The Carian Royal Family, rulers of the magical academy in Liurnia, are central figures in Elden Ring's lore, particularly concerning the fate of the Shattering and the lineage of Queen Rennala. Their history is steeped in sorcery, ambition, and tragic familial ties.

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon

Rennala is the matriarch of the Carian Royal Family and the former wife of Radagon of the Golden Order. She is the headmistress of the Raya Lucarian Academy, a powerful sorceress renowned for her mastery of glintstone magic and her connection to the Full Moon.

  • Raya Lucarian Academy: Rennala resides within the Academy, where she is found in a boss fight.
  • Great Rune: She wields the Great Rune of the Full Moon, which she uses to grant rebirth to Tarnished, allowing them to respec their stats.
  • Lore Sificance: Her union with Radagon, a union blessed by the Greater Will, is a pivotal point in the game's lore, explaining the existence of powerful sorcerers and the fractured state of the Golden Order.

Ranni the Witch

Ranni is Rennala's daughter and a prominent figure in Elden Ring's narrative. She is a powerful Empyrean and a sorceress who rejects the Golden Order and its destiny for her.

  • Ranni's Questline: Ranni's questline is one of the most extensive and lore-rich in the game, leading to a unique ending.
  • Rejection of Destiny: She seeks to break free from the influence of the Greater Will and the Two Fingers, aiming to create a new age for the Lands Between.
  • Carian Royal Regalia: Ranni is associated with the Carian Royal Family's legacy and wields powerful Carian sorceries.

Other Carian Figures

While Rennala and Ranni are the most prominent, other members of the Carian Royal Family play roles:

  • Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy: Though he later renounced his Carian heritage to join Volcano Manor, Rykard was once a member of the Carian Royal Family, Rennala's son with Radagon. His story is one of corruption and forbidden desires.
  • The Carian Knights: While not direct family members, the Carian Knights are loyal warriors who serve the Carian Royal Family, wielding distinct Carian-themed weapons and armor.

Carian Sorceries and Legacy

The Carian Royal Family is synonymous with sorcery. Their legacy is preserved through:

  • Carian Sorceries: A distinct school of magic that focuses on glintstone manipulation, moon magic, and sword conjuration.
  • Carian Royal Family Crest: A symbol of their lineage and power.
  • Carian Royal Family Items: Weapons like the Carian Regal Scepter, Carian Knight's Sword, and armor sets are tied to their heritage.

The Carian Royal Family represents a powerful force that stands in opposition to the Golden Order's dominance. Their story is one of magic, ambition, and the struggle for self-determination in a world shaped by divine will.
