Siofra River is an underground region in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
Map of Siofra River
One of the two great rivers that flow beneath the Lands Between. Siofra is said to be the grave of civilizations that flourished before the Erdtree[1], and evidence of this can be found in the many ancient structures that litter the vast, subterranean space. The towering remains of an ancient dynasty[2] are prominent throughout the area, inhabited by the Claymen who once served as the dynasty's priests.[3]
The lower portion of Siofra River can be accessed via the Siofra River Well in Limgrave's Mistwood. This wooded area is home to spectral Ancestral Followers, who live alongside a diverse assortment of wildlife. The remains of a great, horned beast can be found in the Hallowhorn Grounds. Interacting with the remains after lightning the flames scattered throughout the area will facilitate an encounter with an Ancestor Spirit. This area also connects to Caelid via the Deep Siofra Well.
Towering over the woodland is Nokron, one of the Eternal Cities inhabited by the Nox. Nokron is initially inaccessible, however a route is opened when a star falls upon Limgrave, following the defeat of Starscourge Radahn. The Fingerslayer Blade, a treasure of Nokron said to be able to harm the Greater Will and its vassal Fingers[4], is found within Night's Sacred Ground, beneath a chair-crypt that holds a vast corpse. This upper region also houses another Hallowhorn Grounds, from which the Regal Ancestor Spirit can be encountered. Nearby, the aqueduct hides a coffin which can be used to access Deeproot Depths, guarded by a pair of Valiant Gargoyles.
To the east, on a separate island within the vast cavern, are the ruins of an ancient palace. It is here that Mohg, Lord of Blood has established the seat of his coming Mohgwyn Dynasty, and all the nightmares it may bring.[5]

Trivia[]
- The name Siofra is pronounced "SHEE-fra". It is a girl's name in the Irish Gaelic language, meaning "sprite, fairy, elf, changeling". A changeling was believed to be a fairy that had been left in place of a human (typically a child) stolen by other fairies. The name Ainsel has similar origins.
