy decisions, one stood out, the shattering of the Elden Ring. In this moment, she needed to divert her attention from the myriad of watchful eyes, those beneath her that she cared a little, and those above that she had to elude at all costs.
