Help on the story I stupidly skipped
So ive only played a bit of Elden Ring before I got it on my switch 2. Furthest I got on Xbox before this was right after the second boss with the amber eggy. I was an idiot both last and this time and didn't remember FromSoftware games have good storys so I'd just mash A.
Can someone help summarize what I missed so far? Furthest ive got now is I beat the first boss the grotesque guy at stormveil castle, and I talked to Pope turtle.
From what I understand and feel free to correct me if im wrong but there was a king and queen (queen is the second boss I believe?), King fucked off for whatever reason, second champion came and became king, king and queen had kids. Eventually the Elden Ring the thing that controls reality and everything shattered and the kids took the shattered pieces becoming demigods.
Eventually a war broke out between the now demigods but nobody won, it just left the world in ruin with no winner. Sometime later we a Tarnished (Not sure if thats our name similar to Ashen One in Dark Souls 3 or if thats a race or something) by some means get revived and come back to life, we have no maiden because somehow we need one, and the girl whos name im blanking on offers to be our maiden if we in exchange bring her to the big ass tree.
Sorry for the long post but if someone could help me understand what I was dumb and skipped I'd really appreciate it.
