She also gave a fragment to her brother Rykard as a last resort, so he could kill Maliketh if necessary.

In order to escape it, Ranni stole a fragment of the Rune of Death from Maliketh, the Black Blade, and through fearsome rite, imbued it into the blades of Numen assassins close to Queen Marika herself. Ģ3 February 2022 The Night of Black Knives Īlthough the Two Fingers had chosen her as Marika's successor, Ranni did not wish to be a puppet for the Greater Will and resented her Empyrean fate. Ranni and her siblings were thus raised to demigod status by their new stepmother. Īt some point, Ranni's father would abandon her mother in order to marry Queen Marika and assume the title of second Elden Lord. The full Dark Moon, cold and leaden, would become Ranni's sigil and symbol of her power and authority. She was an old witch well versed in cold-based sorceries, and she taught Ranni to fear the dark moon as she imparted her cold sorcery. Deep in the woods, she would also encounter a snowy crone, known simply as the ' Snow Witch', who would go on to become her secret mentor. What she beheld was cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery. Led by the hand of her mother Rennala, young Ranni would encounter her Dark Moon. Ranni grew up playing with Blaidd, and they were often accompanied by Iji, a troll blacksmith who served the Carian royals. He was approved of by Rennala, and was raised as her foster brother.

The Two Fingers chose her as a potential successor and granted her a Shadow by the name of Blaidd to be her vassal. Ranni was also an Empyrean, meaning she had the potential to one day succeed Queen Marika as the divine ruler of the Lands Between. She had two older brothers, Radahn and Rykard. Originally known as Lunar Princess Ranni, she was the daughter of Radagon, a champion of the Golden Order, and Queen Rennala, head of both the Carian Royal Family and the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
