halvausten

Halvausten is a fictional concept originating from the world-building of the video game Elden Ring. Within the game's lore, it refers to a catastrophic event or curse that afflicts the Lands Between. The exact nature of halvausten is not explicitly detailed but is generally understood to be a force that corrupts, degrades, or destroys. It is often associated with the decay of the Golden Order and the ensuing madness and transformation of many of its inhabitants. The term itself suggests a deep-seated, pervasive ailment, perhaps a spiritual or existential blight. Players encounter the consequences of halvausten through the mutated creatures, the fragmented memories of those affected, and the general state of ruin that permeates the game's environment. Understanding halvausten is key to grasping the overarching narrative and the tragic circumstances faced by the Tarnished seeking to mend the Lands Between. It represents a fundamental breakdown of the world's established order and the spiritual fabric of its people.
