Above you will find a diagram breaking down all of the core relationships in Elden Ring. These will give you the full picture of the origins of the demigods and other key players, however, for more context, you can find further relationship information below.

  • Marika: As we know, Marika and Radagon are the same person, however, they have three kids together. These children are Malenia, and Miquella, and it is heavily implied Melina is also Marika’s child. Marika also had a marriage with Godfrey the first Elden Lord and together they had three more children, Morgott, Godwyn, and Mohg. As of Shadow of the Erdtree we now know that Messmer the Impaler was also one of Marika’s children.
  • Radagon: Despite being the same person as Marika and having Malenia, Miquella, and most likely Melina with her, Radagon married Rennala and had three more children. These are Radahn, Ranni, and Rykard.
  • Godrick: The last descendant of the golden lineage, Godrick is related to Godfrey and his children, however, the connection to this demigod isnā€™t exactly clear.
  • Malenia: The most iconic of Marika and Radagonā€™s children, Malenina has descendants of her own that expand the family tree outside of her parents and siblings. These are Millicent, Amy, Mary, Maureen, and Polyanna, and while she didnā€™t birth them they are descendants of her Scarlet Bloom.
  • Blaidd: While Blaidd isnā€™t blood-related to anybody in the Elden Ring family tree, he is the stepbrother of Ranni being welcomed by Rennala and raised alongside her youngest child.

This is the status quo as of Shadow of the Erdtree’s release. Of course, new information could be revealed at a later date that would expand this family tree or perhaps provide more details about some of these relationships.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is now available on PC and consoles.
