Elden Ring Nightreign could give a nameless king a name

Summary

Elden Ring Nightreign gave fans Dark Souls another possible name for the nameless king.
Iron Denial refers to the god of the war called “Grynn”, who is strangely similar to the father of the nameless King Gwyn.
It is not clear when Nightreign occurs, but the fact that the bosses of Dark Souls (including the nameless king) appear only to connect the theory of connected games.

The name of the King is one of the most durable history of Dark Souls, which stretches to the first game in 2011. It began with desecrated sculptures and vague references to Gwyn's first -born son, who was deprived of the annual history of the unknown “betrayal”. Like any good secret from the user, the breadcrumbs sent Lore hounds to madness.

We knew he was the god of war and the father of sunlight warriors, but that was all. Some theories that Andre suited the description, given its form, but most fans were adamant that Solaire was a forgotten God and hoped to find an answer hidden in his eyes. He wrapped himself in a film of sunlight warrior, came to Lordran in finding his own sun, and although you could consider it more spiritual paths, others considered it literal.

The ideas moved from him to find his father, the master of sunlight to restore his lost crown. But there was a glaring problem: Solaire is a human.

The debate raged for years until Dark Souls 3 finally did not put the idea of relaxing when he imagined the nameless king, and revealed that he was deprived of history for joining the dragons himself. Secrets resolved, right? Not yet, because the fans have turned from an attempt to reveal who Gwyn is primarily, as his name is, a debate that continues ten years later.

Some believed that Gwynsen, after the name of Gwynevere and Gwyndolin's conventions, finally explained who was a “dream” in Sen's Fortress (although this is not in line with the Welsh foundations of his siblings). Others assumed that the parish, the god of war named in Dark Souls 2, perhaps named after their unknown mother. This would bring him closer to Filiarore, who was similarly ejected and left in the ring town.

It is a convincing idea and many of them have long been accepting in the community, but Elden Ring Nightreign has submitted an alternative.

Do we finally know the name of the nameless king?

It has never been stated that Nightreign is not a canon, just that it runs “parallel” with Elden Ring. The appearance of Dark Souls bosses has huge consequences for the series that supports the theory of attached games. If you assume that they are the same characters that were in the dark souls, then he could give us a link to the new “God of War”, which just gave us the name of the nameless king.

As U/Ancoveking stressed, during Raider's commemorative story, Iron Menial mentions that “long -lived rituals took place in the name of Grynn, the god of war to praise the virtue of the soul”. It is not clear when Nightreign takes place in relation to Elden. Some speculate that it is a diverse timeline where Nox won, while others believe they are after burning Erdtree. The only specific answer we have is that it is after breaking. No matter when Dark Souls bosses appear, including the king of the nameless king himself, “long ago” could apply to time before Marika ruled, perhaps the age of Gwyn.

“Grynn” may not be useful to name Gwyndolin and Gwynevere conventions, but it is undoubtedly similar to the Lord of Sunlight. As already mentioned, it falls into the same trap as the theory of parish: there is nothing explicit this The god of war to the nameless king. More deities could be described with this Monika, or they could be legendary warriors who were worshiped in history as gods for their triumphs, even though they were people.

Grynn can be a nameless king, but the parish could also be: as with all Lore from SSOFTware, there is no definitive answer. Maybe they're the same. Whatever the case, it is another fun headcanon for a pile.
