The Haligtree's soldiers desperately awaited Miquella's return to the rotten tree.

With Miquella's absence, his Haligtree grew horribly misshapen and became a husk. Despite all of Mohg's efforts, no matter how much of his bloody bedchamber he tried to share, Miquella would remain completely unresponsive. He would have his followers render offerings of blood and drench Miquella's cocoon in order to facilitate his awakening.

Mohg took the slumbering Empyrean's infant form deep underground, where he worked to raise Miquella to full godhood, wishing to become his consort, create a new dynasty, and take the role of monarch. In truth it was his half-brother Mohg, Lord of Blood, who had gained power from an outer god known only as the Formless Mother. Before he could finish this process, someone cut the tree open and abducted Miquella's sleeping form. Miquella embedded himself into the Haligtree, possibly in order to grow to adulthood and thus come closer to achieving true godhood. The Haligtree would became a hidden haven, and a best chance for salvation for many of the persecuted and the unwanted in the Lands Between, such as the Albinaurics. Miquella was in turn said to bless the low and meek. Soldiers and Knights sworn to protect the Haligtree would use Unalloyed gold as a symbol of their loyalty and devotion to Miquella, wearing crowns made of the metal and creating shields imbedded with it. The sapling was grown on top of the fortress of Elphael and became known as the Haligtree. Īt some point, Miquella started watering a sapling with his own blood in the hope that it would become a new Erdtree. He would also unsuccessfully try to find a solution for his half-brother Godwyn and his state of incomplete death. He used it to craft needles that could ward away the meddling of outer gods and thus forestall Malenia's incurable rot, and later even subdue the power of the Frenzied Flame. It was then that he began creating Unalloyed gold. However, Miquella would abandoned fundamentalism when he found out it was unable to treat Malenia's rot. He was an adherent of the Golden Order fundamentalism, developing new incantations with his father Radagon. Īs an Empyrean, Miquella was chosen by his own Two Fingers as a possible candidate to succeed Queen Marika as a new god of the coming age.

Miquella is said to be loved by many people, indeed he has the ability to compel affection from others. He made a promise to Malenia, who regarded him as the most fearsome Empyrean. The twins were very close, and Malenia would become her brother's sworn blade and protector, while Miquella worked tirelessly to try and undo the curses they had both been born into. While Malenia was born with rot in her body, Miquella was cursed with the body of a perpetually young child.

Miquella, like his twin sister Malenia, was born cursed. He and his sister are the children of the union of Queen Marika the Eternal and King Consort Radagon. Miquella of the Haligtree is a demigod, an Empyrean, and the elder twin brother of Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
