BONUS COMMENT LORE: There is a Battle Mage on a nearby precipice, and he gazes at the women as they dance in the village. In a nearby village, celebrants have been murdered, and other mages stand over them. Is there a rivalry going on here? @Quelaag will make a video soon going into more detail :)

"These dances are a massive salty middle finger to Marika."

“There’s something terribly wrong here, the women here dance heedlessly-“

They hitting the griddy out of pure disrespect for the witch.

The key definition of "I dance on the grave of my enemies"

Dominula is honestly one of my favourite parts of the game, and so is the Apostle fight there. The village just has such a great "feel" and "atmosphere" to it. The lore is also great. Thanks for giving it some love, Vaati!

This fucking town freaked me out in my 1st playthrough. Like hell, that laughter...

These shorts are something I never knew I wanted until now

Imagine you were lost somewhere and ended up at their location.

Man a year ago I saw this short about elden ring and it caught my interest, and because of this short I played this amazing game and had the time of my life with it, I don’t know how to express how grateful I am, I just want to say thank you.

These ladies were a welcome sight the first time I saw them. They don’t attack you, they dance, and they sing. After hours of getting attacked by anything and everything, entering their village was a breath of fresh air. Also, does anyone think they were inspired by France’s dancing plague?

Sometimes this lore just seems like an advanced version of an "Am I The Asshole" post.

These ladies actually freaked me out when I first encountered them lol😅😅😅 There's just something about how they are so carefree at first but then suddenly turn on you at the drop of a hat lol.

Miyazaki saw Midsommar and thought “I want that in my game” 😂

[RhodianColossus]

"there's something deeply wrong here" can be said about every single thing in every soulsborne game

[AsAugustSleeps]

Can’t help but think that there was some Midsommar influence here.

When my son came across them, he was like "I wonder what will happen if I hit one." He was dead in less than 5 seconds.

I really wish we could get that dance as an emote and dance with them :(

They likely also have Kuru Disease, also known as the "laughing sickness", transmitted by cannibalism.
