When playing Elden Ring, players take control of a character known as a "Tarnished." According to Game Rant, these are the people who were banished from The Lands Between. The Elden Ring brought a prosperous age to The Lands Between and the Erdtree began to grow where the ring had once been. Over time, the magical Erdtree would shed golden leaves that would bless the people who lived across the land with something called Grace.
Queen Marika the Eternal had six children and each of them craved power. Eventually, a war between them broke out and, because of this, the Erdtree disapproved of this. This meant the people stopped receiving Grace and were outcasted from The Lands Between. You're playing one of these people regardless of the class of character you choose to play.
In total, there are 10 classes players can choose from when starting the game:
- Astrologer
- Bandit
- Confessor
- Hero
- Prisoner
- Prophet
- Samurai
- Vagabond
- Warrior
- Wretch
