i’ve learned so much elden lore but one question remains: what’s with the ghostly banners outside of leyndell
ghostly remnants of the fucked up huge battle when everyone was trying to get Leyndell back from Morgott
its sorta like the ghosts that you can find around, but for an entire fucked up event
but why? do banners have souls? are they made of people?? miyazaki, i have QUESTIONS!!!
ok okokoko kokokokokokokok ok

ok
so ygotta think of it like "stored energy" irl. yknow? bad shit goes down in a place, and it sorta leaves an Ethereal Vibe -- them flags be Ethereal Vibes, of the old battlefield.
sort of like the graves in the DLC preview image
(its also same explanation for why them ghostly folks just repeat the same thing; it isnt a ghost, its just a Vibe, implanted there by the event)
