Something that's important to note about Godwyn's death: As far as he knew, for his whole life, he was <b>immortal.</b> His mother had taken the very metaphysical concept of death and hid it away. His enemies could wreak destruction, but part of what might explain his highly diplomatic nature is that he himself was functionally without risk. What's his opponent going to do, kill him? Mom said they couldn't, so they physically <b>couldn't.</b>

Martin: "I don't know much about mythos" <br>Godwyn is literally Baldur. Perfect. Pure. Shiny. Dies and everything goes to hell. A war between divine beings. And later a tree burns.

The coolest concept in the game, they destroyed his remberance and left his body. <br>Creating a mindless parasite that naturally infects everything around it. The first and most beloved Demigod was transformed into this horrendous abomination

Seeing his grotesque corpse is one of the few moments that ever gave me pause and genuine chills. It is capital W-R-O-N-G in every sense of the word.

the fact that godwyn was the ONLY original child of the golden lineage to be born without any defects was somehow missed by my smooth brain until you said it. that really makes him being the first of the dead that more symbolic thats wild

Godwyn's fate just sucks. You're killed, but only in spirit, so your body is left behind to just stagnate and decay and warp into...something else, that is continuing to affect the lands to this day, until someone can perhaps help him become the new leader for Those Who Live in Death. <br><br>And his horrific new appearence has elements of aquatic life in it, and it reflects this Japenese view that stagnant water holds corruption and poison, while flowing water is pure. This is shown elsewhere with Malenia and the Scarlet Rot, with her flowing bladework meant to hold back the spread of rot. But this theme was also explored in Sekiro: the waters of the Fountainhead Palace in that world can grant immortality and great power on those that partake of the wayer, but said water is stagnating and infested with parasites, so that immortality is warping and corrupting the people now.

There is a statue in the haligtree of godwyn hugging miquella and melenia. He isnt deformed and shows to have love for both of his blood siblings, its possible he never knew mogh and morgott existed

Destined Death is probably my favorite part of the Elden Ring lore. One of the first things Marika ever does to establish her order is seal away true death. But that one decision is why in so many ways she doomed herself and doomed everyone else.

I always like to think that the reason why Godrick of all losers got such a broken rune, the very center of the elden ring at that was because the rune was originally fated for Godwyn in the case he lived to the Shattering but because he was dead it instead just defaulted to his next of kin. I mean Godwyn was essentially the center of Marika's family himself, the moment he was removed, everyone else drifted apart.
