Before the age of Erdtree in Elden Ring, Ancient Dragons ruled over the Lands Between and served under their own Elden Lord named Placidusax. However, many hundred years have passed since Placidusax’s god fled, bringing an end to the age of Ancient Dragons. The weakened Elden Lord Placidusax went to the timeless Crumbling Farum Azula along with other Ancient Dragons and now awaits the return of his god. However, there were two Ancient Dragon sisters who decided to stay with the humans and teach them the red lightning incantations, leading to the formation of Leyndell’s dragon cult.
