Marika sought freedom from the chains of godhood that the Greater Will had placed upon her. She sought to lead the Tarnished to a different fate than that which had been placed upon them. And so, she set them off into the world, to wage war, to live, and to die, and to one day return by the mercy of grace and claim the Elden Ring for themselves when, many years later, she smashed the Elden Ring. She paid dearly for her act of defiance, both in her imprisonment and crucifixion, but also with the death of her first born son and the curses of her other four. But it would be Radagon who would meet the Tarnished within the Erdtree, who tried so desperately to repair the shattered remains of the Elden Ring, to maintain the Golden Order against the imminent flames, and not Marika who had guided them through grace. At least not at first.

You can find the rest of the cards here!
