Hey guys, I just started playing Shadow of the Erdtree and I'm starting to suspect the lore is really dark

IDK, just a vibe I'm getting. I have a feeling the back story to this world is a lot more twisted than you'd initially think.

Has anyone noticed this too? Do you think there's more to the DLC than just a big tree and a cosmic egg?

The fire nation is hiding something!

Yeah between the whole thing starting off with a genocide ordered by Marika and Miquella...

it's probably going to get dark. Dunno if you got to the first boss yet but it was a pretty upsetting concept for me.

edit: and there's the whole "Miquella's superpower is compelling people to do things" angle.

I found a rune called The Eye of Marika then found the point nearby saying that was where he left his eye. I pit two and two together and felt like Vaati for a moment
