I've fully talked about this in this very thread. The stardust statement being linked to the Big Bang is a link made here, not something explicitly stated in the game. What that could mean in game isn't inherently what it means here, given the distinctly different cosmological issues. Furthermore, the statements provided don't prove (even if they were real, actual stars) that Radahn affected specifically them rather than the other two dozen things referred to as "stars" in the game- this, too, is a fabrication of this thread, one path chosen over the others.
except for the fact that you keep ignoring the falling stars and the malformed stars have no actual relation to the stars that govern the fate of the carian and a link between them is never formed, radahn like i've been saying stopped many things from moving with his gravity magic, from falling star beasts to astels to the most important part the stars that govern the fate of the carian which when combined with Ymir statements are far more likely to be actual stars like our own but with a magical element like everything else in the game (I mean hell what are we know gonna say that the moon in elden ring is not a moon even though by all cosmological classifications it would just be a moon? just because it has magical aspects to it?)
I believe I presented an off-the-cuff alternative to the 'stardust' thing already, but in case I hadn't, it could well mean that the Fallingstar Beasts are simply the origin of life in ER. Or, given the discourse of magic coming from stars (read previous pages), it could be that magic is simply the origin. You have no way of definitively knowing, you're just arbitrarily choosing to believe it's 1:1 with reality when the verse goes to great pains to differentiate itself from real cosmology.
fallingstar beasts are never refered to as dust or star dust, to say they in anyway would have similarity to something that specific is a reach and a half, falling star beasts are born of the void (space) and that is all that we know about them which is further confirmed in the dlc btw
gravitational missle:
"Said to have originated in the lightless dark far beyond—the home of the fallingstar beasts."
the falling star beasts or astels have little to no links to what count ymir was talking about the only real link is that both have been called stars or falling stars, but many cultures and people call meteors shooting stars, does that instantly equate them to actual stars? no.
It's further ironic that you insist on evoking the images of Radahn's moving stars while conveniently avoiding talking about the impact of one such star. Which would prevent this from being Tier 4 in the first place, even if they were real stars, because we take destruction values over anything else. And the destruction value of all shown stars is 7-A.
I specifically stated that some of the things falling in Radahn's cutsence are not stars but meteor's and astels and the actual valume of meteors/astels to stars is an unknown, which is something you keep ignoring, I specifically focus on the fact of the stars that govern the fates of the carian which are never refered to as astel's and have literally 0 links between the two as the astels and the fallingstar beasts are creatures that have 0 links to fate in their item descriptions and would actually not even be a good representation of a star if we would apply the magical nature of the world as their descriptions calls them malformed (if you want to equate them as 1:1 to the stars that govern fate of the carian)
You're not bringing any new points to the discussion. It's all information that has been processed. Respectfully, I don't see this going anywhere.
I am going into more details with the points brought up earlier which have been either skiped over or not brought up in the first place like the stars that govern the carian fates which when combined with the fact brought up by
@Planck69 which is that the pole star exists in the elden ring universe and seems to be near identical to ours and the fact that we have a model of the globe in the carian study hall makes the statements of count ymir that much more concrete, a carian sorcerer that studied that stars confirms to us the begining of the unvierse started as a great rupture (a big bang) which further resulted in all living beings being made of star dust.
The only counter argument to any of that, that you brought up is that astels and fallingstar beasts have been refered to as stars/malformed stars, which is an almost none argument as their nomenclature is simply flare in it being what most people in a medival society would call an alien monster shooting down from the sky aka a star, a shooting one, a fallingone or a malformed one since they have strange and unshaply bodies for the people living within the lands between.
