The Gold Road runs throughout all of the Lands Between and is a remnant of an ancient Elden Empire. New information from the Shadow of the Erdtree suggests that the people in the Shadow Lands were part of this empire.

ABOUT
Join us in jolly cooperation as we piece together a timeline for the Lands Between.
The theories presented by this channel are woven not only from text descriptions and lines of dialogue, but from the wealth of visual evidence in the game. Using methods inspired by real world historians and archaeologists, we can thoughtfully analyze the art and architecture of the Lands Between to answer questions like “Who built the Divine Towers?” “When was Farum Azula destroyed?” and “What really happened on the Night of the Black Knives?”
Shoutout to the Elden Ring Archaeologists Discord who have participated in crafting the theories presented on this channel:
