By conversing, one could also learn some fragments of the plot.
These dialogues, linked with the "Grand Rune" and "Recollection" items obtained after killing Gerrick, could piece together another part of the story.
In the era when the Golden Order was at its zenith,
the first Elden king, Gefrei, united with the goddess Marika to bear a son, Gedwin.
He is the "Initial Dead," Gedwin, mentioned in the game's opening CG.
He is also the owner of the dead man's face found beneath the cliffs of Stonewell.
After Gedwin's father, Gefrei, was exiled to become a Fading One, and his mother, Marika, also disappeared without a trace,
The Golden Order was on the brink of collapse, and the ancient Dragon Tribe seized the opportunity to attack King City Rodel.
The grand prince Gedwin stepped forward, single-handedly reinstated stability to the Order, and reconciled with the ancient dragons, forming an alliance.
Thus, he became the Golden king.
