Ranni is also caligo. On rannis hat you can see the identical outline as the eye that appears in boss fight. Coincidentally that eye is exactly the eye of caligo. Even dead she still watches. Meaning there's something special about her. Its because ranni still maintains some of her divine essence despite her transformation

Nightreign is age of stars and elden ring 2
Heolstor is the tarnished and has the dmgs which is why you cant find it ingame
Ranni is caligo which is why her hat has the same eye shape on it as caligos eye and caligo does frost damage

>not related to nightreign
>he has the darkmoon greatsword which you cant get in nightreign meaning its indeed her sword it even looks the same
>ranni's hat has caligos eye on it and caligo uses frost hinting at a connection
>ranni is nowhere to be seen but the tarnished(heolstor) never became bayle so the dragon transformation was halted somehow
>ranni is shown in her quest to watch over the tarnished just as caligo wishes to watch everything
>ranni very clearly became caligo
Nightreign is set in ranni's age of stars

Nightreign is after rannis ending
Heolstor is the tarnished
Caligo is ranni
Gnawing infant is the bio-child of ranni and tarnished raised by recluse born from rennalas egg
Rannis hat has claigos eye
The darkmoon greatsword isn't attainable ingame because heolstor uses it it looks the same too

Heolstor is the tarnished
Ranni is caligo
That egg thing in the sky is rannis moon
Recluse's baby is the first and only demigod of ranni/tarnished's age recluse is its adoptive mother

Let's start with Heolstor. He has marikas rune within him, fitting if he beat marika and we dont know what it is so it's likely hers. He has the darkmoon greatsword which isnt attainable ingame. Upon rannis mutation and unintentionally stripping herself of godhood the tarnished became yet another night and in his bitterness allowed himself to be struck down calling upon the night out of sheer desperation to save his precious ranni or destroy everything if he cant. Reflected in wylders sacrifice for his wife duchess

Ranni is galigo.
Why? As per bayles item description the tarnished was meant to turn into him, but sacrafice is a key theme in elden ring. Especially in fromsoft games with selfish characters, ranni herself sacrificed her own godhood and self to prevent the tarnished's transformation leading her to becoming an ice dragon. Ice as thats her primary source of magic from her moon. Her hat also has the exact same eye shape as caligos who stares at you from afar. Whats left of her consciousness still clings to heolstor and now the night he has summoned. Her sacrifice mirrors duchess dying to save her husband wylder


That moon has the same color and shape as rannis at the end and its not some egg or whatever. Its a moon

Recluse isnt the babies mom but its adoptive mother as her questline says, it was created through artifical means but isn't an albinauric and has great power. This babe was meant to get the only demigod of ranni and tarnished's age hatched from rennala's egg, imbued with the seed of the tarnished and the god nature of ranni. But upon rennalas death the egg was taken and hatched by recluse who proceeded to use it as a weapon hence its energy state it not having the connection to actually have a flesh body yet.
