Being a master of this and also enjoying it immensely, George RR Martin agreed and started on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Elden Ring plays off in its own present time, FromSoftware needed help building the backstory and history of the game. George RR Martin then created this by <strong>writing the history<\/strong> of what happened in the universe 5000 years before the events in the game. This also wasn\u2019t just a broad overview but <strong>went quite in-depth<\/strong> into the history.
