Ranni does not want an "order of darkness" it's a terrible misntranslation, she wants an age of freedom, with no "order" that forces people adn theri fates, her only role would be to safeguard the world she rules against outergods and mosnters from the beyond and the stars, hence why she leaves into her "dfark lonely path", in her ending its at least not lonely, you go with her.

[YEE]

1:35 No, Maliketh, Marika's half-brother, was the guardian of the Rune of Death, Godwyn was merely the Night of Black Knives' victim. He didn't become the Prince of Death until undead and their sympathizers started calling him such.

Ranni doing everything in her power to leave her own life but also not forgetting her mother and her love for her shows by how much she wants to protect her. I love her; would definitely become elden lord for her (not to sound like I’m simmping.) I just share the same values as her I think my mom is the most important firgure in my life and she’s gone through so much sometimes I forget about my own feelings in order to make my moms life better because of how much I love her and I owe her for who I am today. So I kind of want this ending of elden ring

I think what really broke Ranella was Ranni’s death. Ranni is likely born from Radagon from the egg not conceived by Ranella (hence born of a single god). Ranella wanted to rebirth Ranni, not herself. You also didn’t mention that Radagon and Marika are the same person.

Huge Spoilers Ahead!

If you do the gold mask quest at some point you will have to find a statue of Radagon in Leyndell with a message saying that regression will reveal a secret, if you use the incantation regression in-front of the statue this will change into that of Marika, and the message will now say that Radagon is Marika. I dont know how much this finding affects Ranni's purpose, this could be a good argument to strengthen her seek for revenge, if maybe Marika had planned to give birth a strong sorcerer with Rennala or if She fused with Radagon after never allowing him to go back to Rennala.

I wish there's one ending in elden ring that the tarnished choose out of our own selfishness just like Sekiro shura ending. The ending where we're sick of being told what to do and choose to just "screw it all, this is my choice. suck it". Lord of Frenzied flame is almost perfect for it except it's still an ending that someone else chose for us (three fingers).

In the Blasphemous claw description it says she conspired with Praetor Rykard so that he could one day kill Maliketh. Also Godwyn the golden is not Radagon's he is directly related to Godfrey.

[Sesheyan]

It's interesting to think about these things... and interesting that when you first make a character and start the game, the body in the room you get your first loot from is a woman dressed in the finger maidens outfit. Is this your finger maiden that was assassinated so that there would be a tarnished with no maiden she could manipulate?

Looking very close into rennallas egg, it seems like there some kind of black root like formation inside it that remembers a lot of what was growing from godwyns eyes after his soul was dead.
I wonder what was the exact timeline, but maybe that was some part of ranni inside the egg growing?
What if Radagon took her great rune and maybe a piece of her flesh (eeww) inside the egg so rennalla could feel her coldness inside it? Amber in this game is like a source of life and vigor.
And if that is true, there something about great runes too. Morgott and Moghs great runes have a matching pattern, probably because they were twins.
Rykard and Radahns pattern match too (It was never said they were twins though), but if the rune we get from the egg is actually Rannis... the other rune that matches it is Malenias.
There is a guy who photoshoped every rune and noticed that.

The item description for those scholars in rennalas boss fight says they are regular student's who have used the egg to be reborn but have become feeble minded in the process

[ArthaxtaDaVince]

It's interesting, out of all her children, it was Ranni that actually seems to care about her mother. Rykard and Radahn don't have much to do with her.

[i_Frankenstein]

Two things
1. Ranni stole the rune of Death from Malekith not Godwyn
2. Marika decided to shatter the ring out of sadness after loosing her son Godwyn

[Sylentmana]

Ranni is not half Empyrean. She is full Empyrean because Radagon and Marika are the same person. Therefore she was literally born of a single god. Also, Godwyn is not a son of Radagon. He’s the son of Marika’s first husband Godfrey.

[gianghuynh]

I think Ranni doesn’t hate Radagon, more likely she hates Marika. Radagon is unique that he doesn’t have any voice line, despite having a lot of impact on the lore. He is probably just as much a victim of the Golden Order as anyone else. He and Marika maybe the same, so that makes a lot of Ranni’s hate point toward Marika. Ranni targets Godwyn the Golden, who is Marika’s pride and the only one of her kids not fucked up by some curses. If she hated Radagon that much she could have targeted the Emperean twins. But since she probably realise Radagon and Marika are the same person, and the twins are yet another victims of the Golden Order’s need to control, on top of suffering curses themselves, she would instead target the one that would hurt Marika the most and thus upset the Golden Order.

Ranni sitting there wondering why her dad left her mom for himself.

[brootal]

Radagon was obviously a Chad in order for Rennala to be that heartbroken

[dayne]

Marika IS Radagon. This can be learned by completing the Goldmask questline.
Marika herself was behind the night of the black knives, as well as setting Hewg to the task of 'making a weapon to kill a god' aka Marika herself (or, possibly, the Erdtree) We know this from his prayer to her at Roundtable.
The Erdtree imprisoned Marika inside itself after she shattered the ring as it was a grave sin against the 'greater will' (per Enia, at Roundtable). The timeline isn't clear, maybe she could still exert her power to set her death in motion after the Erdtree captured her, but I think it's more likely that like Ranni, Marika wanted to break free of the two-finger/greater will's control and the shattering of the Ring and her eventual death was the only way out.

[hfyd]

Empyreans are only born from 2 Gods, who then have the opportunity to ascend into godhood. There's a theory floating around that Rennala is not Ranni's real mother because of this. Especially because Rykard and Radahn are not Empyreans either.

[tylercafe]

I just want one Ranni video that has all the information. No mention of Rykard in any of these Ranni videos just makes me think people pumping out lore videos way faster than they are playing the game.

[TheRealVincentValentine]

She was close to her mother cause even the boss fight ranni sent them to a dimension where ranalas way more power then she was in phase one .
