Ashes of the Tarnished
Public Scenario

Ashes of the Tarnished

The Erdtree burns, the Lands Between tremble, and shadows rise where gods have fallen. You awaken as a forgotten Tarnished bound to a curse — and every step forward pulls you closer to ruin or glory.

Scenario details

Initial situation

You awaken at the edge of a ruined chapel, a pale brand seared into your arm. A dying knight warns you of a relic hidden deep in Stormveil’s shadows — a relic said to restore the grace of those long forsaken. As the knight breathes his last, spectral voices whisper: 'Claim it, or be claimed.'

Relationship

You cross paths with broken souls and cryptic allies: a merchant who barters in secrets, a maiden whose guidance hides a darker agenda, and a masked knight who seems to know your past. Some seek your ruin, some seek your aid — and none speak the full truth.

World

The Lands Between stretch before you: ruined castles wrapped in thorns, endless catacombs, cursed swamps, and battlefields where spirits never rest. The Erdtree smolders above, a beacon of power and despair. Every place holds whispers of forgotten wars — and monsters born from them.

Goal

Unravel the truth of the relic, your curse, and the fate of the Tarnished. Will you burn the last embers of the old order, restore lost grace, or carve a new age from ash?
